Internet connection for PS2?

There are 3 ways to connect your PlayStation 2:

1. Direct Connection

The fast and simple way to connect your PS2.

Please note, you cannot connect your PC to the Internet when using a direct connection.

2. Router Connection

Play your PS2 online and connect your PC to the Internet at the same time.

3. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Connect your PS2 to the Internet through your PC. ICS is ideal for USB and PCI modems and cheaper than buying a broadband router.

Attention: Not all PS2s are ready to connect to the Internet. If you don't have the new slimline PS2, you will need to buy a PS2 Network Adapter. See your PS2’s documentation for more information.

Although PS2s have inbuilt USB ports, USB broadband modem and routers cannot be directly connected. See connection methods below for options.
