I might not be right about this, so don't flame me but. . .

What you are doing is breaking up a connection when you have one router. That is why you can run 4 different stuff, you are just breaking the connection into four ways. This is why if you have just your PS2 on, you don't lag much, when your sister is running a computer or two along with your PS2, you have problems. Thats what is happening here. I am guessing that this wireless has 4 ports, even though it is likely that it is only 1. Now you have the capability to run 8 things at once. You have 1/8 of the power of a connection running to your PS2 now. That isn't anything. Of course alot depends on your connection speed, I am thinking you must have a cable modem. In this case it would be better than just regular DSL because cable is faster.

If you want wireless, I would recommend just buying a wireless router to replace the one you've got. The one that takes wires.
Hope that helps, and again, I am not sure that is exactly all correct...

I FINALLY bought SOCOM 2 after my boss about bit my head off. Well, I set up the internet just fine (broadband-cable), and, to start, every time I tried to connect to the North American area it tells me I have to update. I updated like 6 times, getting frustrated, and now I get an error that there is no place to archive. What is going on?

edit: memory card has lots of space.

TIA

It's random socom lag...but...it might be you. Try resetting your modem (and router if you have one).

I am having the same problems, except I've done it like 20 times now.

Actually, it ended up being a memory card issue. I thought there was enough space, but there wasn't. I just went out and bought a 16mb card solely for SOCOM and I've been playing online w/ no probs.
