I have 2 PS3s, one wired and one wifi. They both work fine, but there are some issues to keep in mind:

  • There can be additional latency (lag) with wifi vs a wired connection.

  • Wifi networks are only as fast as the slowest connection to the AP. This could be a family member's phone across the house, which could slow things down, even if they are not drawing much data.

  • Most consumer-grade routers only allow you to port forward to one IP, so one of your consoles may have a strict NAT. This doesn't always cause problems, but it can.

    BTW, if you are concerned about wifi in particular, you could always purchase a small 4 or 5-port switch. Connect both consoles to the new switch, then wire the new switch to your old router.
