Help me with my PS3. Tips and recommendation

[photoshop]

Hi There

Recently purchased a PS3 and am now looking to capitalise on it.

1. First thing i need to do is setup a wireless network so i can communicate with it. My PS3 is downstairs in the front room and my PC is in my bedroom. So i need a descent wireless cable router (?)

2. I need software to transform it into a home multimedia centre ?

3. Looking to add a 250Gb external HDD to the PS3 for more space. External because i can turn it on/off as and when required.

What wireless router would you boys recommend?
What software should i be using/needing?
Adding an external HDD a good idea?

What else should i be looking at doing to capitalising on my PS3 interms of a multimedia centre?

I have a Speedtouch 585v6 and never had an announce of trouble with connectivity. Both PC and PS3 connect wirelessly.

If you want to stream media from your PC to the PS3 you'll need Windows Media Player 11 or TVersity.

Adding an external HDD is a perfect option in my opinion. It makes transferring files from PC to PS3 much easier plus you can also back up your PS3 to it for quick restore if it ever goes dicky.
