I'm assuming as you have no phone, you connect to the internet via Virgin's cable service.

If that's the case you'll already have a router as that is what your computer uses to connect.

Firstly, is your computer connected to the router/modem from Virgin with a wire or is a wireless connection? If it's wireless, then the PS3 will already work as it is wireless enabled. You might then have to buy a wireless receiver for your son's computer upstairs.

If your router is wired into your computer and does not have wireless capability, then you'll need a wireless router. You can leave it by your computer and continue to connect that with a wire to stop you having to buy a wireless dongle for both your computer and your son's computer.
