![]() You do have to hook it up to a PC with internet to set it up initially (5min) and activate file sharing (you need internet this one time to download Samba software to the router via the web configuration page). ![]() Here's an Amazon US link to the mini router I use: The router takes about 10 seconds longer to boot up than it takes the PS2 to boot and run OPL, so you either wait the 10 seconds before launching OPL or you set OPL's ethernet mode to manual and once in OPL you wait a few seconds longer before pressing 'X' to start Ethernet. I also have a 6" ethernet cable going from the router's LAN port to the PS2 Ethernet jack. I have a single micro USB cable going from the PS2 to the Mango router and the Seagate drive is pluged into the router's USB-A port. I'm using a Seagate 2TB USB3 HDD I bought about 2-3 years ago and a GL.iNet Mango router. ![]() This way you get to use OPL in Ethernet mode (about 10-12MB/s - faster than DVD), your HDD can be NTFS or exFAT so you don't need to split 4GB+ games & everything is direct to the PS2 (no home network or internet needed.Īs a bonus, if your portable HDD is relatively new, you can power both the mini-router and portable drive via a single PS2 usb port - no external power or on/off switch needed! Best way hands down (IMHO) is to buy a mini-router with Samba support and plug that into your ethernet port and plug the portable HDD into the mini-router. ![]()
