    Yeah you can connect the two with standard CAT5 cable, not even sure if you need a router, but they'll find each other that way and u can play system link mode.

    I'm thinking different rooms so not a direct cable connection

    one would be hard wired to the router and the other would have the wireless adapter

    That is the set up we have here in the house, except I use my laptop instead of the wireless adapter.

    You can play "System Link" games with a router.
