Default It is possible to connect a PS2 online through a router?

I just tried to connect to online play with my PS2, but I put it through my router. When it went to connect it said my network cable was unplugged. I checked all the connections, they are correct. Is there something that would block my PS2 from having acess because it is through my router?

While it is possible, you need to buy a special gaming router.

A special gaming router? Why is this? Isn't it the same connection?

That site says "a router aimed at gamers" not a router required for gamers.

That router was the only actual product I came up with which leads me to believe that there is not an actual type of router that is required.

Does that make sense?
