Quick question RE: PS3

Jacob · 4th October 2008, 11:35

Can a PS3 have wireless internet connection?

esmufc07 · 4th October 2008, 11:37

Yes, it has built in Wi-Fi.

Cheers

esmufc07 · 4th October 2008, 11:40

No problemo.

Jacob · 7th October 2008, 11:16

So, how do I do it? Do I need to buy something or is it built in?

Well you need a router or or something if you haven't got one. Then once you've fiddled round with settings to make it work, its easy as anything.

I have a wireless router connected already which my laptop is running on. But what do I do with the PS3 to recognize the network

Cornell · 7th October 2008, 11:22

Sometimes you need to fiddle with settings on the router like DMZ but on the PS3 you just go into network settings and get it to try pick up a wireless signal, Then it guides you through the steps.

Jacob · 7th October 2008, 11:24

Ahh, must be the router settings indeed. Cheers, will look into that. Think you need to open some ports too

I put "//standard-gateway" in the adress bar of my internet browser. A pop-up appeared which required username and password. I put "admin" as username, and *blank* as password (the usual stuff) but didn't get in
