No the first part of the connection process on the PS3 searches for an ethernet connection, once it does not find one it then searches for a wireless connection
You need a WiFi connection to the internet to be able to use the wireless connection in the PS3. For people without one and that already have an internet connection they can purchase a wireless router and connect it to the modem. You can also purchase a router and an ethernet cable and have a wired connection to the internet.
The PS3 allows you to connect to an existing wireless connection
You can use a wireless connection if you have a wireless router
Yes The PS3 was designed to connect with WiFi or ethernet cable. It can not connect to WiFi if you do not have the equipment to allow a WiFi connection like a wireless router or modem
you need to set up your wireless router with your internet connection to your computer, and then search for an access point on the ps3 under internet setting, under set up connection, then just follow the instructions from there
PS3 has the ability to have a wireless connection or a wired connection to the internet. It does not have wireless internet, you must purchase a broadband internet service. Many people already have broadband internet service for a PC and need a router to allow them to connect the PS3. A router will allow two or more items to be connected to the internet service. A wireless router will allow them to connect wirelessly if they both have a wireless connection capability like the PS3 and also allow them to be connected with an ethernet cable for a wired connection.
I found I preferred a wired connection, but others may have had different results. I did have a good connection, but I wanted a perfect connection and the best connection. The PS3 connection test showed better results for the wired connection compared to the wireless for the internet connection. For the Bluetooth wireless connection of the controllers and other accessories the PS3 is excellent
There are a few ways to have Internet on your PS3 system First of all, you'll need a wireless/wired router. If you have a wireless router, go to settings, Internet settings, & select the mode which edits your Internet connection. The rest will be provided by the PS3 & is personal.With a wired router, plug the router wire in the back of your PS3 & do the same as wireless, only at the beginning select Ethernet cable.That's mostly it
If you go to setting, scroll ALL the way down to network settings there should be Internet connection set this to wireless and it should scan for a wireless connection then you must enter your password etc...
All PS3 but the first 20 GB model are wireless. That means if you already have a wireless internet connection they can connect to it.
Yes a wireless broadband connection or an ethernet cord
