How to Connect ps3 to modem?
Purchase an ethernet cable, either cat5 or cat6 long enough to run from the back of your PS3 to the Modem. If your modem has something already plugged into the ethernet, you need to unplug it and plug in the PS3. If you want to be able to use both without having to switch the plugs you need to purchase a router that you connect to the modem and then connect everything to the router.
What do i need to hook up my ps3 to my PC i have comcast internet service please be nice with your responses thanx?
You do not hook up the PS3 to your computer, but to the modem for the Comcast Internet Service. If you do not want to purchase a router Comcast will rent you one. The cable that leads to your computer from the modem is an Ethernet cable. You can connect a PS3 wireless to the internet if you have a wireless connection or have purchased a wireless router. The connection can also be wired with an ethernet cable from the PS3 to either the modem or a router which is then connected to the modem with another ethernet cable and the PC can also be plugged into the router. It is possible to switch the ethernet cables plugged into the modem back and forth for the PC and the PS3 and the router only saves you the trouble of doing this. Ebay has Belkin 50 foot Cat 6 ethernet cables for only $20 including S/H, however shorter lengths of 6, 7, 14, & 25 are also available. They are also stocked in most stores that sell computers and Game consoles.
How do you use a router with a dsl modem bc The router instructions say to plug the Ethernet cable into the computer and To do that you have to unplug the DSL modem's Ethernet cable from the computer?
Yes you take the internet access from the modem to the computer and move it to the router so the router can allow more access than just to the computer. In the back of the router there are spots for ethernet cables only one is a input and that comes from the modem and should be connected. There should also be 4 or more outputs and one then gets connected to the computer. You will need to buy more ethernet cables. Internet comes from your DSL modem and you need to disconnect your computer to allow the router to be installed. Your computer and anything else is then connected to the router

Can a modem either DSL Cable style also be a router and why?
a modem takes cable input and output goes to only 1 Ethernet cable. A router takes the 1 Ethernet cable and makes it so that you can hook up four or five Ethernet cables. a wireless router allows you to hook up 4 or 5 Ethernet cables and unlimited amounts of wireless receivers. If you only have 1 computer, you don't need a router. You only need 1 Ethernet cable. To put it in simple terms : Yes, many newer external modems have full router and firewall functionality built-in to a single device
