1) Log-in to the Verizon FiOS router as the administrator.

Using a computer that is connected to the local network, direct your web browser to the router's default administrator log-on screen

The default User Name is admin and the Password is typically either password orpassword1(If not, reset your password using the Verizon Home Assistance Program they installed on your desktop).

This will bring you to the overview screen. Don't be overwhelmed by all of the information that is displayed. You do not need to be concerned with it to make the following changes.

2) Deactivate the routers Wi-Fi radio.

Click on the Wireless Settings icon in the banner menu, then click on Basic Security Settings from the vertical menu on the left-hand side of the page. This will display the Basic Security Settings dialog.

In the first section of the Basic Security Settings dialog, you have the choice of turning the wireless radio on or off. Click on the Off button and scroll to the bottom of the page and select Apply.

This will disable the router wireless ONLY. The Cat5 (Ethernet) will still work.

Note: If the FiOS technician installed the Home Assistance Program on your computer, use it to learn more if you are stuck.

Can I set up wireless internet on PS3 without a computer?

Yes you can if you have access to a wireless internet connection. The wireless connection or wired connection can be made if you have an internet connection and you can purchase a connection without a computer. However in general most locations (For example homes) without a computer do not have access to an internet connection. You will know if you have a wired connection because you are paying for it every month. For a wireless connection you may live close enough to a free wireless provider. Go to setting on your play station and at the bottom of the choices is one for network connections. After you click that try to set up an internet connection. The PS3 will search for wireless connections in the auto mode choice that will come up after the machine determines that you do not have a wired connection. Even if the search finds a wireless connection you may not be able to access the connection without a password, however if you can then you have set a up connection to wireless internet.

It all depends on how you define "wireless internet". If you are talking about 802.11 wireless for the systems in your home then yes, you need an internet connection of some sort for the wireless access point to connect to the internet. This could be cable, DSL, or even satellite (which is not technically a landline). However if you have one of the wireless broadband cards from Verizon, AT&T, or other providers then that would be all you need.
