All the ads showing features for the PS3 state Online connectivity requires broadband internet service and network devices such as a DSL or cable modem. Most people who have this also require a router and an ethernet cable or a wireless router to allow connection of more than one device to there internet service. Once the PS3 is connected with an ethernet cable or you have a wireless router then you go to the PS3 main menu settings and then the Network setting then network connections.

Your internet connection must be WiFi or Ethernet the PS3 can not be connected to the internet with dial up or mobile phones and you can not use something in the USB port to connect to the internet. The PS3 can never be connected to the internet with something that plugs into the USB port because it is not part of the PS3 design features and capabilities

How go online PS3?

First you have a PS3 set up to a TV. Then you have an internet service. Then you purchase devices to allow the PS3 to connect to the internet like WiFi routers or Modems or an ethernet cable and a router or modem to connect it to. Then you go to the settings menu of the PS3 for internet connect and complete the set up for an internet connection. Without internet service and connection devices an online connection is not possible. The PS3 has WiFi which only means that it can connect to your WiFi internet service that you have set up. it does not mean you get an internet connection without having access to an internet service

No. The PS3 can only have a wired connection with an ethernet cable. The only other connection that is possible is WiFi. The PS3 can only connect to the internet with WiFi or ethernet cable no other type connection is possible. You can not use the HDMI or USB port to connect the PS3 to the internet.

What is the easiest way to connect your PS3 up to wireless internet?

First you need a wireless internet connection before you can connect the PS3 to wireless internet. You can not connect the PlayStation without already having internet service. If you have wireless internet service then you go to the PlayStation 3 settings to network connections. If you do not have a wireless internet, but have internet service you purchase a wireless Router and install it first before going to the PS3 setting for network connection. You can also connect a wired system running an ethernet cable from your router to the back of the PS3 and then going to the setting for network connection.

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.
