A PS3 has WiFi and you can put the router next to your modem. The only thing the back of a PS3 uses for the internet is for a wired connection with an ethernet cable to your router or modem instead of a WiFi connection

You plug you router into your cable or DSL modem with an ethernet cable. Then you either search for the WiFi signal from a Wireless router or connect an ethernet cable between the router and PS3 on all types of routers

Plug the ether cable into the router's in ethernet cable slot and the other end of the ethernet cable into the modem's out ethernet cable slot. Then try to make a internet connection from the settings menu of the PS3 network connection which will first search for a ethernet cable then look for a WiFi signal and hopefully yours will be the strongest. see related link to help with the connection

Can the ps3 since the comcast is wired internet do you have do you have to connect PS3 with the Ethernet cable to the comcast modem or you can get wirelees internet for the PS3?

You have to have a router to connect more than 1 item with Comcast Internet unless you also got the wireless router from Comcast. You can either go out and purchase a router either wireless, both, or Ethernet. I purchased a wireless router and then decided I liked the wired system better and purchased an Ethernet cable to hook up the PlayStation 3 because I saw that the router also had 4 Ethernet plugs in back. So you still need to purchase a router even though you have Internet access with Comcast.
