The router for a PS3 is an Optional item that you purchase to allow the internet to connect to more than one device and/or can also include the ability to connect with WiFi. It is not a part of the PS3 and is more a part of a home network allowing you to connect a PC, a PS3, laptops, and other devices to you internet service.

You can use a wireless router to set up a wireless on-line connection for the PlayStation 3. It is also possible to use a wired connection with an Ethernet cable attached to the back of your PS3. It depends on what type of connection you plan on making to the PS3 whether you want a wireless or wired router. I purchased a wireless router even though my connection was going to be wired because I wanted the ability to have both available in case I purchased another product ( for example a notebook computer) that could only be wireless. What I actually did was keep the wireless router I had purchased instead of taking it back and exchanging it for a wired router for half the price once I decided I liked the wired connection better.
