i have scanned through and found my wireless router, i have then entered my password and it has started to configure, but it does not connect, it says 'a connection to the access point could not be established. check the security settings for the wireless LAN' it then gives me a code '8013013E'

Hi, i had the same problem but it was fixed by simply re directing my ISP's DNS settings away from Sony's. manually change your DNS settings to the ones below and it should work fine !

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

i just spent 2 hours reading these solutions and trying all of them with no success then i decided to just unplugging the ps3 for 1 minute and turning the switch it has in back of the ps3 off and waiting another minute and when i turned ps3 on. boom signed right in. give that a try and hopefully you will have as much success as me

I had the same problem, then out of the blue it started to work. It worked for 3 months, now it is not working again. I never changed anything at all. I have the ps3 and the xbox 360 same IDNS error on both. I had the ps3 first so I thought it was the ps3. It is something to do with the computer.
