How do I set up my PS3 to the internet wirelessly

Any of the two will work it all depends on preference. If the modem or router is too far from the console then you would most likely want to go wireless. Here are instructions how to do each:
WIRELESS (WIFI):
Step 1: Turn on the PS3
Step 2: Once on main menu go to settings and under settings select "Network Settings"
Step 3: Select "Internet connection settings" if prompted that you will be disconnected from the internet select "Yes".
Step4: Select "Easy" on types of installation.
Step 5: Select "Wireless" to choose what kind of internet connection you want.
Step 6: Select "Scan" to search for internet access points.
Step 7: Select your home connection when the screen comes up with all the found access points. If your home Internet access point requires a password enter the password when prompted and save your settings.
Step 8: Test the connection to check if you configured your settings right if successful you are good to go. If not go back and check your connection settings for your home internet access point. You are now connected to the internet!
HARDLINE (Wired): Must connect ethernet cable to PS3 before turning it on!
Goes like this: Arrows are the cable (===>)
Internet Line ===>Router ===>PS3
Step 1: Turn on the PS3
Step 2: Once on main menu go to settings and under settings select "Network Settings"
Step 3: Go to "Internet Connection" and select it to Enable it.
Step 4: Select "Internet Connection Settings"
Step 5: Select "Internet connection settings" if prompted that you will be disconnected from the internet select "Yes".
Step 6: Select "Easy" on types of installation.
Step 7: PS3 will automatically check your connection network setup and set the settings for you.
Step 8: The settings will appear and press x to save the settings.
Step 9: Test your connection if it was successful you will see succeeded nest to "Obtain IPAddress" and "Internet Connection" you are now connected to the internet!

you can set your playstation 3 online by two ways, 1- by a wired connection, and 2- Wireless,

1-Wired Connection: Plug an ethernet cable from your highspeed modem to the back ethernet input on your ps3 system, and follow on your ps3: Network Connection > Internet Connection Settings > Easy > Wired Connection. and follow steps
2- Wireless Connection: You must have a Router connecting ethernet cable from your intenet modem to the router, and follow on your ps3: Network Connection > Internet Connection Settings > Easy > Wireless Connection and follow steps,

hope this helped you on setting up your ps3 connection :)

Just configure the wireless setting in the PS3 with the wireless router's settings Eg. the wireless router's SSID and encryption etc.
If you don't remember the wireless router's settings then open IE browser and enter the router's IP configuration address and go to the wireless settings.
Use these settings and go into the PS3 wireless configuration and enter the router's wireless settings.
The PS3 will now connect to the wireless router.

if you setup your wireless in adhoc mode like useing the pc wirless it wont work because ps3 doesnt see adhoc wireless.

and for the ethernet connection is the pc setup right. you have to enable internet sharing on the accuall interface that has internet..
If local area connection 1 is connected to internet and local area connection 2 is plugged into ps3 then under local area connection 1 settings you have to set share this connection and in the drop down menu select local area connection 2. other than that you need to buy a router.

THERE 2 MANY WAYS YOU CAN CONNECT THE PS3 TO INTERNET:

1) WIRED CONNECTION
2) WIRELESS CONNECTION

1) WIRED CONNECTION

JUST CONNECT THE ADSL WIRE TO THE PS3. GO TO NETWORK SETTINGS AND CREATE A CONNECTION. THEN TEST CONNECTION.

2) WIRELESS CONNECTION ( THE BEST WAY TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET)

IF YOU HAVE A WIRELESS ROUTER YOU CAN CONNECT YOUR PS3 TO THE INTERNET. GO TO NETWORK SETTINGS AND CREATE A CONNECTION. THEN TEST CONNECTION.

i would suggest logging on to your home pc, checking the wireless settings then re-entering them into the PS3 internet settings, this happened to a familys PS3, but this solved it

you can go wireless, but personally wired is better. what router do you have? switch everything off, plug a ethernet cable from one of your ports on router to ps3 then then switch it all on. on ps3 go to settings - network settings - internet connection settings - then select easy - then whether you wanna do it wireless or wired (up to you) then let it do its thing, once its found all your settings you can test the connection.
Have you set up an account on your ps3 yet?

go to network setting and set it to wireless and if you dont have any wep on your wifi, set it on scan .. your unit should have wireless acess

your ps3 should have onboard wireless check your settings
