Error 8001000b wont allow me to connect to the playstation 3 network anymore. everytime i turn the ps3 on it says error 800100b on the screen then i go to the network settings to try and connect and the little run time clock in the upper right hand corner is all that shows and doesnt do anything else.

Try resetting your wireless router by unplugging it for 30 seconds. Restart your PS3. After you've logged on, go to the network and setting menu on your PS3. Then try setup like before.

Go to"Settings," then "System Settings," and select "System Information."

Once there, write down your PS3's MAC address. Open up your router's console, which is usually done by opening it's gateway by typing the number into your browser (different for every router). Open "MAC Filters" and enter the PS3 MAC Address into the field that says "allowed" or "exceptions" or something along those lines.

The PSN is down today (3-9-20011) for scheduled Maintenance. It wont be back up until 10pm EST, which is right now on my clock, actually. Try again in about 5 minutes and see if that helps.

I struggled setting up the wireless internet connection on my PS3. It seemed that no matter what I did, I kept getting the error message 8001000B. After reading some help materials on this website, I determined that I needed to add to my router list of allowable MAC addresses the PS3 MAC address. Once I did this, the setup was as easy as shown on the manual.

Steps:

1. Locate the PS3 MAC address number: Settings - System Settings - System Information
2. Open the software controlling the rounter. This is usually done my typing the router's IP address on your browser. ie http://192.168.0.1
3. Locate a tab for FILTERS
4. Slelect MAC filters.
5. Enter the PS3 MAC address from previous step as an allowable MAC address.
6. Save entry. At this point rounter will reset itself.
7. Go back and set up the wireless connection on PS3. Select all settings automatic or EASY as the case maybe.

After looking over the internet for answers I found a fix for the 8001000A and when the Playstation 3 (with firmware version 2.76) is hooked to a wireless router (in my case a Netgear WNR834B v2). Below are the steps I took.

1. Reset your router to factory defaults.
2. Go to Select Network Settings under Settings in the home menu.
3. Select Easy then Wireless.
4. Then select Enter Manually. Then enter in your SSID of your router. Then rest of the setting should be set to Automatic.
5. However DO NOT TEST CONNECTION. Just save and turn off the playstation3.
6. Then turn off Playstation 3 from the back of the drive.
7. Unplug the power cord and wait 30 seconds.
8. Plug the power cord in and turn on the Playstation 3 switch.
9. Wait 5 seconds and turn on the Playstation 3 and it will work. You can even test your connection and it will work.

However if you want your security settings on the router then once the router settings are back then repeat steps 2 through 9. Hope this works for all. I do not think replacing the unit is the answer. Any question just let me know.

The 8001000B error code happens when trying to establish a wireless connection. Move your wireless router closer to your PS3 so it can get a stronger signal

You're on the right track, bro! You definitely need a router. There are really no other ways around it. I would suggest "linksys/cisco", and I'll tell you why. First, It's probably the best cheap router you're going to find. Second, their tech support is outstanding! Thirdly, upon set-up, you'll log into their site & they'll walk you through it all.
Hope this was helpful! Please, don't forget to give a rating! Thanks

It is also important to go through the connection settings to make sure everything is correct:

your wireless may be glitched and may need to be replaced or you need to reformat your ps3 which will return it to factory settings
