Wont connect to my wireless router . its threw quest, and i went to network settings and went threw the motions, however the ps3 wont detect it. what to do

This seems to be a wireless issue that you are having. In this case, ensure that your router/modem is working as it should be. Check the modem/router's login page and ensure its status is functioning with its intended speeds.

Place the PS3 close to the router and check that it is connecting with the router. If not, then plug a Ethernet cable and connect to the internet with that. If the PS3 connects, then the wireless module inside the PS3 is having a connection issue. If this is the case, contact a authorized PS3 dealer to replace the module.

I would recommend always using an Ethernet connection as it is always more secure and speeds are the fastest using this method.

Hope this helps.

Please rate my assistance. Thank you.

Let's try the simplest things first. Restart the PS3. Then try restarting your router (unplug/replug it in). Make sure all the cables are nice and snug where they should be in both your router and the PS3.

If going for a wired connection, confirm that the cable to and port/cable slot on your router are good (try another cable and cable slot). If going for a wireless connection, confirm that other devices can access your router wirelessly.

Still having trouble? Check your internet settings on the PS3. Navigate to XMB > Settings > Network Settings > Internet Connection Settings. Run through it, selecting Automatic or Auto-Detect whenever possible. If that didn't work try setting it up manually. Here's a guide explaining each option of the manual set up process.

Hope this helps!

Hello mrdjfred
Turn on you PS3 and from the home menu select Network settings , then select internet connections settings. Now select Wireless then Scan.
your PS3 will look for an access points and list them. Just select your routers SSID and password(if any)

First you will need to check the wireless settings of the router.
What settings do you need to check ?
SSID ( network name )
wireless channel
wireless security type
If secured then network key or password.
To check these settings you will need to open the router set up page. This is the page where you will fin all the settings of the router.
Once you get all the settings of the router, you can try to connect to the wireless network on your PS3.
You will need to go to network settings on PS3. Go to Internet connection settings , wireless connection.
There you will find the option to connect to the network.
Click here for step by step instructions

Check your wireless network name in your computer if it is wireless enabled.
Then go to your PS3. Go into the network settings and check if the wireless connection is detected.
When you check the network settings, make sure that ip and dns settings are set to automatic.
After that you would need to open some ports on the comp for your PS3 so that you can play online.
Also let us know the make and model no of your router so that we could tell how to open the ports on the router GUI.
Very first thing your PS3 should detect the wireless connection on it.

stupid question : is Wifi turned on ?
Go to your administration environment of your router ( typically : http://192.168.1.1 ) and check the config of the wireless settings

On the back or side of your router their is a button that resets it to the original factory settings. Hold that button down for 5 or more seconds then release it.

Everything should be back to normal, also you will have to reconfigure that router

On the bottom of the router the user name as password might be------> user= Admin Pass=password

maybe you can set youre Wifi on port 11 thats a standard and you will be able to conect on youre network.
