How do I conect to the internet to play games

Below are instructions for connecting the PS3 to a wireless network (Wi-Fi) using the [Easy] setting. For other network connection options, see How to connect the PS3 to the Internet.

Text walkthrough

Power-cycle ALL network equipment.

Turn off (unplug) all of your network equipment, including any wireless access points, routers, Voice Over IP (VOIP) modems, and broadband modems for two (2) full minutes. See How to power cycle PlayStation 3 network devices for more details.


Make sure that all settings for the access point have been completed.

Check that there is an access point connected to a network with Internet service near the PlayStation 3. Settings for the access point are typically set using a PC. For details, contact the person who set up or maintains the access point.


Confirm that an Ethernet cable is not connect to the PlayStation 3. If the Ethernet cable is plugged in, the PlayStation 3 will automatically attempt to connect via the wired connection.


On the XMB home menu, go to (Settings) > (Network Settings) and press the button.


Then go to (Internet Connection) and select [Enabled].


Then scroll down to (Internet Connection Settings) and press the button.


Select [Yes] when a confirmation screen is displayed stating that you will be disconnected from the Internet.


Select [Easy] and press the button.


When prompted for which type of connection method, select [Wireless] and press the button.


Under WLAN Settings, select [Scan] and press the button.

If you own a wireless access point that supports AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System), then you must select [Automatic]. These wireless access points are commonly made by Buffalo, Inc. AOSS will automatically configure the necessary settings. Follow the on screen prompts to complete the setup.


You will see a list of access points within range of the PlayStation 3. From the list, pick your SSID and press the button.

If you do not know which SSID you should use or if an SSID is not displayed, contact the person who set up or maintains the access point for assistance.


On the next screen, confirm the SSID then press the right direction button to continue. If you press the button, you will edit the SSID.


Select the security setting that you want to use and press the button.


The types of security settings vary depending on the access point. Contact the person who set up or maintains the access point for information on which setting to select.


If you selected a Security Setting, enter your security key.

Press the [Start] button to exit the onscreen keyboard.

Press right on the directional pad to proceed to the next screen.


The encryption key is displayed as a series of eight [*] no matter how long the key may be. If you do not know the encryption key, contact the person who set up or maintains the access point for assistance.


Once you have entered all the information, a list of settings will be displayed.

Press the button to save these settings.


Depending on the network environment, additional settings for PPPoE, proxy server, or IP address may be required. For details on these settings, refer to the information from your Internet service provider or the instructions supplied with the network device.


Press the button to test the connection.


When the test is complete (usually less than a minute), it will display the results ("Succeeded" or "Failed").

If you have successfully connected to your network, congratulations, you have completed the network setup process

Just bought my kids a ps3 but we cannot figure out how to connect it to the internet?

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!
