Afternoon guys.

I picked up a PS3 yesterday - mostly for the blu-ray player.

However, it would be nice to get online and be able to use the web browser in my living room.

At the moment I have my PC upstairs and this is connected to the internet via a USB modem. The modem does not have any ethernet ports in it. Whenever I want to connect to Xbox Live I need to run a long ethernet cable upstairs and into the network card in my PC. This is fine, but its hardly ideal. Its just that I cannot justify paying over £50 for a wireless connector for my Xbox 360.

But the PS3 is wireless as standard and I would like to make use of this.

I know I will need a router, but will I also need a new modem? Or should I just get a modem/router combo and do away with my current ADSL BT USB modem? And is the signal any good on these wireless modem/routers?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated as always.

Many thanks

Just a WiFi router will do, set the modem up as a bridge connection, connect the ethernet out to the router in.
Then set the router to PPOe or OA or whatever is the protocol being used at ur isp and enter the log in details.
Thats about it, the PS3 will pick up the WiFi router and connect to the internet.
Enable UPNP on the router so that the PS3 can trigger ports for itself, just in case.

This is what I use at home with my PS3 btw. In case the PS3 fails to connect due to a DNS server error (it does this a lot) then u need to enter 3rd party DNS servers.... I'll post the server IP later, once I get back home.

what third party can I used to connect my psp3.
