ur wireless router should come with a set up disc run that and follow what it says...nothing needs to be plugged into ps3...just go to network settings or w/e and the rest is pretty easy

wirless routers are a pain, just to let you know. If your lucky it'll be simple, the router should come w/ a setup CD that will work. Then you run the network setup on the PS3 and it should find the network on its own.

The only problem iv had with my wireless router is that it has disconnected a few times. Which is a bit annoying when im playing with my mate online and im on resistance racking up kills.

Yeah, I found someone's connection in my house, and it was unprotected and I could jumo on it. Only problem was it was slow as hell because the connection was too weak. I might try and get closer to where it is with my PSP hahaha

when you get your router just remember when it ask if you what to set up security chose 128 WEP and write the number down, you will need to input that into the PS3 when it asks.

I think D-Links and Linksys routers are easiest to set up..

All you have to do is set up your router and you'll be all good to run the internet wirelessly. I'd advise you to just plug it into an Ethernet cable the old fasioned way. Wireless connects are kinda slow especially when downloading stuff from the PSN.
