Adding a PS3 to my home network
 
Hi all
Just wondering what i need to buy and how to set up adding my sons PS3 to my current PC wireless network.

I have a Netgear DG 834 wirless Router supplied by VM, with a Belkin G wireless card, already working on with my PC, It can be connected by ethernet but i don't want wires trailing through to his room. Plus I want the added bonus of when we are in bed, he can't sneak it on at 4 in the morning hahahaha.

What I need to know is what are the types of wireless adpater I need for the PS3 and how to configure it so the PS3 can log on for online gaming.

I'm a complete noob when it comes to the wireless side of things.
Regards
Smee

You don't need to buy anything - the PS3 has wireless connectivity built-in :)

Right my sons ps3 does find my wireless network quite easily, but won't connect to is for some reason.

I am putting in the correct WPA Key and the router and ps3 pick it up as WPA2-PSK security enabled.

It will connect 1st time automatic with an ethernet cable, but that for some reason knocks my PC wireless connection off :( so can't use both at the same time.

Can't figure out why, when it comes to the test wireless connection it fails every time.

Make sure the firmware is uptodate on the ps3.
