just bought a wireless router wanna hook it up to my main computer i already have a cable modem if i install the wireless will i still be able to use the cable modem i only wanna use the wireless when i play ps3??????

Most wireless routers have an inbuilt cable modem? Whats the brand and model?

[Joey_21]

ok yeh i just ran it now its d-link im all good its working just gunna try running my ps3 now

[Joey_21]

because my interent connection is 100mbps and my wireless is 54mb will my net run at 54 or 100 mb or it will run at 54mb on wireless systems that what it means?

[VrWagz1]

probably a t 54 mbs id say, and its the speed of your connection to the net, 100mbs is insanly fast how much do you pay for that a month. 54mbs is even fast really for net access

now how do i set my ps3 up with this wireless

[VrWagz1]

Not sure i've got a wii, I would imagine you will have to go into the settings menu and turn the wireless on and it may need a few basic settings wich you should have there.

His internet is 100 MBPS, or 54 MBPS, that is his LAN speed, how fast the computer connects to the modem, or through to another computer on the same modem.
His interenet speed will not be affected by modem speeds, unless he has some futureristic internet.

now how do i set my ps3 up with this wireless

Would have a clue, have never config a PS3 for wireless.

Your wireless internet speed will be limited by the router. I've got a wireless netgear router that has 4 Ethernet ports that support 1 gig networking, so speeds of 1 gig can be acheived if its hardwired in, but the wireless only allows speeds upto 54mbps.

Wireless is getting faster but i the max ive seen atm is 108mbps

Would there be info in the PS3 manual to set it up?

found out the problem my router was 2 far away from the ps3 why nothing was showing up which sucks but ohwel least i no it works how do i find my wep key

What antivirus software are you running?

Depending on what software, the wep key should be under wireless networking or the likes. Not that hard to find. Some software rotates the key every week or how frequently you want it to rotate, so you might want to include the PS3 as a protected device in the network so you don’t have to put the wep key in every time the software rotates it.

Hope that makes sense

[VrWagz1]

You should have setup the wep key when you setup the router, if you didnt, then chances are you havnt set it up and you dont have one. If you did set it up, you would have typed in your own wep key.
