How to Hook-Up a PS3 to a Verizon MiFi 2200 2B03

The Verizon MiFi 2200 is a mobile hotspot that connects your computer and five additional wireless devices to the Verizon broadband service for high-speed Internet browsing. It also includes support for a wireless connection with a PlayStation 3(PS3). The MiFi must be configured for Wi-Fi mode prior to connecting it to the PS3 because the MiFi creates a network that is detectable by wireless devices while powered on. Once configured, the PS3 displays the MiFi network in its network list.
