How to Hook Up a PS3 to D-Link

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) includes a built-in wireless adapter. This means you can easily connect the PS3 to wireless networks within range, without purchasing additional hardware. If you've configured your home network with a D-Link wireless router, you'll need to know the network name (SSID broadcast name), the type of security (WEP, WPA, WPA2) and the network password. It will only take a moment to configure.

Instructions

  Power on the PS3. Navigate to "Settings," then "Network Settings."

  Select "Internet Connection Settings." You are warned that you will be temporarily disconnected from the Internet, then click "Yes" to continue.

  Select your D-Link wireless network in the list of networks within range.

- 6
  Click "Save Settings," then "Test Connection." The PS3 will attempt to connect to the network to ensure you entered the settings correctly. It will only take a moment. Once tested, a confirmation dialog will appear. You are now successfully connected to the D-Link network.
