How to Hook Up Netgear on a PS3

Playing a PlayStation 3 online requires you to connect your router to a wireless router. If you have not previously set up your PS3 to connect to your Netgear router, you must follow the installation steps on your PlayStation 3. Setting up the network connection between your PS3 and Netgear router allows you to connect to the PlayStation Network. This enables you to connect to other players and online games.
