How Do I Plug in My WiFi on My PS3?

The PlayStation3 built-in Wi-Fi adapter can be used to connect to your home Wi-Fi network. Once you've established a connection with your Wi-Fi network, you will be able to connect to a media server via your PC or connect to the PlayStation Network. A Media Server connection allows you to stream media (including audio, video and photos) to the PS3. The PlayStation Network is used to play supported multiplayer games online and offers other services including Netflix and game demos.
