Wi-fi on PS3

Kevin2006

Just a quick question regarding getting the ps3 online. I believe the ps3 has wi-fi built in, so it will be able to connect to a wireless router yea? Also, my pc where the router is, is at the other side of my house were the ps3 will be - will the ps3 be able to pick up the broadband from such a distance?
Cheers

I've the same thing with my 360 being on the opposite side of the house. You shouldn't have any real trouble at all. And is it all PS3's that have wifi or just the premium package (I can't remember).

It's only the premium model that had Wi-Fi built in.
My Wii is upstairs in my room(where my PC is) and it reaches my router which is downstairs on the opposite side of the house.With no problems.
I would say the PS3 will do it just the same, unless you know your house is massive in comparison to mine.:D

I wouldn't worry about it to be honest.

I did not say this. You can see my early entry, it does not say these things. Why would you believe that you would trick people? I do not want to hear from you, reptile

Well, only the premium is going to be on sale in Ireland in March so you should be good to go!

Anyone know what broadband speed you need to be able to use Playstation network. I'm thinking my Eircom 2MB might be too slow but does anyone know??

no id say even 512mb-1mb will do grand..its the ping/latency that matters the most..id say you will be safe with your 2mb which is what i have as well..

Does anyone know what protocol the PS3 uses? 802.11b or g or what?

I have a 2meg connection and my Xbox Live runs fine so there should be no trouble at all.
