Try power cycling the router, jay. That would clear any settings problems or errors that may be there and may be stopping you signing in.

Thanks Rob!

Who'd have thought it'd be that simple?!

I'd reset the router 3 or 4 times but turning it off at the mains seems to have done the trick!

Welok, that error is possibly due to the MAC Address not being correct or allowed through. If you haven't yet, add your PS3's MAC Address to the "allowed" list on the router. You may also want to make sure if you have the wireless encryption key correct if you are using that.

Hi. I am trying to connect to the internet with my PS3. I have a wireless card that I use with my laptop. Can I use that with my PS3, and if not, can I use my computer to connect to the internet and then connect my PS3 to my computer?

You can go at it with the computer acting as the PS3's gateway. You would have to turn on internet connection sharing on the laptop then connect it to the PS3 using ethernet cable (the ps3 would not be able to pick up the card). Then, set up the PS3 for a wired connection.

Doublecheck to make sure you have the key in the PS3 correctly- sounds like there is a mistake there some place. I still recommend geting as much info out of the router settings as you can and put those in the PS3 manually instead of relying on automatic.

I meant make absolutely sure you have the WPA key in exactly as you have in the router- the key info exchange timing out makes me wonder if there is a mistake in your PS3's settings for that.

As for the rest, if your router allows it definitely set up a reserved IP address for the PS3 and add that to the settings as well as entering the router's IP address, the subnet mask and the DNS server addresses.

That should help- it would allow other devices to connect via the router.

The other suggestions I put above should help as well. You may also want to look into the port forwarding- the ports needed are listed in the pinned thread at the top of this section along with a link to port forward, a site that lists the how-to for almost every router in existence.

Hi Guys,
i went away for the bank holiday weekend and took my PS3 with me on my return today i have plugged it in and cant get online, i just get a message saying it is a DNS error and a code of 80710102, does anybody know what this is?
my internet is working fine and i am also able to use the browser on the PS3 just unable to play games online or sign in on my psn account. i have tried deleting all my network settings and to enter them again but im having the same issues, on the connection test it retrieves the IP address but then fails with the log in after that. any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

ps- i have a netgear and my ISP is Sky.

Hey Lyndon, I need some help
Ok so here's the deal. I have had PSN for many months now and no problems have occured. but last sunday I was trying to sign in and it told me to go to Network Settings and do that stuff so i retyped everything (which i usually do when that happens) and after i try to connect it says somthing like Could connect to access point and establish connection ( or something sorry i forget it). Please check your WLAN settings. So now every time i try to retype everything It doesn't work. I know the SSID is Fine ,it's just the WPA is not working for me,and it's so frustrating because it was working a week ago.

Please help.
Thank you
Smartdude

Default Re: playstation 3 wireless connection setup

Hey guys,

Yeah, im looking for help setting up my ps3 (40GB ) wireless. At the moment i have been using it as wired because the ethernet cable reaches the 'Speedtouch' internet thingo we have. But I can only ever use it when no-one wants to go on the internet because it disconnects the internet for the computers wired around the house.

Ive been trying to get wireless but whenever i finish the setup for the wireless, once ive scanned and found my wireless internet thingo (signal 100%) and entered my WAP-PSK key code (which im confident is right) it goes to the connection test and it always times out trying to obtain ip address and key information im wondering if anyone could help out.

I have a Netgear Prosafe 802.11g Wireless Firewall/Print Server MODEL - FWG114P - (Broadband internet)

We have internet wired around the house with a computer in the office, with the ps3 in the next room. We have wireless but we dont use it for computers, we use it for laptop which seems to work fine.


Please Help

Matt.

Sounds like you may not have your pass key right in the PS3's settings, do a doublecheck of that. Also, you may want to add the PS3's MAC Address into the router's list of allowed devices.

Pete, you may have a typo in your encryption key on the PS3's settings, you'll want to doublecheck this. Also, you'll find the correct DNS server addresses in the router itself.

In the router settings you should find the DNS server addresses on a summary or connection page. Look for DNS1 and DNS 2.

I have checked in the hubs settings and have found some extra numbers including a primary dns number but some are not there and even after i put in the vital ones it still failed at the key echange step at the start of the test. It said that it timed out.

Hi Lyndon, i have a PS3 but can't connect to the internet, it keeps obtaining my IP address ok, but it won't pick up my internet conection. DNS 80710102 error. I'm doing it wirelessly through a Belkin router (802.11g). I have triple checked my WAP key. I have put in my IP DNS settings and also let it do it automatically. I have read many threads on many forums and have tried all the ideas others have given. My PS3 has 100% signal strength. It connected once but then never again. I'm running out of ideas, any help would be good thanks, getting bord of playing COD4 by myself.

Ok question.

Could you set up an add hoc wireless network with a laptop and contect PS3's through it for system link? I am in Iraq right now and the interent isnt high speed enough for us to use that. And i have enough routers at home and would rather not buy more. Does any one know if it is possible to do this?
