Best Answer

Yes you can connect the PS3. All the ads showing features for the PS3 state Online connectivity requires broadband internet service and network devices such as a DSL or cable modem. Most people who have this also require a router and an ethernet cable or a wireless router to allow connection of more than one device to there internet service. Once the PS3 is connected with an ethernet cable or you have a wireless router then you go to the PS3 main menu settings and then the Network setting then network connections. For WiFi you use the Auto setting to let the system know you are not using the ethernet cable, then it will start searching for the strongest signal and you click on yours, you add your password (connection seems more stable with password and is lost less often) and continue to allow the system to work.
