I'm not sure that the Hughes Net works for PS3. It is for people who can't get DSL and Cable which is what the PS3 requires for the internet see the link for Hughes net understanding your service

The information below was copied from related link and it is clear that any multiplayer PS3 game would not play well with a delay, let alone the half second delay they forecast. The ethernet cable would go into a router connected to the modem for Hughesnet. It might still be possible to connect the PS3 and while you could not use it for game playing you might still be able to get software updates and PlayStation Store Add ons and Demos.

Twitch Games. Time-sensitive applications that require fractions-of-a-second user inputs (such as multi-player "twitch" games or real-time equities trading) are not recommended with HughesNet® due to latency issues. Latency refers to the amount of time it takes a packet of data to travel across a network. With satellite service, that data must travel up to the satellite and back (about 45,000 miles). This round trip adds about a half-second delay to the total time your computer takes to communicate with a Website or host server.

Would it work if you connected an Ethernet cable to a modem and then to a ps3 to play on line?

If for instance you have a PC connected to the internet with an ethernet cable at a cable modem you can unplug the ethernet cable to the PC at the modem and Plug in a ethernet cable from the PS3 to the modem and a connection to the internet is possible. If the PC and PS3 are close enough you can just unplug the PC ethernet cable at the PC and move it over to the PS3. The first time you do this you need to go to the PS3 network setting and auto set the network settings. When you are done using the PlayStation 3 you just unplug the ethernet cable for the PS3 from the modem and plug the PC cable back into the modem for the PC to go back online or switch the cable back if it was close enough. When you get tired of doing this just purchase a router and plug the PS3 and PC into the router and plug the router into the modem.


Can you connect your PS3 Ethernet cable to a phone jack?

No, while an ethernet cable plug looks like a phone jack cable plug it is actually larger. The PS3 can not be connected to the internet with dial up internet service and an ethernet cable is meant to be connected to a modem or router.


What cable do you need for online on a PS3?

Either a Cat 5 or Cat 6 ethernet cable will fit the PS3 ethernet outlet. You must also have something to plug the cable into that is connected to the internet, for instance a router or modem.
