Need advice guys. My lads got a new PS3 off Santa for xmas. They now want to play on line with their mates. During the internet access set up and opening the on screen instructions the PS3 looks for a WPA or a WEP key code. Where do I locate this code ? Is it greater than 10 digits and does it contain letters ? Is it etched on the router I have ? Was with eircom but now pay my bills through vodafone office but still using the eircom router. Do I need to contact the provider to get this code ? Currently using wire free for internet access in the house.
Basic knowledge with computers so patience and simple instructions would be appricated.
Cheers

As stated before in the other thread, normally the code is on the sticker on the base of the router.

Do you know how to log into your router?


Open your internet browser

type in http://192.168.1.254

Enter your username and password (defauly username is eircom@eircom.net password is broadband1 if this is so change these asap!)

On left hand side click Wireless

What the PS3 is asking for the the Pre Shared Key, if there is somethign in this field note it down then when the PS3 asks type this into it. These passwords are case sensitive, so if it a capital A then type in A not a.

if it is empty then

Give your wireless a name. (Hint: Do not use your address, phone number or real name)

Set Privacy to: WPA-PSK

Set your Pre Shared Key to a long password. Letters, Number and Symbols are best. Do not use one word

Save changes then restart router if asked to.
