My PS3 skips a step for a wireless connection?

May be...

I can't get my PS3 to switch to wireless connection. i have a PS3 that should have WIFI. It just won't let me go to wireless connection instead of wired. I go to internet connection settings like everyone says but when i set it up it doesn't give me the option of wired or wireless, it skips me right to 'Easy' or 'Custom'. When i choose easy it just tells me an ethernet cable is unplugged. When i choose custom i set everything up and at the end it just says "Connect an ethernet cable". I am really frustrated and really want to get online. Please tell me how to get it there and i have already tried removing the discs



I have searched everywhere there are no answers to this problem. I AM GOING INSANE!!



PS: i have tried to plug in the ethernet cable but they don't make 500 foot ethernet cables that go thru walls so that is out of the question.

Check what model you have, if you have a 20 gig model, then you can't do it. That model is the only one that doesn't have wi-fi.

dude, if your wireless router is 500 ft away.. you won't get any signal. it should be at the most 5 meters away. that's why you can't get the wireless option because your PS3 cannot detect the wireless signal at all. It's too far away.

Do you realize how far 500 feet is?
