To do this, all you need is a PS3 and a PC connected to a wireless router; the rest is very simple.
Check to make sure your PC's wireless router is connected. To check this, try accessing the internet wirelessly from your computer.
Turn the PS3 on and click the left arrow key until "Settings" is highlighted. Scroll through the list of options and select "Network Settings."
Select "Internet Connection Settings," followed by the "Easy" option, from the Network Settings menu.
Choose "Wireless" from the next list of options. This will lead you to a screen that says "Scan," "Enter Manually" and "Automatic." Choose "Scan" from this list of options.
Scroll through the list of network connections that appear. Each connection will have a different name. Your connection will be labeled by the name that you gave your personal wireless network when you installed it. In addition, since your own network will be the closest one to you, it will have the strongest signal strength. Click on your wireless network and enter your password if you have one; if not, it will just connect directly.
