How to connect your PlayStation3 to your BT Home Hub (Wi-Fi)

(Note: This guide was created using a PlayStation3 with firmware version 2.52.)

Make sure your Hub or router's wireless function is switched on. Make a note of the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless key. 

 How do I find the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless key for my BT Home Hub or router?

1. From the PS3 home screen select Network Settings from within the Settings section. 
   
   
   
   Ensure Internet Connection is enabled (if not, select Internet Connection and toggle from disabled to enabled).
2. Select Internet Connection Settings. 
   
   
3. Select Yes to accept the warning about the system being disconnected.
   
   
4. Select Custom.
   
   
5. Select Wireless.
   
   
6. Ensure your PS3 is within range of your Hub or router and select Scan.
   
   
7. You'll see a list of Hubs and routers within range of your PS3. Highlight your Hub or router and select.

9. Highlight the relevant security type (if any) in use by the Hub or router and select.
