WEP Problem via Wireless Connection
Trying to set up my wireless internet connection. My 2wire router uses a 10 digit WEP. I am allowed to enter all 10 digits in the PS3, but after checking Okay, it only shows 8 digits??? I'd appreciate any help. I was able to remove the encryption on my router, and did establish connection,but don't feel safe doing it this way. Any suggestions? or is there a fix???

I have the same problem with the digits and I couldn't figure out how to fix it.
used a different network with only 8 digits and it was ok it worked.
My problem is I am out of range, so I bought a linksys range extender got it working but I keep losing the connection any suggestion? Is there a better range extender that I can use?

I updated my Router from a 2wire 1800 to a 2Wire 2701HG... This gave me more encryption choices.. I'm now pretty safely connected, but still bugged about the PS3 not allowing me to enter more than 8 digits????

When i entered my 16 digit wep key it only showed 8 and i pressed okay and it accepted it and when i check on my ps3 it says protected so i guess it only shows eight for some odd reason!!!

you probably know this already but I typed in the website http://home and went to wireless advanced setting and made up my own 5 digit code with letters and when I typed it into the PS3 it came up as 8 digit encryption code but it ended up working in the end and now i enjoy wifi

I'm gonn assume you have 2WIRE router. go to your systems webpage http://home and click on home network and then click on wireless settings and make up your own WEP code it has to be five letters or 13 numbers i used letters and then plug that into your PS3 when it asks you for a wep code. I hope that helps?

I've been playing around with my PS3 for the past few days with a 2wire router and from just changing the WEP password everything was up and running in seconds, so thanks a lot for the info it saved me smashing up my router and anything else in sight!
