Can someone out there help! I have just purchased a PS3 and want to connect to the internet via wireless modem but I dont have PC. Is there a Modem/Router that I can by so connect to broadband without a PC. I was looking at a Belkin. I am in Australia for all concerned.

I think it's possible to just plug in a new router and it would configure itself, but the connection wouldn't be safe since everything would be open in its default setting. It's probably best to configure it with a computer. Plus, there might be other issues that may come up and you wouldn't be able to check your settings. But why would you have broadband without a computer?

I don't know why you would have internet without a computer but as for the settings couldn't he just change them on the PS3 with its web browser?

Oh right, yes you can. I totally forgot you can wire it to the PS3.

Thanks for all your help guys. As for having a computer at home I work 8-10 hours a day at work on one so the last thing I want to do is sit on one when I get home and as I work on a hi end G5 which I cant afford myself (but would love to have one at home) and can get cheap broadband I thought I would just use the PS3.
