Can i use a usb modem with my ps3 for an internet connection?

  • i want to get a virgin mobile broadband usb modem and i need to know if it will work with my ps3

  • Answer:

    No my good man, it will not. A USB modem doesn't contain your broadband information - your PC does. That means if you plug your USB modem into your PS3, the power light will come on, that's just about it. You need to ditch the USB modem and buy a wireless (or wired) router. Routers have built-in modems and are able to share the connection between hundreds of wireless devices (and 4 wired). These can be picked up very cheaply. Just plug in your username/password into your new router, set up the wireless connection, and connect your PS3 to the wireless. Just make sure that you get the correct type of router (ie cable or ADSL) Hope this helps.
