Another ps3 spec question?

Question

okay so im confused

does the ps3's wifi need an ethernet cable or is the wifi and ethernet cable two different forms of internet?

Answer 1

Those are just two different ways to setup your internet connection. Wi-fi is good, because you don't have to mess around with cables, but wired is faster, more reliable and secure. I'm using a wired connection.

Answer 2

the wi-fi is built in, so all you need is a wireless router.

the ethernet is the wired way of using the internet. wifi is for when you cant run a wire to the ps3, such as in another room.

Answer 3

2 different forms.

The eithernet wire plugs into your actual internet source should you not have a router.  If you have a router, you can just use wifi.  But usually the hard wire provides a faster connection.  

Answer 4

Wifi - Picks up your internet via a wireless router that would be connected to your Modem.

Ethernet - Physical cable that would connect your PS3 directly to your Modem
