MidnightDragon Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) I can't connect to the Internet on my PS3. It just tries to log on forever. Having no issues on any other devices. I can't get Ethernet in my room yet and I won't be able to for a couple months, but would like to try and fix this now. Also, having a long Ethernet cable from the living room to my room isn't feasible. I have a super slim if that matters. Does anyone have any tips to possibly help me out?

HuntingFever Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) A lot of people have had this problem recently for some reason but the fix seems to be to login to the official site and generate a new device password then enter that as your PSN login ?. If that doesn't fix the problem, buy some Ethernet Plugs since then you will only need 2 very short Ethernet cables to connect your PS3 to your Router .

What's your WiFi connection percentage shown on PS3? PS3 WiFi is garbage, could be the main reason. In case you can't use a direct ethernet cable to ps3, you could try a WiFi extensor (poor solution), bring a cable to an intermediate point 2nd router between the main router and your ps3 (best solution i'd say), or using a powerline adapter to transmit your internet through the electrical outlets (worked decently for me before I finally bought a 30m ethernet cable, however my model was limited at 35mbps or so, should be enough for ps3).)

The "generate a new device password then enter that as your PSN login" advice above is solid. Try that first. As far as ethernet cables, pick up an affordable one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Powerline-Computer-Network-Adapters/ They should all outperform anything except higher end routers.

I've used those for years now and the modern ones are pretty good . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I got it working again, but will bookmark for future reference. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xItsLesterx Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Glad you fixed it. For future reference, if you're not able to connect to internet, that's your WiFi or internet service provider. If it's to PSN, it's because you have enabled the 2-step notification and you can only log in by generating a "new device password" on your PSN account. You can always just disable the 2-step feature and you can use your normal password on PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

den-69 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I had the same problem a year back or so and the password generation thingy fixed it so +1 to that method for others who are struggling even with a solid internet connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philipppowitsch Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 If its help for someone who is using Wifi. I am using sometimes Powerline Communication (powerLAN, dlan) from devolo and its very stable, maybe i had 1-2 diconnects for about 5-10 minutes in the last half year. It works fine by me with 90-100Mbits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 It happened again several times, but found out there was an external cause. I removed it and haven't had another problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
