Ive been trying to set up my PS3 wireless for a while. I already have a working router and its working for my wireless laptop. When i go to set up my PS3 i go into it to set it up and i get through the whole thing and at the end the IP adress and the other one both go "succeeded" but then it tells me i need to get a system update (2.01) and i go into that and it rests on 0% for about 10min then just quits out and says error 80710723 something about the wireless connection failing. If there might be something specific im doing wrong plz tell me, and i will need u to elaborate as i have no idea with technology. Help much appreciated!

It may be a bad wireless signal or something may be wrong with your PS3, also r u on DSL or broadband? Try connecting using ethernet and see if it works.

what you should do first (since its the WIRELESS connection that's having trouble) is hook up your PS3 to your router with the ethernet cable that came with it, so you have a WIRED connection. once that's done, you should be able to update that to the latest software version (2.01) and then check all your network settings. you should have a nice and smooth connection from now on. if that doesn't work, i tried my best, and good luck.

Connect to the internet with a wired connection first and update your system, if that doesn't fix it you might have a weak signal, and the only way to fix that is get the router closer to the PS3.
