The PlayStation 3 operates on 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz networks and won't be able to find your network if your router is set to operate in 5GHz only mode. If you are having issues connecting, check with your router's documentation to verify you are not using it in 5GHz only mode.
There are just wireless devices that are not set or not compatible to work with a band Ghz network. The wireless capability might not be up to date or limited to work with a 2.4 Ghz network only. In your case, you might want to check with Sony if your PS3 can be updated to work with a 5 GHz network. Oct 01, 2011 · PS3 wont connect to wifi?
