Smart TV + PS3

Jamsi

My Son has a PS3 in his bedroom but can't get online because I don't have those plugs (like BT vision use) to connect to wifi which is downstairs. I was wondering whether he would be able to get online on his PS3 for playing CoD if it was connected to a Smart TV with built in wifi?

The PS3 has built in wifi
so if you can connect the TV,the PS3 can connect too

So can it connect to the interent from upstairs with the lcd TV that he has now (Not smart tv) I thought you would have to connect it via ethernet cable as it is now or have those plugs?

no the PS3 has wifi
so if you have wifi downstairs,simply log in via the PS3s wifi settings
obviously thats dependent on signal quality,but you wont know till you try

Thank you so much for your help... I never knew PS3 had built in wifi. Have now got it connected up and that should stop my living room being turned into a youth club!! :j
