Hi. Though you may already have the info you need, these methods might have the best option for you. 1. Usb modems alone are not strong enough to give you the speedy network you need. You need a router for your usb modem. But not just any kind of router, a 3g wireless router in which carries a usb slot for your modem. With that you can: (a) connect directly from your router to your console using a network cable. The result however depends on the capacity and suitability of your router.
(b) Connect wirelessly between your router and console which must have a wireless network adaptor connected to it (ps3 consoles don't need network adaptors because they're already WLAN enabled), but if it doesn't then connect from your console to a laptop (WLAN enabled) with a network cable and then create a wireless network bridge between your laptop and router. Your recommended system should be either vista or 7. I very much prefer this option.
(c) Connect your console to a regular dsl broadband modem and from that to a regular router which does not have to be 3g or wireless.
Remember that when choosing a router, it's best that you go for that which is suitable for online gaming. Enjoy the homework.

On point!!!!!!

Mart d dart: On point!!!!!!

On point ke. Hooking up your console to a wireless network is no biggie, the real constraint in gaming online is finding a reliable ISP. I have found that MTN's 3G where I live in Abuja has a rather high latency (>200ms)which is unsuitable for FPS. Unless I'm mistaken, I doubt that people living outside of big cities will have any success with playing online in this country.

@BAWSS I said ''on point'' because he took his time to answer a question satisfactorily and not put butter around the toast like you just did...i'm in Abuja too and i'm presently looking for a good modem/whatever you guys call it...which do you suggest

Junior360’s post explained how to connect a PS3 console to a wireless network, it did nothing to answer the OP’s question highlighted below.

In other words he has answered satisfactorily a question that was not even asked - #Offpoint

On a serious note though, I share the OP’s concern so I will re-echo the question; What ISP are online gamers using in Nigeria? On another thread I am made to understand that the famed Swift Network in Lagos is under-performing. What network are Lagosians using then? I am not aware of any good network/company that allows for online play in Abuja even though some people tell me that there are online gamers here.

I was told my some guy i met that lagosians use SWIFT..and that it does wonders for them...but personally i don't think the stuff works for blokes in Abuja

That's crap...and MTN is worse off

You use MTN to play online? I'm curious, what kind of MTN service? DSL or 3G? What's the latency like on your network?
