When i dont have a password on my wireless box it connects to the ps3 fine. when i put a WEP or WPA password i keep getting error code 8013013E
the password works fine on my pc just not the ps3. I have changed the pasword to all numbers and nothing works. Im using a Netgear WG614 v4 router.

Change your authentication type to AUTO on your router. It is probably on shared and the PS3 does not offer this option it is defaulted to OPEN.

Alternatively you can create a MAC Filer which only allows the machines with their MAC ID's to access your router.

Anybody here use AT&T's 2wire Gateway? I keep getting error code 8013013E telling me that the PS3 can't access my wireless LAN and to check my security settings. I had AT&T open up the ports (?) for the PS3 and have changed my security settings and I still can't connect. This problem is very dissapointing since I have had no issues with my Wii or my sister's Toshiba laptop. AT&T offered me their high end support line but they charge $99. Thanks in advance.
1. try to connect wired to the router and see if you still have issues. (at least if you get online you can do the updates - this is how I figured out the wireless portion of my original router had issues, but the router itself worked fine with the PS3 but only wired). If you can connect, then you know router is at fault. If not - there is some communication error (duh...I know) but you will need to find the setting that sets off the PS3. I would try to the router without security or anything just to the PS3 and see if it can connect. Some PS3's don't like particular security setting on some routers. At least eliminate that as a potential cause first. Read my post before this one as well for some other advice. But check for a new firmware for the router too.

2. if all else fails - spend the 99$. I week after I purchased my I needed to get a new router before a fix was found 1 months later. 50$. Then I purchased a BT headset that worked fine till update 1.6 then it would crash my PS3. 45$ (can't return so I use with my cell now) So then I needed to find a new headset that works and wont crash the PS3. 75$. All happy now, but the bank and the wife was pissed I needed to spend more money, not too long after I spent the 600+. Welcome to the club.

u could try to put your ps3 in A DMZ i had this issue when i first got my Netgear WG614 v4 router i was having all kinds of issues but when i put it in DMZ all issues were sorted just go into your router page 192.168.0.1 and goto settings then i think u gotta have the ps3's mac address handy as u will need to put that in then reset ps3 scan for ur router then pick auto setup it will auto config ur settings then away u go happy playing hope this helped

if u need any further assistance u can join the IRC chat room i am on most days so i can help u if u need or there may be some other of our team there to help

Try this, make sure your ps3 uses a static not dhcp supplied address within your routers address space, make the primary dns pointer for the ps3 point to your router gateway, make sure that the router points to your isp dns servers, make sure that your router use only your supplied dns entries.

this method works for wifi connection of ps3's,psp's , itouch etc when they will not connect to your wifi

as for security wpa2-psk should work as it is support by all the devices i have connected
have you updated your routers firmware to the latest?

I would also include mac filtering as an extra protection method, as pirate said
it does not stop the determined but it does stop the casual

for the rest here is an example:

router: lan side settings
ip address: 192.168.1.254
netmask: 255.255.255.0

dhcp scope: 192.168.1.32 -> 192.168.1.63

primary dns: your isp primary dns address
secoundry dns: your isps secoundry dns address


PS3:
ip address: 192.168.1.103
netmask : 255.255.255.0
gateway : 192.168.1.254
primary dns: 192.168.1.254
secoundry dns: can be blank
