Connecting PS3 to Internet via Comcast (Xfinity) – Not Direct Cable

You **cannot plug a coaxial Comcast cable directly into a PS3**. The PS3 has no coaxial tuner. You need a **Comcast/Xfinity internet connection** (via modem/gateway) and then connect the PS3 to that network.

Standard Setup

1. Comcast Gateway (Modem+Router) → Ethernet cable → PS3 (wired) **OR** PS3 connects to Gateway's Wi-Fi.
2. If you have **Xfinity xFi Pods / Extenders**, ensure PS3 connects to 2.4 GHz band (PS3 doesn't support 5 GHz).
3. PS3 Network Settings → Internet Connection Settings → Easy → Wireless / Wired → Test Connection.

If You Only Have a Cable Box (No Internet Modem)

You **must subscribe to Xfinity Internet**. The cable box (X1, Flex) only delivers TV. Internet requires a separate (or combo) gateway. Contact Comcast to add internet service.

Legacy Note

Original "Fat" PS3 (CECHA/B) had a **"TV" input** for PlayTV (DVB-T tuner accessory, Europe only)—**not for US cable**.
