I have checked the router itself and it has two devices connected to it 1 being the laptop the other having a MAC address that matches the PS3. It uses of course the same encryption etc as it has to and i can succesfully connect to the internet on it.

I have enabled media sharing on the PS3, enable the internet connection and setup wireless connection on the PS3 to use the same router and wireless connection. I am using a static IP succesfully through a wireless router to connect to the internet. Its WPA personal TKIP encryption and i of course have the key. I am running a private network to connect to the internet with Network discovery, media sharing and file sharing on.
