Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm having a difficult time setting up my new Verizon MiFi card with my PS3.

When I test the connection, it fails to obtain an IP, and at the bottom it says the WPA key might not be correct, BUT...it's the same exact key I entered on my PC, and I have internet access there. Also, I set everything on automatic (address settings, IP, primary DNS, etc.). And, in the Settings and Connection Status List, it says "not connected" under the signal strength, yet when I was scanning the networks the strength was 95-100%.

I NEVER had this problem with my previous MiFi card. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have You got any other wireless devices that could be interfering with your signal? I couldn't connect to my wifi a whileback, I soon realised it was a Wireless TV sender that had interfered some how with the wifi coverage in my house. A quick change of frequency on that device and everything was back to normal.

No. This is the only thing I have in my house that omits a signal.
 
Not sure. How can I tell if it is?

Sorry if it seems like a noob question. lol
ipconfig /all from the command prompt and then check the config for your card, not the one for your computer.

Are you using Windows?



EDIT: Although your card must have a configuration software, it's simpler to check it there.

EDIT2: Otherwise try to allocate a static adress and don't forget to set dns, etc.
