Don’t quote me on this, but I think the modem will only work when connected to a PC. Also, if your PS3 is the only thing connected to the modem, just set everything to automatic when setting up. Don’t worry about IP addresses because nothing else is connected.
I think the easiest way around this is to just go and get yourself a cheap router so. It’ll make your life a lot easier. Take it easy buddy
