We currently use Verizon broadband aircard connected to laptop--USB720

can we just connet the ps3 to laptop and get on that way or do we have to use router?

its always better to try and connect directly to router if you can or just use (ithink its built in) wireless connection with PS3

Are you saying I can try to log on when my laptop is connected via aircard or are you saying the I must use router?

Can I just connect with ethernet cable?

You could enable Internet connection Sharing (ICS) and connect with a crossover cable, but I don't think most air cards are going to be fast enough to use a PS3 on.
