How to connect my PS3 to the internet via IPhone 5c hotspot?

I have tried pretty much everything, and it will not connect. It doesn't show up at all on the playstation, and while I type in the ssid (A) and password, it always times out when trying to figure out an IP?

It's downright maddening 'cause I have no other means of connecting it to the Internet and I need it in order to connect my PSN and Steam accounts via Portal 2 so I can get the PC copy free.

Usually PS3 doesn't work with mobile hotspots, or if it does it's extremely limited. Rarely will a PS3 actually properly work with a mobile hotspot. The only way to properly connect is through a standard broadband connection.
