AEBS & PS3 wireless connection

Just brought a PS3 but having problems with wireless connectivity. PS3 recognizes the airport but will not connect. The AEBS is about 4 yrs old. I have 128 bit WEP and have tried putting in the passwords without success. Can't seem to get past the SSID on the PS3 screen. Tried the PS forum and have looked through Apple discussions without success. Can't directly connect airport and don't want to buy another router if I don't have to.
Any suggestions out there?

PS3 Wireless Connection Problems: DNS error

I have a WRK54G wireless router, and I had my PS3 hooked up to it wirelessly, working fine, last night. Now, all of a sudden, there's a "DNS error" whenever I try to connect it. It can get the IP address fine, but it just can't actually connect to the internet. Help?

I enabled the DMZ, too, btw, and I set the adress to 192.168.1.20, and that's what I put in as the IP adress when I'm trying to hook the PS3 up with the internet... is that what I should be doing?

PS3 Wireless Connection is deathly slow (if it works at all..)

I bought a PS3 (fat 40GB version) today and have been trying to set it up, connect it to wifi, etc. so that I can download the games I've paid for using the Playstation Store on the PC. However, the connection is ridiculously slow.
I'm with Telstra and using a Technicolor TG797 modem. I have a few laptops connected, all getting a DL speed of 6mbps and upload of 500kbps.
I've tried port forwarding, enabling and disabling uPNP, entering 6 or 7 different DNS servers etc., nothing works so far. I had to try five or six times just to get it to log in to the PSN (it kept saying connection timed out or "DNS error" (no matter which DNS I had entered) and now it's been downloading the 54MB PS Store app for more than an hour, creeping up 1% every minute or so. The Internet settings speed test said I was getting a 3.5mbps connection, so the slowness is just ridiculous.
Anyone got any other suggestions as to how I can fix it?

The PS3 has a really outdated and slow wireless G nework so it's not that fast to start with,I would strongly recommend a wired connection.If you can't go wired because of distance to your router have a look online for power line network adaptors AKA homeplugs they give you the next best thing to a wired connection and certainly better than wireless.
Coupled with a Technicolor router formerly known as Thomson and Inventel they are well known for poor performance and reliability you will struggle to get a half decent speed over wireless.
Even my fairly decent speeds wireless v wired is a night and day difference.
Wired.
Wireless.

Airport, Airport Express, iPhone & PS3 wireless network will this work?

Hi I need help with the above,
I've got an iMac 15" G4 800Mhz, it is fitted with a standard airport card, the G4 is connected to the internet via ethernet to a Zyxel P-600 Series ADSL modem. I have also been streaming itunes (using airtunes) to a seperate hi-fi amp in another room using an Airport Express Base Station, THIS ALL WORKS.
I have since bought an iPhone and a Playstaion3 (PS3) and want this all to work together but does not. It would seem that the Airport Express Base Station is the dominant part of this network and I want to change this priority. No matter how far I delve I cannot find the answer. Basically I want the following setup:
iMac G4 (with Airport Card) that is connected to the internet via ethernet to be the 'main Base Station' (not the Airport Express as is currently), I then want to continue streaming Airtunes to the Airport Express and also use this device as a booster for the wireless network. The reason for the new wireless setup is to enable the iPhone to connect to the Internet (the iphone currently sees the network but cannot connect to the internet because the Airport Express is NOT connected to the ADSL Modem), I also want the PS3 to connect to this network.
Am I asking too much of the Airport Card (The one in the G4)? or should I simply buy the new Airport Extreme Base Station and start again?
Any help would really be appreciated, Paul

sorry if i sound stupid but does that mean that if i'm using the AX to stream music (using Airtunes) I cannot simultaneously use it as a wi-fi extender?
That situation is possible.
If so can I set up the AX to just stream music and then use an Airport Extreme Base Station hard wired to the ADSL Modem and the iMAc and connect the iPhone and PS3 to the internet via the AEBS wi-fi network. Essentially creating one wi-fi network for iPhone/ PS3 wireless connection and a seperate Airtunes network for wireless music streaming, or am I just dreaming, cheers for your help.
Sure you can do that. But then you will have to decide if you want to stream music OR you want to be on the internet. Your computers can't connect to both at the same time.
You probably want to do the above, but configure your AX to join the wireless network provided by the AEBS. Then you will only have a single wireless network and you can stream music, print, and surf the internet all at the same time.

Airport extreme: my macbook, cannon wireless printer, ipad and iphone cannot connect to internet when Apple Tv and/or PS3 is connected

Please help! I have an Airport Extreme (model A1143) as my router, and I have several devices connected to it wirelessly and wired. I have my Macbook, Macbook Pro, iPad 1, iPhone 4S, HTC Thunderbolt, Cannon wireless printer, and Apple TV (gen 1) connected wirelessly. I have my PS3, an external hard drive and DirecTV connected via ethernet cable (but sometimes my PS3 is also connected wirelessly).
I began to notice a few months back that my wireless printer had connection errors and could not print. And I noticed soon after that, from time to time, the internet connection on my Macbook and iPad was extremely slow, to the point that I could not surf the web. I tried several different printers before realizing that this problem was happening only when I had my PS3 turned on. I tried both PS3 wirelessly and wired, but the problem persisted. I figured it was a problem with the PS3, so I just made sure that PS3 is off when I need to use the wireless in the house. But I recently bought an ATV (gen 1) and also noticed the same problem when it was connected to the Airport Extreme (wirelessly) - i.e., Ican't print, and my internet is super super slow on macbook, ipad, etc.
So, it must be that my Airport Extreme is the problem, not the PS3 or the ATV. Is there anything I can do to fix this (i.e., some setting that has to be changed)? Or do you think that my Extreme is just dying out on me and it's time for a replacement (I bought it about 5 years ago)?

This problem, for reasons unknown to me, has resolved itself on its own. After several attempts finally everything decided to work. How does stuff like this happen? Thank you.

Slow wireless connection 802.11n AEBS and Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro

I have three Macs all currently connected wirelessly to the new 802.11n AEBS.
Mac #1 - PowerMac G5
Mac #2 - 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo
Mac #3 - 15" MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo
The wireless connection speed (when using the web browser) is fine for both Mac #1 and Mac #2 but noticable slower for Mac #3. All three Macs are sitting right next to each other. All three Mac are getting an excellent signal. All three Macs are running the same version of the OS. All three Macs have identical network setting (as far as I can tell).
When connecting Mac #3 to the AEBS via an ethernet cable, performance is good. I've also tried configuring the channel manually in the AEBS to channel #1 but this did not help (seemed to help others in a different thread). Additionally, I ran the 802.11n enabler and performance was bad both before and after its installation.
Any idea why the Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro would be performing differently?

Ok eveyone. I did some digging and was able to get the network speed back with my Core2Duo machine. I put the Airport Extreme into Bridged mode and connected the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports, not the WAN port. After that everything works great. for more information check out this lengthy thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3989864&#3989864
and this site mentioned...

Apparently the new base stations have a few issues that need to be worked out so I'd consider this a workaround. There should be no reason to have to do this. Good luck.

PS3 80GB Wireless Connection Help

We are struggling to get our 80GB PS3 to wirelessly connect to our Wireless-G Router.
It is set up using a WPA Security. Some one please help! We have done custom set up and put in our IP addresses on our on and we have done easy! The only way we can think of to make it easier is to take the security code off and have an unsecured network, and I do not want to do that.
Please help before I break my ps3 or my router LOL

I reset my linksys router and all of a sudden the ps3 is connected to the internet. I dont know what it did, but it works!!!

PS3 not connecting to anything wirelessly

My PS3 slim won't connect to anything wirelessly (including controller and internet). Controller wirelessly connects to other PS3's and is fully charged. It works with the lead connected. My wifi is working as have tested this with another PS3 and other devices. Have tried to reset controller and restored default settings on PS3, but nothing. Please help...

Ok, that looks like the network interface card has failed. This is a mult-function card that contains the wifi, ethernet and bluetooth functions.
You will need to get it looked at somewhere, either a local pc repair shop, or send it into Sony.

10.5.2, Mac Pro with AE Card, AEBS (not Gigabit) lost wireless connection

Since I upgraded to 10.5.2, I have been having issues with my wireless connection on my Mac Pro. Here's my setup - an 802.11n Airport Extreme Base Station (not gigabit one) with a 802.11g AEBS connected to it. the 802.11n is running on the 5GHz Spectrum only and does not share with 802.11a (so it's running 802.11n only). The 802.11g AEBS is set to run on the 2.4GHz Spectrum and is set to accept both 802.11g and 802.11b. The MacPro has an Airport Extreme Card running 802.11n. The 802.11n base station is almost next to the 2 base stations.
Every once in a while, my Mac Pro will get disconnect to the basestation, and when I go to the Airport Signal icon, I can see both my basestation. I just have to select it again as if all of a sudden, my Mac Pro forgot which basestation it is connected to and get totally confused. It is one thing if the signal to the basestation is gone (have experienced that a few times when I have the 802.11g base station), it's something else to just get disconnected for no reason. Of course, when I select my basestation again, everything works fine (not as if it has problem re-establishing connection). This is getting a bit annoying, especially when I am trying to backup my files only to have been disconnected from the basestation. This doesn't happen every time I backup my files. It happens in random and there can be a long time without having drop the connection and then it can drop the connection 3 times in 10 minutes.
Help!

I have read all the other post, but got no satisfying answer other than people saying Apple really screwed up with 10.5.2 and that doesn't really resolve the problem. Plus, it seems to me that most people's problem are with a 3rd party base station rather than an AEBS. My only other option maybe to down grade my Airport Card software, because I think the problem is with the Airport Card driver that's bundled with the Mac Pro, and frankly, I am not sure if Apple is ignoring the problem or working hard on it, but in either case, it's not fast enough in term of damage control.

Help wirelessly connecting Time Capsule to AEBS

Hello All,
Here's the situation I'm facing:
I just bought a Time Capsule which I've hooked up to my cable modem/internet connection. I still have my old Airport Extreme, and would like to continue using that in another room (wirelessly). I do not care to increase the signal coverage of my wireless network, but only want to use the additional LAN ports on my AE. Basically, I'd like to use the LAN ports to connect my DVR (on-demand programming) and X360 to the internet. Neither device has a wireless card, so extending my network doesn't do anything for me.
Now, I've tried two different avenues to accomplish this. First, I set up a WDS network with the TC being the main, and the AE being the remote. While i was successful in setting this up, the network's speed came to a screeching halt. Average web pages would take almost a minute to load. Not satisfied with that, I tried setting my TC as a new wireless network, and my AE as an extended network. This too worked, and with greater speed, but i found some computers in my house insisted on connecting to the AE, which being somewhat far from the TC, didnt have the perfect connection.
So that leaves me here. Basically, what I'm hoping to do is the following. Have the TC connected to my cable modem with ALL wireless devices in the house connected to it. Then, have the AE wirelessly connected to the TC, and only have wired devices connected to the AE. I do not want the AE to accept ANY wireless connections. Is this possible? Can the AE reject all incoming wireless connections, while sending out its own to the TC? Any help would be appreciated. If you can describe the settings I'll need to use (WDS, Extend, etc. etc.), I'll be very grateful. Thanks so much!

Another option that would require the investment of 100$ would be to get an Airport Express AX), hardwire that to your Time Capsule (TC), and then use Airport Utility to create a separate wireless network with your AX that your Airport Extreme (AE) could then join from wherever you want to put it in your house. By doing this, you get optimal network speeds from both the TC wireless network AND the AX/AE network. Now, if you want to connect ALL your wireless devices to the TC, you simply set them up to join only the TC network; you don't allow ANYTHING to join the AX/AE network by securing it with a password and/or creating a closed network that devices wouldn't readily "see". This option is especially good for your if all your devices are 802.11n, but even if they're not, I think you'll find it gives you the most flexibility. Good luck.

AEBS Dropping Internet Connection q 45 minutes

I have the new airport extreme base station. I bought it January and it has worked flawlessly for the past 6 months. recently, in the past week or so, I began getting a dropped internet connection happening every 45 minutes or so.
About my set up:
Cable modem supplying connection to AEBS via ethernet. VOIP box connected to AEBS via ethernet getting internet connection from AEBS. Playstation 3 connected via ethernet to AEBS. Airport Express base station linked to airport extreme base station wirelessly (of course) to share printer connection via USB. iBook G4 1.2ghz running Mac OSX 10.4.9
Trouble Shooting.
Originally I would unplug the cable modem for 30 seconds and plug it back in. This would reset the connection and i would have service again for 45 minutes. I decided to test whether or not it was the router or modem that was kicking me so I unplugged the ethernet cable coming from the modem to the AEBS and plugged it directly into my computer and turned off my airport connection, essentially hardwiring the ibook directly to the modem. I got kicked off again. At this point i drew the conclusion that it was the modem and contacted my cable company. After a bunch phone conversations that essentially accomplished nothing, they sent a tech out to my house. He replaced my old (3 years) cable with a brand new one to test out. I left my computer wired directly via ethernet to the new modem and this time DID NOT receive any drops in connection over a period of 4 hours. I reconnected the ethernet cable from the modem to the AEBS and reset my connection and decided to test out wireless. It dropped me again in 45 minutes. I left the cable modem connected to the AEBS via ethernet and unplugged the ethernet cable coming out of the AEBS that gos to my VOIP box and plugged my computer into the AEBS via ethernet and disconnected from airport on my computer. I was again dropped in 45 minutes. I reset my modem and unplugged the ethernet cable coming out of AEBS that gos to my Playstation 3. Again I was dropped within 45 minutes. After that, I reconnected both the PS3 and VOIP box ethernet cables and unplugged my computers ethernet cable from the AEBS and have just been using the wireless connection and resetting the modem every 45 minutes when it drops. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that I plugged the Playstation 3 directly into the cable modem via ethernet and played online for 4 hours without interruption/disconnect. Anyways, I am back to square one. I believe based on the evidence above that the problem lies within the Airport Extreme base station router some how, but I have no idea what the problem is.
What happens when my connection is dropped:
I can be doing anything from using an instant messaging service to trying to load a web page using firefox or safari. Basically the page fails to load, i get a message saying it can't find the server. Usually at this point I will open up network utility and try to ping yahoo.com. It doesn't ping and says it can't find the server. I go to the modem and unplug the power for 30 seconds and replug it back in. As soon as everything back up I have my connection back.
What the cable company did:
They looked at their connections, including the fiber optic node for the area. They did not find any outages or problems within their system. They plugged my coxial cable into a modem/tester box (not sure exactly what it was) to evaluate signal received via coxial cable which they said was working properly. they checked my cable connection from house to street and didn't find any compromises in the wire/cable.
I have downloaded and installed the latest firmware for my AEBS. I am out of ideas. Can anyone help?
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I had the same problem earlier this year with my cable carrier. At first I thought it was the modem so I replaced the Dlink with an Apple Extreme and it still kept happening. After some research on MacInTouch I found that using an earlier version of the base station software made the problem go away. So I never updated and all was well with the world. Till last week and now like you I am dropping connections every hour or so no matter what application I am running or what site I am on the internet.
A friendly tech admitted to me that there was a problem with the way the modem communicates with the provider and that they were aware of the problem but that there was nothing he could do to help me.
That is when I cured the problem temporarily by using the base station software from 2004. If I find an answer to the return of the problem I will post it. Please let me know if you find a solution.

TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
My setup:
1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
- downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
- turning off wireless security; no difference at all
- changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
- changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
- rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
- reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
In other words, HELP!
I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.

No wireless connection on WRT54GS

The wireless connection on my WRT54GS (v6, firmware 1.50.9) seems to have died. The WLAN light still comes on, but neither the downstairs PC nor my PSP can locate the network, even though the router is set to broadcast the SSID. Rebooting makes no difference. Cabled connections (PC and PS3) still work perfectly well. No settings have been changed on any of the equipment, so I suspect that something has gone wrong internally. The router is just about within its warranty period, so is there anything I can try - any diagnostic software, for example - or should I just get it replaced?

You can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys....& it will definately work!!!

PS3 Wireless

I am really confused why i keep lagging on ps3 wireless for the past couple of weeks, before that it was fine. Laptop wireless is fine, getting speed very close to ip profile. PS3 on the speed test i can get about 14MB which is much more than enough for gaming, but i lag! Wired then i do not get lag. I am currently playing while using a bridged connection via my lapop, so my ps3 uses the internet coming to my laptop via connecting ethernet between my laptop and ps3 and then i also dont lag. I have tried multiply HH3's. Anyone have any idead what the problem is?
I have ordered homeplugs now but still want to know the problem

Download throughput doesent have much to do with lag, its your ping or latency that causes that.
I cant offer a solution, but you could try testing the ps3 wirelessly nearer to the HH if possible, even better if you can line of sight it without walls or obstruction. If the lag goes then the location is your problem.
Using the bridge method works because the wireless chip in the laptop is probaly better/ has better drivers.
Can you do ping test from the ps3 and its browser? that would tell you if your latency is good or bad.

A: Try plugging router into your test socket.
