hi.. guys.. i bought a D-Link DIR-300 wireless G router a few days back and i don't think i like it much.. first of all.. i cant play COD4 online.. i cant play warhawk online.. all i get is the web browser and that is it.. i cant play anything online.. is it something wrong with my settings for the router? i've done the DMZ.. UPnP doesnt work so i tick it off.. read somewhere in a forum someone said to do the port forward, and i did.. but nothing new happen.. the psn just kick me off the network and the internet freezed up until i reset the damn thing.. can some one help me please with my problem.. anyway, i have my ps3 on wired since its hard enough to get the net.. ow, and if nothing helps.. someone please recommend me a better router so i can get back into the game.. cheers!

eq2addict says
add to forza's post :

D-Link DIR-300 DUN WORK with PS3.

Oh : oh i go home liao... 1hr + later who want to play msg me haha

Linksys WRT54GL won't work? Even with the hacked firmware?

This is like the most common router at some point....

its not a wireless modem router rite?
connected to TM modem? the modem is auto log in mode?

the only thing i need to do now i to get myself a new router.. thanks guys..

ow.. anyone here playing COD4 and using a wireless router? what router are you using.. it would really help if you would share that info.. dont want to go to the pc shop and bring a big list of what router that i should buy..

I bought the following and tested it ...

1. D-Link DSL-2640T > 54Mbps (802.11g) Wireless ADSL 2/2+ Router with Built-in Modem, 4-port 10/100Mbps Switch

NOT GOOD

2. ZyXEL P-660HW-T1 > 802.11g Wireless ADSL 2+ 4-port Gateway

NOT GOOD

3. Linksys WAG200G > Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway

GOOD


Now I can host COD4 full green bar match. Refer to COD4 Discussion Thread. Click Here.

how bout maxis broadband? is it compatible??
especially the new wifi modem (e960)

Now i use AZTECH ADSL2+ .... got 4 port wired & wireless too so far so good..... bought from Sri Comp Lowyat.. i think RM185.00....

I thought any standard 802.11b/g router is supported?
even the PSP is able to connect to all kind of networks I ve tested so far

any answer for me...??

So the ultimate question is what's the best setting in (wired/wireless) router to get a decent connection to PSN?

I have a D-Link DSL-2540T ADSL wired router but really don't know how to configure the setting in order to get a better connection especially when playing COD4 online.

Sorry, no idea about Maxis modem.


I had D-Link DSL-2640T ADSL wireless router, tested and result not good. So I think you better change your modem.

LOL... Is there any big different between the that model (wired/wireless).
Is it just the wireless model or both (included wired too) are equally bad? I just that wired router few days ago with my ang pau money.

im using BELKIN F5D7632AK4A Wireless G 802.11b/g 54 Mbps ADSL2 Modem + Router 4 Port
playing warhawk on wireless connection. NAT on type 2. UPnP ON. works great

DIR-300 dun work with COD4. I tried with open port/dmz everything.

Can login to psn and until COD4 online but cant find game or join others even with NAT type 2.

rezuan : where can i get BELKIN F5D7632AK4A.. and how much issit?

im looking to buy something worth rm200 below.. something good to settle for..

Linksys WAG200G sounds good enough.. now where can i get the item for a great deal.. anyone want to buy my D-Link DIR-300 router?

anyone using a wireless-n router for ps3???

is direct connectioon ( wired ) that bad with ps3?

If D-Link Wireless DSL-2640T not good, then D-Link Wired DSL-2540T also the same cause the configuration is the same.


Then you should be able to configure to NAT type 1.


of course D-Link Wireless-G Broadband Router 4-port DIR-300 not working properly because you still need a ADSL modem to connect to it.


Belkin ADSL Modem Wireless-G Router F5D7632, RM235
Linksys ADSL Modem Wireless-G Router WAG200G, RM235


I had used Belkin Wireless N MIMO Modem Router F5D8633 and Belkin N1 Wireless Modem Router F5D8631 for my PS3 before.


Wired Connection is the best method for PS3. Guarantee works.

i bought it at lowyat. price around rm200 plus...

i connect using router can i get NAT Type 1?

NAT Type 1: Connected directly to the Internet
NAT Type 2: Connected to the Internet via a router
NAT Type 3: Connected to the Internet via a router. Depending on the network environment it may not be possible to connect to other PS3(tm) systems. Voice / video chat and the communication features of games are restricted.

Am using Belkin Wireless-G Modem Router F5D7632, 54g 4-port on my PS3 currently. Configured to NAT Type 2 wirelessly, zero problems thus far.

Played Burnout Paradise demo online and a few others all with zero lag!

BTW, is it better to set my NAT to Type 1? I have no problems thus far with NAT Type 2, so don't wanna change anything.

same here dude. i think NAT Type 2 is good enough for me too.

no need to change if you satisfy with NAT type 2 ... cause normally for those who can get NAT type 2 ... easily can get NAT type 1 as well ...

I can set it to Type 1 easily now, but if theres no difference at all... why bother?

How do you set the PS3 connection for NAT Type 1 when you're sharing connection with PC?

Of course i got connect it with adsl modem, or else i cant even get NAP Type at all.

hrm.. one more thing.. yeah i still have the dir-300 router connected with zyxel P-660R-T1 v2 adsl.. anyway i'm using Maxis broadband.. so is there anyway that i can configure the adsl ports so that the game connection for the ps3 would be normal..
and i went to a shop in sunway and was gonna get my hand on the belkin Wireless-G Modem Router F5D7632 but the dude said that it's better for me to get a d-link modem instead.. all because my isp -> maxis.. i dont feel like getting another d-link router cause of the compatibility problems..

Hey guys... Just wanted to ask... Would my ISP affect my NAT type? I've done everything possible to configure my router for the PS3. I'm using a Dlink DI-524 (which a few people have said works fine).

I've assigned an IP address to my PS3 and DMZed it, port forwarded the relevant ports, changed both my router and PS3's MTU to 1364, every possible thing I could think of, and my NAT type stubbornly remains at type 3.

What ISPs are you guys using (if you've got NAT 2)? I'm using Macrolynx...

I have use many router brand
so far what see, the best is either netgear or belkin
linksys have good performace but hard to configure
other than that all s**k ball
dont buy cheapeo aztech or other cheap brand
go for quality then money
dont waste money like me buying aztech

This sucks. Having a PS3 that can't play online.

Erm... I doubt ISP affects the NAT type . U cn try calling ur ISP to confirm though.

Well I just plugged my modem directly into my PS3 via wired connection, so since there's no router, I should be getting NAT type 1. BUT it's still NAT type 3. I doubt the helpline for my ISP will understand what the heck I'm talking about though... Malaysian helplines are like that.

What should I do? Switching ISPs is not an easy task... don't think it's an option either. Parents wouldn't wanna change the line and billing setup just for my gaming sake. If it was my router that was the problem at least I could just go out and buy another router or something... *Sighhh*

So to those who are able to get NAT type 2... are you guys using Streamyx basic?

Added on March 13, 2008, 11:17 pmI sent off a rather crisp e-mail off to my ISP, asking for a solution to this problem. Still no reply yet.

One of the reasons I bought a PS3 was for online play.

i have another question.. i bought myself a belkin F5D7632ak4A router.. works great.. got NAT2 but the ps3 says something about ip fragmentation.. can't chat online anymore.. any suggestion? but online gaming works wonders.. i've set both router and ps3 MTU to 1492 since it's the biggest number that the router could get.. and have set ip static on ps3 and DMZed.. still no changes..

funny enough the cheapo aztech ( the one that came with TM hotspot @ home) package lets me play online just fine.

im using maxis by the way.. probably that's the source of the problem..

DIR-300 D-Link user here, playing COD4 has been flawless for me no settings needed lol

Hi,

I wanted to change my D-LINK 500T ADSL router, i think its time already, coz only got 1 port, when i wan surf net, i cabut go to pc, when wan ps3 online i cabut cable to PS3, its annoying...

soon i get the money to change, i wana buy those with 2-4 ports that work the same jz that u can share, can u guys intro me a good brand? i read frm page 1, seeing ppl talking abt Belkin, i never heard of that brand to be honest -.-

the settings isnt hard right? so far even wired on my D-link , i still lag playing every freakin online game on PS3....real suck =(.. although NAT 2, but still lag playing everything ...pity me thank you

A router with only 1 port? What router is that Belkin or Linksys would be good i guess

Seriously, look up D-LINK 500T , ADSL router with just 1 port..damn funny but this is what ive been using all these while...

Belkin, sounds nicer to me since Linksys is long time already know haha...

so any specific model i shud go for that works wonder with PS3? i wan wired. I will google up the models

@ krovaxq - i thought u pencen from ps3 already...

Not too sure bout the models though need to wait for the sifus to reply

just got D-Link DSL-2640T for a couple day,.....before connect the PS3 via wire, now wireless..... also connet to 3 PC and one laptop in the house the using the D-Link DSL-2640T

topic :-

hmm, i checked got various models, but i dono...does modem model/type really affect PS3? i tot connectivity issue only... diff types wont really make a difference? hmmm

i hope its below 200 if possible, im selling my Guitar hero 3 d next week to someone, n hope to use it to get a new router lol... damn sian la everytime need go down table switch ethernet cable

Im getting a wireless router this week and im only familiar with linksys.
Any suggestion?
I heard Linksys WAG200G is pretty smooth with wifi on PS3 which i saw in page 1.

use aztech... ... so far i guna no hal... ... (my PS3, 360 using wireless)

p/s: model no nanti balik i check..

Just share my experience with your guys...

Currently using D-Link DIR300 Wireless G-Router, said to have 8 port (4 wire & 4 wireless), though i only use to connect PS3 & 2 laptop at one time...

The only problem that i facing during first time using is that it will regularly disconnect from PS3 without reason, then call up to D-Link Customer Service, get to know that the model need to download a patch to solve the disconnectivity issue.

So just follow his instruction, go to ftp file & download the patch into the router, so far until now the online went perfectly without disconnect from PS3 (touch wood!)...

Btw i'm using Streamxy 2.0 Mbps...

Hope that the little info can be a guidance for those who intends to buy D-Link wireless router...

Edit: btw i get NAT 2 for my PS3 and the D-Link router cost RM130..and i check in speedtest, download speed around 1.6 - 1.7 Mbps and upload speed around 500 - 600 kbps

After finish reading all 3 pages..
Can NAT2 work on wireless? Or it only work in wired connection?

My PS3 is too far away from my PC for settle with a wired connection..

Can ur DIR-300 able u to play COD4? My dir-300 although can connect and get NAT 2, but it seems like cannot find game in COD4...

NAT2 works on both wired and wireless.

My PS3 is setup wirelessly with NAT2 setting.

Sorry i don't have COD4 to test it...used to play Lost Planet & Winning Eleven 2008 online, work perfectly...Also try other demo like Grid, Haze and etc. also able to play online multiplayer mode without problem.
