Oh, i see. So which router you chose to replace it?

If play online using wireless connection to a 512 line, will it lag on the ps3? or must only use direct connection?

Hi,

need some advice here.My PS3 ethernet port already dead due to lightning strike(i guess) trough internet connection causing my wired conection dead.I'm not sure if the strike also kill my wireless conection.So if you guys is me.What would you do.

a)Try to buy wireless modem.
good news
-its working
bad news
-still no internet conection and I throw away my money for the new modem.

B)send my PS3 for wired internet port repair
Good news
-Come back to me with good internet funtion and others funtion remains untouch.
Bad news
-Come back with good internet function but some of the other funtion not working normally.Eventhough it's ok before sending to gameshop.

Please help me guys.You are welcome to add others point.

faced the same situation.. but gameshop can't repair mine. my suggestion
a) if still under warranty, can get replacement with new set frm sony.
b) if no warranty..buy new 1 (this is what i did)

good luck

Hi KoonFoon,

still not able to change the NAT type to 2...

here are some picture of my setting...hope it can give you some ideas...

thanks anyway.

no need to buy another Ps3 since the other function still in tip top condition.the problem here should i buy new modem or send my console for repair.if i want to send for repair.there is a risk i need to take.arghhh...di persimpangan delima.

Bro, I don't think it's your router's problem. If I'm not mistaken WiMAX have set the NAT to be NAT3. I read somewhere that there's no way to change it. WiMAX is a no go for gamers.

Correct me if I'm wrong.....

some games are less picky about nat type and some really require at least nat2. it depends on your luck

wimax is ok in latency and is quite comparable to adsl. it is different than umts & those hsdpa standards.

Having some problems with my PS3 internet connection. If the setting on my linksys router is like the picture above, what should I enter as my IP address in my PS3? I currently have it set at 192.168.1.23

some of blogers telling that belkin router is having a big of lack regarding their quality.some of them can use it for only 6month.Should i buy this belkin wireless modem+router today..

shouldn't be a problem if ur router is .1 and ur ps3 is .23 . if there is no need for DHCP u can disable that , and manually set all ur ip on all ur devices on ur own . as long as ur devices is from .2 onwards then its ok , make sure ur devices is pointing to .1 as its gateway. do i make any sense to u ?

i'm using linksys too. but diff model. what kind of problem is noted by the ps3 connection test? failed to obtain IP? internet connection? psn? etc

vorchiel,

could it be safely said that most PS3 games require at least NAT2 ?

yep

properly-opened ports/dmz/upnp will give NAT2

NAT 1 is for direct PPPOE connection to the modem in bridge mode, although some ppl claimed that they were able to get NAT1 connecting to a router.

vorchiel,

thanks for yer feedback...about the claims that people managed to get NAT1 via a router, well yesterday I went to a game shop which hooked up its PS3 to WiMAX modem via netgear router (dunno which model) and could play Resistence 2 online ...

making me confused huhu

what's why i said it depends on the games. some games require nat2 to host a game, and some require nat2 to be able to play a game. panda-chan is on amax's wimax and he is under NAT3. luckily LBP and BOP are not picky and he can play that game normally (and even host a game in LBP).

during my uni days, i couldnt play cod4 online even though my connection is NAT2. that is because my uni firewall blocked the port used by cod4 to connect to servers. they wont open up the port even after i sent them the official guide from IW to say that the port is legit for cod4 and not for some random p2p app.

iirc MGO players with NAT3 cant host the game. i dont know about resistance 2 because i dont have that game.

vorchiel,
Thanks a bunch for the info.....u rock

im using belkin , no probs at all..very good router..im using it around more then a year..

what model You use.did i need to make ang confoguration or just plug and play.This weekend i will make a tour around penang islan for Belkin wireless modem plus router.Anyway it's a little bit a while i don't bring my wife for shoping trip.

NAT2 user here
Host and Join Resistance2 games ..no prob..
and other as well..some times it's not the connecting that causes the problem but the PS3 server itself
whenever i can't connect to PSN and I can play COD4 multiplayer smoothly via PC
