yeah sometimes if there are neigbours using wifi, the channels might overlap and disturb each others signal/throughput

What I did was change the channel, disable WAP key and set "Broadcast SSID" to Off

will my connection be totally undetectable when I off SSID broadcast?

nope

some clients can pick up those signal

UIIISH, jadi lak, kalau aku tak portfoward letak dmz tu jadi, portfoward tak jadi huhu....

Btw thanx man....

dang, cause this was the only way I got the wireless to work with the PS3 seamlessly.
Hmmm.....

alhough it is not 100% secure, i'd suggest you to get at least MAC filtering done. it is better than naked unsecured access point with only ssid turned off

^^
if I use MAC filtering then I'd have to put in the MAC addresses for all the devices which I plan to connect with rite?

yes. but if it feels too much hassle for you, just leave it like that. unless if you dont want your neighbours to piggyback on your connection. by studying network packet dumps, unauthorised user can still get the list of allowed MAC addresses. still, it is better than nothing. at least to me.

^^ alright will give that a try later

mmg jadi lar...

cool cool... hope more ppl have uninterrupted gaming sessions....hope TM improve their services...

Hi guys,

as promised, here are the pics.. I wasn't sure of what to take, so I took a couple of shots of my current settings.

Again, my router is a Belkin N1 which is roughly 25ft away (in my room behind closed doors) from the PS3.

I've disabled the "SSID Broadcast" and not using any WPA Key. However, I'm using MAC address filtering. So that "unauthorized" devices won't be able to leech my connection.

So, when you setup the connection on the PS3, you'd have to type in your SSID manually because the PS3 won't be able to detect your router since you turned "SSID Broadcast" OFF. Bare in mind that the SSID is case sensitive. After that just follow the on-screen instructions.

That is basically much it.

Why izzit that my signal is 83% but when i do network test i cannot connect to PSN? it will just say timed out

Im still using wired btw coz can't rely on wireless for online gaming

^^ maybe you can try using the settings i mentioned?

hmm, can i connect my p1 modem into a router and then output it into my pc ? dont wanna use wireless ><

p1 modem itself is a modem+router. all you need is a network switch.

hmmm ? what's that ?
but mine is not the newer wifi version.

if yours has the portforward/dmz/dhcp setting like in the post, it is a router.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch normally very cheap.

hmm sadly it's not the same.
i've asked ppl in that thread and shall see how.
thanks btw

oh btw,
can i connect my p1 modem to a router and output it to my pc ?
