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)

This post has been edited by cwl_ykh: Feb 23 2008, 01:22 PM

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

This post has been edited by Rezuan78: Feb 23 2008, 06:05 PM

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?

This post has been edited by therescueone: Feb 23 2008, 08:18 PM

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...

Added on February 23, 2008, 11:51 pmi 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.

This post has been edited by Rezuan78: Feb 24 2008, 12:27 AM

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.

This post has been edited by SSJBen: Feb 24 2008, 12:33 AM

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..

This post has been edited by therescueone: Mar 10 2008, 07:03 PM

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.

This post has been edited by Dinghydoggy: Mar 13 2008, 11:17 PM

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...

This post has been edited by Gahleon: Jun 3 2008, 11:31 AM

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.

This post has been edited by SeanWong: Jun 3 2008, 03:36 PM

My DIR-300 just did a firmware upgrade and then when i bought my ps3 i just try to play online without any settings. It works perfectly lol

I'm using a Netgear DG834NB RangeMax NEXT ADSL2+ Modem Router. Works FINE on wireless. Mostly default settings. All A OKAY!

My old modem, Belkin Wireless G MIMO ADSL2+ Modem Router. Now, that modem gave me problem every now and then. Sometimes, my ps3 can connect, but the internet connection is all sluggish. Sometimes, it can't even connect.

bro post the download link thanks...

I'm using Linksys WRT54GL flash with dd-wrt firmware works great with PS3

i write down on a rough paper when i call their customer service....errr, dun know where i place it...ok will try to find it and post it here...

You are using D-Link DIR300 router as well?

Im using this routher. So far so good. Already almost a year.

i think this is the site to upgrade ur dir-300 firmware
http://www.dlink.com.my/products/support.a...id=602#firmware

End up getting Linksys WRT54G...
Will test it later.

really noob here...anyone can help me..i'm using celcom broadband n looking to buy any router to play online n download demos..anybody can suggest me best router n affordable price??
as far i read this thread...D-Link DIR300 Wireless G-Router, is good router and the price rm130..is it true...help me thanks..

i'm using aztech..so far okay, no problem..

can you give detail model aztech n how much?

im using belkin router modem integrated for almost 2 years already. Works fine. With lifetime warranty and cheaper than LINKSYS, its definitely a better deal.

I heard if I use cable to connect to my ps3 it doesn't matter what router I use. Is it true?

router of choice is always up to you be it wired or wireless.

My linksys WRT54G V7 which bought yesterday keep DC on PSN this afternoon,then i have to reset the router to fix it..
I already did all those portforwarding and stuff.
Then i change from channel 11 to channel 6 it seem it work fine now but the connection become slower..

I wonder if i should try the dd-wrt custom firmware..

This post has been edited by Gahleon: Jun 8 2008, 10:47 PM

Try to keep your router off anywhere near a wall.

Changing channel doesn't mean much, your neighbours might also be using channel 6 as well. So try to play around with the channel. Also, try to keep any 802.11b off your router as well. Other than that, theres not much you can do. If you are using streamyx, try to avoid 60.53.xxx.xxx IP add as well. Atleast for me, I found out that if I'm on that IP, my PS3 will DC frequently and even fail to connect in some cases.

I doubt using custom firmware will help though.

Keep changing channel till i got a best one hmm?
Im not using 60. ip too i guess.

Thanks for the advise.

Found that channel 1 gives me higher signal then 6 and 11 which is 90ish and 70-80ish.

This post has been edited by Gahleon: Jun 13 2008, 12:05 AM

Use address reservation setting on your router, that way each MAC will only get the IP u set them. No need static, no need headache.

just bought LinkSys WAG200G

only disable firewall and all settings remain at default..

working perfectly with no connection drop with MGO and COD4 using wireless

try assign different ip when configuring the ps3. for example 192.168.0.150

Ok done now ip no problem,weird now keep say DNS error keep fail NAT...

I try all the same thing on PSP and it work,But PS3 cannot connect keep say DNS server error...

Digging up old thread !!

I never realised TC used DIR-300 also. And i'm also having problems on a few games.

Namely, COD4, have trouble accepting invites, GTA4, GSNLE syndromme, MGO cannot join at all...

Few games works fine...

Could it be my router ??

dir-300 doesnt work well for ps3(cant play online, cant even get PSN online sometimes).. get a belkin router.. to me it's the best there is..

^^

Well, i never had problems going online or logging into PSN.

Just have problems on certain games. Especially P2P games.

And i'm not confident of using wireless anymore, i might just settle for a phone line near my ps3 and use a modem directly connected instead to lessen all the headache.

guys, sorry i'm noob in networking...need some guidance if some may help me

i've a d-link DI-604 ethernet router (not wireless) n a normal modem...
want to connect both the pc n ps3 (wired), but not sure how to set them up...
i want a connection where it's always on even when my pc is turned off but ps3 is still connected (without manually signing in)...

may some1 help me out or mayb show me links to some guides?

in the router set up, there r dynamic, static, PPPoE n "others" options to connect to ISP...which to choose?

thanks if anyone may help me out

Erm, if you have a router.. you should be able to run it 24 hours no matter if your pc is on or not. I'm pretty sure in your router settings, there will be an option for you to choose to connect either by manually or always on. Obviously choose Always On.

Streamyx uses dynamic PPPoE.

I'm not sure about others.

For the PS3, for best performance. create a static IP (manually give IP). And DMZ it.

thanks aaron...
but one thing is i manually connect my streamyx when i on my pc, so if i set the router to Always-On, will i get connection after off pc?
wil creating a static ip solve tis?
thanks ...

Mine does DIR-300 is perfecto.

PS : For those with DIR-300 and having problems, do search up for dd-wrt Its a modded firmware for the router. Something like psp custom firmware. It might fix the problem.

I'm using DIR-615 Revision B with QOS engine. Everything is perfect, but some game I join still lag alot.

I really reckon people to get DIR-655 : D state of the art router...

Edit: In case if you want to know.. I can p2p very well while gaming online.

Terry, yeah i know about the dd-wrt modded firmware.. but it sounds so complicated... if you dont mind, please share the step by step....

Added on July 7, 2008, 2:14 pmNo problem dude...

If your router is set to Always-on... it does not matter anymore if your pc is off. You're dialing thru the router directly, and not the PC. Your PC is only connected to the router to use the internet/LAN.

Erm, i hope i explain it right....

Hmm try to right click and "save file as" to download I think. you gotta do it with care, you don't wanna brick your router Well i messed my mac address

For me i use linksys WAG200G now. No problem at all since i connected with ps3 through wireless.

I had DIR-300 with dd-wrt firmware before but I always got disconnected form PSN & during online play. So if possible go with linksys WAG200G guys

Anybody can help me?

Not sure bout that model, but the model I'm using, SMCWBR14-G, is a pain in the ass. Sometimes can connect, sometimes disconnect
I'd say don't use SMC. I palang SMC now...

Mine use D-Link DSL-500G ADSL Router.

Hi my bro recommend me to get this

Aztech
ADSL2/2+ Wireless G++ 4-Port Router 5 in 1 gateway

is this good?
