Hi all,

I just recently obtained a PS3 and am now looking to get it working online.
Looking for a proper modem + router + wireless unit which works well with the PS3.

Currently I'm eyeing the Linksys WAG54G2
Will it work flawlessly with the PS3?

Otherwise.. what other brand/model will?

thanks!

Haiya, see la..this is why I damn headache

one side say Linksys no prob, the other side say Linksys sucks..

shareeza2000: which model Belkin you using?

vorchiel: was it easy to setup the Linksys? Plug & Play or alot of manual configuration needed?

vorchiel: lol, iphone and network stuff different mah. You ask me to set upnp NAT1 2 3 all these things I dunno wan....

Have you tried connecting the PS3 via wireless with the linksys?

okie...was it stable?

anyone got experience using Linksys WRT310N router with the PS3 via wireless??

little update if anyone cares..

I bought a Belkin N1 router yesterday and got it to work with the PS3.

Router is in my room and the ps3 is in my living room.
According to the PS3, signal strength about 75% and the connection was stable.

Played SF4 and the game was smooth, provided that you play against someone with yellow or green connection.

Also downloaded a couple of HD videos and a game demo from PSN overnight.

Sure I'll snap some pics tonight and share.
Wut should I show btw? haha it's not like you guys have not seen a router or ps3....

I'm using StreamyX

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?

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

^^
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?

^^ alright will give that a try later

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.
