[FurryNutz]

get a hold of LookIntoMyEyees, seems to be good and PS stuff.

There would be no need for that since if you choose automatic it will get everything automatically. I am starting to think it is not router issue it is more ISP related. If you would like I can control your pc and edit the router settings for you via a program called Team Viewer, It is 100% safe & you can stop me at any time. Also I would suggest cal your ISP and see if you can transfer or get a new plan with them. Btw what firmware is your router on?

Well there are some things which work better doing it manually. Thats mostly if you have DSL though. I doabt  its a ISP issue though. No major ISP in the states block the ports needed for the PS3. And his QoS cap wouldn't keep him from connecting. Kudos for offering remote support, but would not remote support at the router level be easier?

Start > Run > http://192.168.0.1 > Tools > Admin > ADMINISTRATION > Check "Enable Remote Management"

Then Change the password on the same screen to something you will remeber and your routers IP. Never used it before, but that would remove some of the privacy issues.

If that works awesome. I am just trying to get his problems solved asap.

Well I have never actually used it. Your the PS3 expert though. Kudos for helping. Im not on the PS Forums that much since the change. ::grumble::

I have no issues with my A2 (v1.15) unit & ps3 connectivity. I did not touch anything with the router - started up ps3, went through the setup and worked perfectly However I did switch from wireless to wired because I like streaming HD movies and wireless could not handle it.

[RedGamerTag]

I followed the PS3 setup guide on my DGL-4500 f/w 1.22 and it worked for one evening and then the next day I started having the same annoying lag issues in Battlefield Bad Company 2. I didnt change any settings. While I play my roommate is browsing the internet wirelessly so I shouldnt be experiencing this much lag since hes only reading webpages.

I dont know why the connection went to s*** again, I'm pretty fed up with this "gaming" router. I had a better connection on my WBR-2310. Its too bad.

I'm thinking I might just buy a dedicated internet connection for my PS3 and everything else in my house can use a seperate connection.

[LookIntoMyEyees]

If you followed my guide I found a issue on it. I will put it into my new version of it any ways. The issue started like 2 days later after having my rules set up on it the issue is that when i play call of duty MW2 i get this little lag spike and keeps occurring again and again. I simply started playing with the settings and noticed
the issue went away as soon as i disabled Dynamic Fragmentation. i also changed my connection type to cable or broadband network. This all can be done through Advance>GameFuel. Hope this fixes your lag issues. I am currently trying to fined other improvements. While this might not be a problem for others it might be for some. Please leave your feedback. Also I am on firmware 1.15.

I'll give that a try, would be nice if Dlink added in some sort of tool to auto set the settings for each console on the gaming router because this is way too much work to have the connection work properly.

[RedGamerTag]

I tried it no difference, I think the problem is my roommate surfing the internet, I pay for 25 mbps and have a "gaming" router that is supposed to help with things like "gamefuel" but I really dont think gamefuel does anything at all, just a gimmick. the only solution to have lag free games is to buy my own internet connection so I dont have to share.

DGL-4500 sounded too good to be true.....and it was.

Trust me it, it worked for me. 25 Mbps Is very quick you should experience no lag or issues at all. Please notice to get optimum performance you must connect the PlayStation 3 unit via Ethernet cable. Also GAMEFUEL rules only apply to Ethernet connected devices I so believe. How are you connected to the router? wireless? or Ethernet? I am trying my very best to help you resolve these issues. Have a great day.

I have my PS3 wired directly to the router.

I have run out of options, I have followed the guide on here and I've been on the Phone with Dlink tech, Sony tech, and my ISP and no one knows what the problem is. Something is going on with my network and I have no idea how to diagnose the issue.

I run the PS3 Network test and I get 2-3 Mbps download and maybe 1Mbps upload. This isnt even close to the 20-25 I should be getting.

I'm confused and frustrated with routers in general, I have never had a good experience with routers, they always slow everything up or randomly disconnect you.

I do know my way around the settings and I had it set exactly the same as the guide. It seemed like it work for one evening and then either after I powered down my ps3 or after my roommates started connecting to it the connection turned bad again.....I dont know if my roommates vista laptop is messing with my router or what is going on. Maybe I have a really bad ISP and there is something wrong there? or maybe my modem is garbage? I dont know.


Another note, my router says it is constantly blocking outgoing ICMP packets from my playstation to the primary DNS server, I cant remember the numbers. Is this an issue? and how do I fix that?

[LookIntoMyEyees]

May I know if you ever tried connecting your Ps3 directly to the modem? If so how did it go? If after you do it and your ps3 get perfect connection you might want to set your PlaySation 3 via the router with DMZ. For DMZ you will need to go to Advanced > Firewall > DMZ Host and put your ps3 static IP address there. Also you may want to try to disable short GI in Advanced > Advanced wireless. What Hardware Version you in? If you are in firmware 1.21 that may also be the problem. It is unstable so I hear. I am not suggesting this but it might be the only way to get you back to decent speeds. I am running firmware 1.15 and it is awesome no need to go higher. But there is a hack going around that lets you downgrade firmware I can't get into details with that sine that is against Policy. But yet again Google is your best friend. Have a great day.

[RedGamerTag]

Yeah, my PS3 is in the DMZ, it is also in gamefuel and all of the PS3 ports are open in the gaming tab. I also have the IP address reserved through the router as well as set to a static IP through the PS3 menu.

I have connected my PS3 directly to my modem before and the problems were fixed, to connect my PS3 Directly to my modem I need to take away my PS3's static IP address and set everything to automatic or I get DNS errors. Not sure if this is relavant.

I may try googling the old firmware then, I would find if very humorous if old firmware fixed my problem, Dlink might have to reconsider some things.

I'm using firmware 1.22
