Hey all, its been a while since ive been on here, havent had much problems except for now. I recently purchased a ps3 (like 3 months ago) and ive never had any problems with connecting or playing games over the PSNetwork until this past 2 weeks.
     
      I know it has something to do with the router bc i dont have these problems when im wired into the modem. The strange thing about my problem is that i can still access the internet through the ps3 for example, i can watch netflix with no hiccups or problems what so ever and i can use the browser normally without any problems also but it begins when signing into my account to go online (check messages, psstore, home). I cant connect and usually end up getting error codes and prompts. I called sony to today to talk to a rep, they said it has something to do with the internet but its not, they gave me ports to open up and i have those open as i type. I even have the gaming fule rule that fuzzynuts has on here and i still have problems.
     
     I have no idea what the problem can be bc its only when im on the network trying to game. And if i do connect and start to play a game i cant exit out of the session bc once i lose connection to the server or host of the game i can no longer connect to online games until i reset my ps3.

Any Help? if need more detail thats no problem, thanks for the help!

Just to clarify
When your ps3 is connected directly to the modem you can watch movies on the ps3 with no hiccups?  What if you do a wired connection from the PS3 to the router?
Have you performed the internet test connection on the PS3? Do you get any errors? What are you dl/ul rates? (you might want to do all configurations mentioned above) What are you dl/ul rates do you typically see (on your pc)? Have you tried putting your ps3 in DMZ?

I'm having a problem with the PS3 as well, but I think it differs from yours and its a different router...

Did you follow the PS gamefule sticky?
I presume you have set up a static IP address for the PS?
How is the PS connected? Wired or Wireless?
If wireless, what modes are you using?

Have you saved off the config to file and do a factory reset and test out the PS afterwards?

Get ahold of Lookin2MyEyes for more help with PS.

[Juicy J]

I followed sticky. Set up ip address, it's wireless and I have it set on g 2.4 ghz. And no I haven't done factory reset yet.

[Juicy J]

Whisk- I can movies normal wireless even tho I am having the problems. I have done the test and it usually fails when connecting to the ps network. I haven't tried the dmz stuff

[FurryNutz]

Does this happen on wired connection as well?

I would do a save of the current configuration to file so you can reload it later.
I would do a factory reset of the router.
Setup static IP address for the PS.
Don't use Gaming or gamefuel settings at this time, yet.
Setup WifI for 2.4Ghz and Single mode G or N, what ever the highest mode the PS will do.
Turn off Advanced DNS Service. Turn on DNS relay.
Make sure ISP DNS are being filled in under Basic/Internet/Manual.
Set Firewall to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

Test and see what you get.

[Juicy J]

I will. I mean I can play on it. But for example if I leave the multiplayer screen and play single player and then decide to play multiplayer I won't be able to unless I reset the ps3.

[FurryNutz]

Hmm, that seems odd, sure it might not be the PS3 or something there?

[Juicy J]

no i believe its the router, im going to reset to fact specs on the router and give it a whirl

[Juicy J]

It is the router it seems, I have on factory specs, no security and when i do the internet connection test it fails but when i connect wired directly to the modem it doesnt fail.

[FurryNutz]

Hmm...something on WiFi then I presume.
And the highest mode the PS3 does is 2.4Ghz at N?

[Juicy J]

2.4 ghz G, no N radio yet. I even made a DMZ thingy for it and it didnt help well at least im stil not able to connect

[FurryNutz]

Wonder if there is something with the PS WiFi thats not working well. Can you connect up other WiFi to the router and test? Single mode G at 2.4Ghz should work great for gaming. I have a buddy whos Son's Xbox is on that and we game all the time on it.

I think you need to confirm that either the Wifi on the PS is not right or could be the router. Need another device you can connect on WiFi and test.

[Juicy J]

I connected my iphone and it works just fine, im going to try to connect wired through the router and see if that works since the router is near factory specs

[FurryNutz]

Ok...i might presume that the wifi on the PS or the configuration of there in could be the issue. Let us know how the wired side goes.
