 Re: Im having troubles
If you are geting 100% signal you would be best to use it. Even with the ethernet cable you would have to configure the router so you aren't gaining anything.
To reserve an IP for the PS3 click on LAN IP in the Advanced section of the router menu along the left side. Near the bottom of this you will see "Address Reservation". Click the Add button.
On the screen that comes up you'll see 3 sets of blanks: IP Address, MAC Address and Device Name. In the first set of blanks type in the IP address you want the PS3 to get, making sure it is within the router's range (I suggest 192.168.1.10 to be high enough not to interfere with anything else connecting). Type in the MAC Address of the PS3 in the next blank and name it whatever you like (PS3 works). When done click the Add button.
You'll need to restart the PS3 to get this setting to work properly once setting up as it will not "take" until the next time the PS3 wants online.
This link is to the .pdf file of your router's manual, direct from netgear's site. Have a look through this any time you need to figure out how to change a setting (always a good idea to read the manual and learn how to do this sort of thing on your own, that's how I did it with my router  ).  |
