 Re: connected then not The answer is simple- Sony's wifi card is crap. If possible hook up to the router with a wired connection and you will soon lose the barminess (or at least some of it  ). |

| Re: connected then not Yes, a range extender/ booster would help you. You probably will be able to make do with the one extender located in the same room as you have your game systems. If possible get one that is also made by Belkin to ensure the best compatibility with your Belkin router. |

| Re: connected then not Most of the problems with signal strength are coming from the PS3's lousy wifi card. Nothing that can be done there other than getting some signal extenders / boosters to strengthen the signal enough for the PS3 to catch or string ethernet cable around (which may be the best option to ensure your net access). It's not just your PS3 with that problem, Sony skimped on that with every 60 GB out there. If you are getting DNS server errors then you do not have the DNS servers entered into the PS3 correctly. Doublecheck your settings and put everything in manually (set up an IP address for the PS3 on the router in DHCP, put that along with router IP, Subnet mask and the DNS servers into the PS3 settings). Doing that should get rid of the errors but I would really suggest biting the bullet and going wired (or find another room to put the PS3 that is closer to the router at least). |
