Im having connection problems on cod4 mainly,when trying to invite friends it just never happens i can join any other game apart from when i send or recive invites,but even when i do connect to a game a some times get a really bad connection is this down to the way i have my PS3 connected?
i use a thrust master fun access key instead of a wireless router so could this be the problem,ive checked the signal strength and it goes from about 45 to 50% it dosent seem to get any stronger,would i be better of buying a wirless router? or just trailing the 50ft ethernet cable up and down the stairs when ever i want to connect with friends,some one out there must be able to help

that was quick rob cheers
could it be down to having really bad upload speed (what ever that is) i can never find out what it is

what kind of router do you suggest? and what are Ethernet adapters?

Wired connection as said by Lyndon are so much more reliable. I have both systems at work (my job is to administer the computer system and database) and I can tell ya that the wired link is 100% reliable.

I have this issue as well. I get invites to join you guys all the time but every time I click "ok", it tells me that the server is no longer available or its timed out. I dont have any other connection issues other than that. I know its not my router. I always have 100% signal out to my PS3 thanks to my D-Link - Xtreme N Wireless-N Gigabit Router.

so should i just stick with what I've got or go out and by a wireless router
that i have no idea how to set up or use and cant really afford
i must say i don't seem to have any problems really with any other games,apart from cod4.
on my PC when i check the connection it does say it's got a good signal,so if i go out and buy a router what sort of speed do i go for? the cheapest i can find is 54mbps and that is what i get from the fun access key .
Ive got a headache now its just to much to fathom.

Do not go out and purchase a wireless router based on a few bad connections with COD4. If you do not have any other issues with any other games then dont waste your time. The only reason for a wireless router is pretty much convenience. The main one being that you dont have wires running thought your home or workplace. If you have wi-fi capable products like the apple itouch, laptops or even printers, the router makes it much easier to link to the internet or network. Please dont go spending the money unless you actually have use for a router. This will not fix the issue we spoke of earlier. Many people are having the same problem so I think its more of a server thing. However, if you decide to go wireless, do your research first and do not go low end if it can be avoided.

i think you may be right stick with what ive got or use a cable see how it goes.....THANKS

the problem on COD4 is not down to your conection, i use a Netgear wireless router, i never get a signal strength less than 80%, and i cannot join accept an invite unless i am in the lobby.

We have all experienced this, it was driving sfjp mad for a while.

Remember we bumped into each other in the lobby, we managed ok then, its just when you are already on a agme, it wont let you accept an invite.

I think............
