Well, things seem to be a little slow here on the forum so I figured I would start something.

Please respond with your (successful) setup specs. Include all the details you can. If you are wireless or not? Which router? How far is it from your PS3? Which version PS3? TV/monitors that you are using? Add-ons (fans and such) Pretty much anything you can think of that has to do with your setup. Hopefully, this will lead to other discussions. WAKE UP!!

I have the 60gb ps3(second one i might add, the first one went up in smoke) with a wired connection...And as far as the stats, all I know is that its DSL and its a motorola router...I mainly got it for online game play for the ps3....

While I think Wired could be better, and offer slightly higher speeds, it's not possible due to the location of my PC compared to the PS3. I was using a Linksys wireless router for a while, and it was decent, but I switched internet companies, and they gave me a free "Westell Model 327W" DSL modem. It is wireless, and it works excellently. I have all my handhelds and laptop wirelessly running off of it, and never have any problems.

Again, I could run an ethernet, but it would be about 100+ ft., and that is stupid when I have a wireless router that works fine. Plus, it's one less wire behind the rat's nest that is my entertainment center . I'm all for a wireless future, uh huh.

ive got mine running wirelessly,i use a THRUST MASTER fun access key,plug it into a usb on your pc and the ps3 picks it up very quickly my ps3 is down stairs and my pc is the bedroom at the oposite side of the house and ive had no prob's what so ever.GREAT BUY

wireless havnt had any problems yet and best thing took less than 5minutes to hook up

Wired..........
I tried wireless and it didnt work too good, so i changed to wired and the connection is excellent..........

i tried settings up wireless wich was pain in the ar*e but will try another day ethernet was easy plug ands play really so just kept to that.

go to set up it will ask wirelss set up click on that it wil ask to scan or select it choose scan once picked up your router twill ask for wap key and summet else these are written underneath the router its self type those details in then you should be away, if cant pick u the router contact your internet supplier and they will give you your router website thing as you can make it show its name and that should sort it out.

Just a Quick note on set-ups for wireless peeps... Consider that a microwave oven runs at 2.6GHz and can cause interference with electronics in the same frequency so placement can play a major role in quality outcome. Anyway due to the fact I live in a pretty dense apartment complex and the walls are stone I chose to run wired and so far no problems as to online gaming. Happy Holidays Gamers

I have my PS3 wired, I have it hooked up to my broadband router in my master bedroom, up threw my attic and down into my living room at the other end of my house. What a pain it was to hook up.

Works great on my 60G PS3!!

Worf

I have a wireless router, oddly enough I have both my laptop and my 80gig PS3 wired to it. I'll try it wireless soon. No problems yet, but I have only had it set up for 3 days. I never had problems with my PS2 with the same set up.

I am currently using a wireless setup with a The D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router (DIR-655).

D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router

It was a little pricey but I have no problems whatsoever using this router for everything from PS3, laptops, to Ipod Itouch's. Definitely needed to protect the wi-fi due to the strong output. I would recommend this to anybody that wants to go the wireless route.

what's a SSID?.........

An SSID is the name of a wireless local area network (WLAN). All wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID in order to communicate with each other.

Wired.

Ran the wire from a Linksys router in my office back to the 80GB PS3 in my bedroom that's hooked to a 32" RCA Monitor without a hitch. It works as smooth as a soft turd.
