You don't have to use the modem with router. It just means you can only use one device at a time hard wired if you only use the modem

i wanted to use the wireless usb with my PS3 fed up trying now so have used a ethernet cable & hard wired it to router, might not get as good speed that way but its working now, thanks for your replys.

You'll always get faster speeds with a hard wired connection

PS3 network adapters (both wired and wi-fi) are crap. Also PSN is very variable when checking net speeds. I have hard-wired 100MB on 50MB BB connection and most PS3 ever reported is 6.2MB. Laptop and desktop on same router and same physical cables give 51MB d/l speed. Tried with router and direct to modem with same results.

PS3 is bang on pretty much with mine, 20mb connection, wired to DIR615 and says 18.6mbps
