PS3 Wireless Connection Problems

dogswood · 08-12-2009, 10:21

Hope that this is in the right place.

I have a PS3 that will not connect using wireless to my Belkin N+ Wireless router . I have it on the WPA2 setting and it sees it connects but whilst loading stops and gives an error message. My PC is wrield to the router and works so does another laptop.

Does anybody have any ideas before I give up.

Thanks

It would help if you could tell us what the error message is.

dogswood · 08-12-2009, 14:48

OK I will get that information, although it has given different errors I will give you the last one. later. Thanks

Is it a new ps3 or a second hand one, just wondering if it was second hand that it may have been configured for someone elses wireless network.

Have you scanned for available wireless networks, found yours and then entered your passphrase correctly.

Could it be a signal strenth issue ?, as in your too far away, just a thought.

I pressume it connects fine wired ?

could you try another ps3 just to rule out yours ?

Have you turned off ssid broadcast on your router ?

just a few things to try

hope you get it sorted and good luck

if all else fails try googling the error messages and see what comes back.

My ps3 wont connect to my routers wifi either. I have the same router as the op.

Have you tried connecting when there is no wireless security??

pabscars · 08-12-2009, 15:56

might be a port forwarding issue, have you tried sticking your ps3's ip into the dmz

dogswood · 08-12-2009, 16:22

It could simply be that you need to reboot you Modem, router and PS3 in the correct order.

So power down everything and wait 30 seconds,

1. switch on modem and wait for it to sync (30 seconds should do it)
2. switch on your router and wait for the light to settle ( 30 seconds again)
3. then switch on your ps3 and try to connect to your router as before.

Good luck

How far is the PS3 from the router? I find the PS3's Wifi to be a bit lacking in the signal department, possibly to do with the lack of an external aerial

dogswood · 09-12-2009, 11:04

I have thought about using a 25m ethernet cable to see if that will solve the problem.

I will alos give the power up option a go.

Thanks.

dogswood · 15-12-2009, 12:15

I have solved the problem with a 30m cable! Still haveing trouble with a laptop that will not conect using WPA2 secruity only has WEP and WPA on the settings.

At least the PS3 works.

Glad to hear your PS3 is now up and running, but the fact that your laptop wont connect using WPA2 suggest to me that you havent set up your wireless connection at all.

I could be wrong but have you tried any of the suggestions previously mentioned?

Have you turned SSID Broadcast off (in the router) which might stop any device seeing your wireless network.

Have you tried speaking to the router supplier's?

dogswood · 15-12-2009, 16:19

I can see the wireless network with the laptop and it connects however no page appears , I have tried also with the key that came with the router same result occurs, another laptop connects fine via the wireless. proximity to the router is not an issue I have the same results when i am in the same room.

Belkin the supplier didn't have an explanation , I was advised to keep trying and call back if not successful!!

pabscars · 16-12-2009, 07:46

Can you have a look in the windows wireless manager and see what your preferred networks are, I,m thinking out load and this might be wrong but you could try deleting/removing all the preferred networks.

Then you might be able to do a fresh scan for your wireless network.

Or maybe you need to do a hard reset of the router and start from scratch completely.

I,m no expert though, its just that for me last night I found someone had hacked my router and changed the SSID (WEP Key) and password so I couldnt connect wirelesly but I could via ethernet.

So I was wondering If the same might of happened to you.

I just held the reset button in on the back for 10 seconds which reset the router back to default and then input fresh details with a more secure password and hay presto it all works fine now.

Good luck
