Question Wireless connection. What Settings get best results

Hi everyone.

I've been online with my PS3 for almost a year now but my wireless connection is suddenly giving me all kinds of trouble.

I'm using a Belkin N Router, but I am lucky to get above 60% signal strength at the moment. And i am constantly being signed out of PSN.

I'm not icredibly savvy when it comes to setting up a wireless network, All I know is I am using Channel 11.

Anybody who could provide the optimal settings for wireless networking on PS3 would be VERY much appreciated.

open a DMZ for your PS3 if you haven't done so first. then make a parabola for one of the antennas (of both) on your router.

print out this template and assemble it. you'll jump up to 100% wifi strength easy. i was getting 25% if i'm lucky before the parabola on my G router. now it doesn't drop below 57%

Thanks for the assist guys. At least a couple of people replied

I think I've sorted it now. Regularly getting about 75% signal.

No a friend of mine just changed the channel of my router from 11 to 6. The signal strength just soared.
