Playstations wireless networking?

One thing that occurs to me is that when my PS3 kicks on, it kicks anything and everything else off the network. They reconnect fine, but it's kind of weird, and it sucks in some cases (such as when I'm watching a movie on my PS3 but downloading a demo on the 360 or torrenting on my pc).

Anyone ever had that occur?

Yep, that's why you assign each computer it's own unique static IP address.. Your router tends to try to assign IP addresses to devices that are already in use, which disconnects them. What happens then is all the IP addresses are trying to get reassigned. If you have your computer, 360, PS3 set to assign IP address automatically (in any combination) that is what is causing the temporary disconnect. By assigning the PS3, your 360, and your computer their own unique static IP address then there will not be a conflict because you've taken that logic away from the router.

If you assign static IPs to all of your devices and are still experiencing this problem then you do have a bad router. I've been using a Linksys WRT54G for about 5 years now and have never had a problem with lag, connections, conflicts, etc... but I may have just been lucky to get a good one.

They have static IPs assigned by me already. I have the same router you do, and mine is a couple of years old- so it's not the crippled newer WRT54G's. I'm not running any custom firmware on it, however.

I suppose it's possibly the router but I never had this problem prior to my PS3. My two wireless pc's, my Zune, and my 360 all connected fine (and still do). Only my PS3 does this.

I use a signal booster for my router. Actually, I have an old Airport express, and the new Airport Time Capsule. The Time Capsule is the main router, and the express uses the signal from the TC and relays it farther. That way i get signal throughout my house and it is all 70% or better.
Also make sure your network isn't lagging/bogged down. It is secure? Someone else could be using it if not.
I have a Wii, a PS3, an iMac, a PSP, 2 iPhones, 3 laptops, and a partridge in a pear tree all registered with my network, with address filtering, as well as having it closed, and I have no problems with it at all!
Everything works great so I never have to worry about loosing signal strength.

This is the walk through for thoes that have a WRT54GS. http://www.pregamelobby.com/forum/so...-your-ps3.html Some games ask for different Ports to be opened just for them. Most game manuals have the ports that they request to be opened in the manual/hand book.
