PS3 Networking Nightmare - Blu-ray Forum

I switched to this exact model of router over the weekend from a D-link, and got the same problem, but found a fix.

1. The first step is to give your PS3 a static Ip address. All the info you need to do so should be found on your computer by running command prompt and typing "ipconfig /all". Enter the DNS server and all the other info from there it asks for, but then pick the IP address yourself, make sure it is in range of what your router is set to, I went with 192.168.1.105, unless you have more than 4 computers that number would be fine.
Next
2. On the router setting page (192.168.1.1 in the internet address bar) under port forwarding, forward ports 80, 443, 5223, 3478-3479, and 3658 to the static IP address you gave the PS3.Give the forwards a name, any you wish.Be sure to check enable beside it.
3. Still on the router settings page go to "administration" then "management" and disable UPnP

You should then be fixed and the PS3 should tell you it is a NAT2 connection
forgive me for the lack of detail as I am at work right now and do not have the page in front of me.

Goodluck, any other questions feel free to post or send me a pm
