PlayStation 3 / Router experts ... ?


Recommended Posts

A PlayStation 3 can not access the Guest wireless network.

 

Several PS3 port changes were made and Upnp enabled, so that isn't the problem.

 

 

There is a error about LAN settings.

 

Does anyone know what may need changed here on the router to allow the PS3 internet access ?

 

Thanks for any help.

UPnP has nothing to do with connecting.  So do other devices connect to this guest network?  Where did you come up with that IP and range? Is that the default - what is the normal network?

 

Are you running on 2.4 or 5ghz - does the ps3 see the guest network?  Did you try it with actual PSK vs open?

According to the PlayStation help Forum, Upnp must be Enabled.

The Guest network is wide open with no passwords or security set.

 

Other devices work fine, as far as has been reported to me.

 

2.4 gigs of course.

 

The PS3 itself throws up an error msg/code about the LAN access.

"According to the PlayStation help Forum, Upnp must be Enabled."

NO it doesn't - not to get access to the network. If you want your router to auto forward ports, then yes UPnP can do that for you vs doing them manually. But that has NOTHING to do with actually connecting to the wifi and local network or even talking to the internet. All that has to do with the type of nat ps3 will show you, etc.

Did you try using it with a PSK? What are the actual settings in the PS3 for the network. Was it using psk before, and that has not been cleared? Does the ps3 connect to the normal wifi network and not the guest?

When trying to connect from the PS3, are you trying to "Auto Connect" where the PS3 kinda handles grabbing the IP address, DNS, etc...

 

Or are you trying to manually setup, where you put in IP, DNS, MAC?

 

Can the PS3 and network at least see each other.  "Detecting network successful"?

A long time ago, in order to get my PS3 working with PSN, I had to forward the following ports.

 

TCP 443

TCP 80

TCP 5223

UDP 3478-3479

UDP 3658

 

You should be able to find your router here, with specific instructions for the PSN

As stated before, It throws up Error 8013013E.

 

Will not connect to the Guest wi-fi.

 

I may try entering in manual settings on my neighbor's PS3.

 

I do think this problem is on his machine.

If you're trying to connect your PS3 via WiFi, and it displays the 8013013E error, try the following:

If you keep getting the error while you're sure about having the correct WEP settings set and (in case you're using MAC authentication) you've added your PS3's MAC address to your WiFi router/access point. Then look to the 'Authentication Type' setting of your router/access point.

The PS3 will only connect via WiFi if the 'Authentication Type' setting of your router/access point is set to 'Open (System)' (=also the safest setting) or 'Both' / 'Auto'. Just make sure you don't set the 'Authentication Type' to 'Shared (Key)', because this won't work for the PS3.

Note: After you've set the correct 'Authentication Type', you might need to adjust the settings of other WiFi devices in order for them to work properly with the new router/access point setting.

Good luck!

PS: The easiest method to verify wether the 'Authentication Type' setting is causing the error, is to temporarily disable all other authentication functions (e.g. WEP, MAC authentication) of your router/access point. If your PS3 can't connect even with those functions disabled, then you can be pretty sure it's time to look at the 'Authentication Type' setting of your router/access point.
