-Noah- Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I have a D-Link DIR-655 wireless router at one end of my house and a PS3 at the other. The router is broadcasting a G signal and an N signal, but the G signal cannot reach the PS3 and the PS3 does not have wireless N capabilities. I am trying to find the best way to get my PS3 online. I would use the PS3's connection to browse the web and play games online as well as stream videos and music from another computer on the network. I have an old wireless G router which I think may help resolve my problem. I tried connecting this G router via an ethernet cable to a computer on the network. I then set up a bridge between the computer's wireless adapter, which picks up the D-Link's signal, and the G router. Through this method I was able to connect to the internet on the PS3 (the PS3 picking up on the old router's G signal, which works because the computer is closer to the PS3 than the D-Link router is), but the drawback is that the computer would have to be on all the time, which I don't think I'd want to do. What is the best way to accomplish this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can connect a wireless N bridge/router to the PS3's ethernet connection and link it wirelessly to your main router I believe http://playstation-3...2f0719860c.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Noah- Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Alright, I need some major help here. I have a Netgear Wireless N Router now, a WNR2000v2. How in the world do I set this up? I have it connected via ethernet to the PS3 but I have no idea how to set it up so that it picks up the D-Link's wireless N and provides the PS3 with internet and local network access. I tried connecting the Netgear to my computer and setting up Wireless Repeating mode, but I applied the settings and then I couldn't get access to the Netgear's settings anymore through my computer. Basically I don't know what I'm doing. I've looked online but nothing seems to describe how to set up an internet connection for a computer/PS3 in the way I need. Help please!

Jeston Veteran Posted June 20, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 20, 2010 With that setup you would need to set the Netgear up in bridge mode if it's supported in the default firmware. Setting it up as a repeatear would work as well, but you would not connect the PS3 to it via the LAN port, just via wireless. For help setting up a wireless repeater, see here.
