AOL and PS3 = Fail

GregI · 20 Jun 2008 at 16:46

Afew days ago i was playing on MGO fine but yesterday and today have seen rather not singing into PSN(but getting a connection, done a net test on ps3 and it fails when it gets to the 3rd bit being PSN)

I have a suspicion for the disconnects that it is a diff MTU size i need to use since when going wireless the ISP is Opal Telecom and when wired the ISP is AOL.

Anyone here wireless with their PS3 and using AOL shoot some MTU sizes my way?

I just did a speedtest and now supposedly my ISP is Carphone Warehouse.

lolwut

But my wired connection still says AOL.

AOL own carephone warehouse don't they? or one of those type of firms.

Ah yeah just checked and they do.

I just really want to get this MTU size sorted out so i can play online.

I am using a Netgear DG834PN

It seems as if the Router is losing data packets.

People say the wireless is bad on this router but my signal strength is always above 85%

Ahh i have the same router and wireless doens't work at all with my PS3, it's a well known problem

But i don't understand this. I was gaming last week on it fine(on wireless) for a few hours and only yesterday and today is it giving me problems.

I did have to install a software update for the PS3 yesterday though. (2.36)

Try 1400

Allready on 1400

I'll keep turning down the MTU size.

Weird. I took my PS3 downstairs and it connected fine. Had a good time playing for about 30 mins before it dced.

Is there any option in the Netgear router page to extend the wireless signal?

I also put MTU to 1365
