PS3 WiFi Problem

[PaloPolo]

Hey folks,

I got a problem with my PS3...
I moved a few weeks ago and wanted to connect my PS3 today, but it won't work...
It says the connection works fine (when I test it) and is active, but whenever I try to connect it, it says it needs a system update, I start it and then it always fails at different points - sometimes I get to the download and it gets a disconnect error during it, sometimes I don't even get that far.
The connection should be fine - I'm using the WiFi all the time with my laptop and normal PC and there are no problems at all.

I got a Japanese special edition, but that shouldn't be a problem
I tried to disable the streaming options but still no success.
In my old flat I had it hard wired to the router but I can't do that here anymore since the router is on a different story ...
Kinda desperate by now - any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I'll try that ...
Still doesn't work and it's getting really frustrating.
It worked at my old place, though (was hardwired to the router there)

Is there an error code?

yes, it's 80710102 and it says dns error
"Funny" thing is, though, that I get the error at different points - sometimes it connects and starts to DL the system update but doesn't finish before I get the error, sometimes I don't even get that far.

have you tried to disable the security or change the channel broadcast just to see if it works? i used to get drop outs on the useless virgin router that i had

I'm not sure how to do that...
I got a Belkin N Wireless Router, but it's not been configured manually in any way since we got it (which was like 4 years ago)
If I have to update anything please let me know how ... total network n00b, sorry.

I would set the PS3 up next to the router and see if the wireless works then. If it does, then it would seem it's down to the range of the router.

I tried that, still doesn't work :-/
same error...

Thanks a lot, guys, I'll do that!

@snarlos:
How do I switch it back?
What will it change?
I don't want all the laptops and PCs acting up then just so my ps3 works ^^
