PS3 Wireless

I changed my router security from WEP to WPA after I was told that WEP is just so insecure, but now my PS3 refuses to connect to the wireless router!

Its a netgear DG834G with the latest 1.30 firmware. I can get my MacBook, iTouch and pc to connect to it, the PS3 just won't have it. Any Ideas please, I'm getting very annoyed! :mad:

UPDATE:

WEP works fine, my wpa passkey is 8 digits, why does it work fine with everything except my PS3 arrrghhh

Thanks for the help. My router is in b/g mode.
If I can't get it working soon. then WEP and static IP's for each of my wireless devices seems like my only option. Sony need to sort this out soon. WEP has been proven to be quite useless, yet you cant use WPA

Version 4.01.30 is my firmware, the latest for non USA units and its a version 3
I will have another mess around tomorrow, but I think the 'fault' lies at sony's door.

My router is fine for 2 pc's, a macbook and an iTouch. The PS3 only connects in WEP or no security mode.

I might phone the netgear premium rate support number tomorrow, see if they know of issues with PS3's. If they tell me its a common problem with the PS3 then at least I can stop wasting my time and switch to WEP then buy another router!

I could call sony, but I expect their tech support next to useless.....about as much use as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest"
