which wireless router? (PS3)

[cssreg]

I'm having trouble to decide which wireless router to get for my PS3. At the moment im using a wired Linksys ADSL2MUE ethernet modem but i want to share the internet from the PC to my PS3 in the living room (approx 15-20metres through a couple of walls). Trying to do my own research i found a lot of disgruntled consumers asking for help because the wireless router wouldnt work with the PS3 obviously i dont want to buy something that wont work, so if any of you currently own a PS3 and use a wireless router what type do you use and did you have any trouble setting it up? (im a networking noob so good lay man's terms are a bonus )


thanks and merry xmas

I have no idea which work and which don't, I think most of the problems with wireless routers are solved with PS3 updates.

I had problems in the past with enabling WPA protection but now it has worked fine for months ***touches wood***

I have a very cheap SMC wireless router so I also think it isn't that expensive ones work and cheap ones don't.

Merry Christmas to you too. You're posting rather early btw aren't you :O

My original router didn't work. After much, much googling I found out that 802.11b routers don't work too well with the PS3. So I got a 802.11g router. This one: Linksys WRT54GC - It's really good.

I used a linksys for a while on my PS3 but with a lot of traffic it used to just shutdown, now i have a belkin one and its fine. Most seem to be fine though and have used a netgear router also, think it was just my particular model of linksys giving me problems, as many use them linksys and have no problems with them at all.

Another vote for Belkin here

I have the belkin G+ MIMO Router an it does a fantastic job. PS3, 360 and a Laptop all at once allot of the time (Wireless)

I have never had as many problems with routers as I have with Belkin, utter rubbish.
I used a Linksys faultlessly with around 8-10 wireless devices on the network without any problems at all.
I also find Netgear make pretty good routers too.

I'd stay well enough away from Belkin though, I'll never buy Belkin products again.

i have two linksys routers. one budget, one 'enterprise class'. both of them half their faults. my wrt45g is restarting a lot, i cant stop it. my wrvs4400n has just completely dropped the wireless side. woooonderful.

linsys are great but arrrgh. they are driving me nuts. this belkin i have sitting here is the only thing that isnt giving me trouble atm

Agreed, it wasn't so much the hardware I had problems with, it was the software and user interface being totally useless. Thats with a range of Belkin products too.

I have a netgear Router and it works very well with the PS3 under wpa. It did however refuse to connect under WPA when I upgraded the firmware, so I had to reload the older more stable firmware.
Netgear would be my 1st choice If I was in the market for a new router, with Linksys a close 2nd

i use a netgear router. and up until yesterday (when i applied the update) it was pretty slow. But it was downloading very fast yesterday - im thinking 1-2mb a second but how do you check the details of the speed rate of transfer on the ps3?

How about keeping your current router and using a couple of those powerline jobies.
