I just want to see if anyone else has had this problem, and if anyone has a solution.
Up until last night I was using a wireless connection for my PS3. Whenever I'd turn on my PS3 it would automatically connect to the PSN, which it should be doing. The issue is that once I went into the PSN store it would disconnect me after a few seconds of browsing. I'd reconnect and go back in and everything would be fine.
For games, the same thing. I'd start up the game while connected to the PSN, and 8 or so seconds later it'd give me an error and tell me I was disconnected. If I chose to go and play online it'd reconnect me, and everything would be fine.
It would also interrupt the internet in the rest of the house everytime it connected. My wife will be playing an online game and as soon as I turn my PS3 on it'll disconnect her.
So it doesn't sound like a big deal since I can still play online and browse the PSN store, it's just kind of annoying for me and my wife. Well the real issue is downloading game updates and downloadable content in general. For game updates it will often take me 9 or 10 attempts to get a game to download a new update, because every time I choose to download the update it disconnects me and doesn't try to reconnect so it just hangs at 1%. Eventually I'll get lucky and it'll hold it's connection until it's done downloading. For downoadable content from the PSN store for instance, it'll take forever and a day to download 600megs when I know full well I have about an 800k connection with my cable on my PC.
I originally just thought it had something to do with my wireless connection, since it was only at about 70% most of the time. So I went on the internet and ordered 50 feet of networking cable and wired my PS3 right to my router. I was excited last night when I turned my PS3 on, ready to see these issues go away. I signed into the PSN store to download a demo to test the download speed...disconnected after 5 seconds. I reconnected, and started to download a demo. Again, it ticked maybe 1% every minute. I put in Drake's Fortune to download the trophy update, and it took me even more attempts to get it to do it's thing than it took me with my wireless connection.
Anyway, I'm pretty frustrated with all of this. When I play online I have no lag or anything like that, and once I'm connected in a game it doesn't drop on me. Just curious if anyone has a solution.
you would have to reconfig your network settings so its not using Wireless if your using Ethernet cable. It could be something wrong on Sonys side, I didnt play PS3 last night so I cant say everything is fine on my end. I wont know until 11PM eastern.

Yeah, I already reconfigured my network settings:(
I'll try that when I get home. Why do you think that will help though? Just curious.Amaranthix
The Info Bar gave me lag and freeze issues from Day 1. Media Server consistently knocked me off PSN when I was on the XMB and wreaked havoc on my other devices' internet connections. I discovered all of this after going through everything from router firmware updates to putting my PS3 in DMZ.
