How Good is The PS3's Wi-Fi Access?

Hi

How good is the PS3 at picking up Wi-Fi connections?

I am upstairs and my router is downstairs so I was wondering whether I would need a booster, or would the PS3 be able to pick it up (with a decent signal) on it's own?

Thank you.

Its fine

the actual wifi itself is ok for picking up but i think the actual speed of it in the ps3 is rubbish, it takes along time for downloads through wireless on the ps3 and actually through wired on the ps3 but my pc wireless is so far superior, i tested this thoery wen i ran the test on the ps3 for both wireless and wired, and it was alot lower then my wireless speed on my pc. very strange. but it is a good enough speed for gaming.

It's going to depend on several factors. Distance from router, thickness of walls, quality of the router itself, strength of your internet connection, etc, etc, etc. Mine works excellantly, but I have a good router and the PS3 isn't terribly far from the router, plus my walls are like paper.

[QUOTE="PcGamingRig"]you mean it will go through several walls to pick up a connection?

Simple, router is at bottom of stairs, PS3 is at the top of stairs in a room which is directly infront, so it gives a line-of-sight pretty much

When I lived in a house with the ps3 downstairs(basement) and the wifi router up stairs I was lucky if the connection could even be seen in the list of connections.

its good for me, i have my ps3 in my room and my own router in my room. We have 3 routers in are house cause we need them, we have a pretty big house. But i get 100% wirless cannection and wired for my pc right next to it.

My PS3 Slim's is quite good, better then the wireless card in my PC anyway
