Ever since i bought my ps3 on launch day. It has always given me problems. Playing online, downloading updates, and patches, is always been an headache. Recently I just tried to download the GTA4 patch and keeps getting stuck at 7-10 percent range. It always gives me an error message like i know what those numbers mean. Im running it through the Linksys router. I dont know if the router is the problem. My Xbox 360 never gives me these problems. I have both running through the same router. Does any one have any ideals? It will be greatly appreciated.

Modem or Router problems.

Did your forward your ports through DMZ? Disable media server? Disable message board thingy?

Mine was doing the same (slow downloading/disconnects) until I replaced both modem and router, then everything went well. (People also had similiar problems and replaced their modem/router and everything was fixed. I rarely have any disconnects.)

It could be something else

couldnt tell you for sure but the last guy sounds right and it sounds like what alot of people have said...most problems with ps3-connection is the internet or the router or modem...check them all out...make sure u got the proper ports open...if u really get stuck just call Sony...they will talk u through what u need to do to get it to run properly

Did you import your PS3 from a different region?

If you did, that causes problems a lot of the time since patches are sometimes region specific via PSN.

I think its the router. I connected the cable modem directly to the ps3 and it works like it should, thanks.
