I own a netgear WGR614v9 router.

I am using a wireles setup for my ps3 because my lan lines are filled.

My xbox 360 is wired and gets a super Fast connection.

My pc uses this same router and gets around a 20Mbps connection.

My ps3 is lucky to get between 1-3Mbps.

I have forwarded the ports and everything. Any ideas?

Maybe upgrade ur router's firmware, also setup manually ur ps3's wireless... i did those with my D-LINK DI-524 and it works fine, it downloads just as fast as my PC, using wireless too. I didn't forward any ports in it cause i just couldn't bother looking into that, still, works for me.

Perhaps pay Sonyfortheir BS.N+?

:lol:

Sorry... just couldn't say it with a straight face... but is this the dawning of their new age, where we who don't pay are made to feel as if we should? I can just see some corporate suit jockey sitting there conspiring... "Slow down the transfer speeds on that one, it's not a paid account..."

No, the wireless adapter built into the PS3 sucks. My 3 year old laptop gets 95% from my router while my brand new slim gets 75% from the same distance. It can only be one thing. Besides, we're talking about numerical download speeds, not perceived download times.

Is there an adaptor or something to use on the ps3 aside from the built in Wireless card?

I'm inclined to agree with The Zuner, all of my witty reparte aside. They had to dumb these things down and get the build cost as low as possible, I'm sure that included working with a wifi center that's none-too-strong. It's sound logic.

The router can make all the difference in connection speeds. Some D-Link and Linskey routers seem to do a much better job when connecting the PS3 to a network. There have been threads where people replaced there Netgear and ****** routers with very good results.

I have the same problem. I was thinking it's time for a new router.

It might be a long read, but I've got an entry in my blog that might help out.

Slow Wireless Performance.

If you get some time, give it a read. Might take you a few minutes, but hey, ya never know.

Nice beginners guide but I already knew that. I am hoping the problem comes along sooner or later.
