Hey, well I used to be the owner of an Xbox 360, and when using it the two computers that connect to my router wirelessly would disconnect / lag really bad, it was deffinitely the 360 that caused this, and was just wondering if anyone has had any similair problems using the PS3?

I have had it connected via WiFi for around an hour now and there seems to be no problems what so ever *touch wood*.

Not really. I will say though that wifi probably isn't the best way to connect (for me at least)

I've found it to be quite unreliable when gaming online or even downloading from the PlayStation store. (it could just be my very weak wifi connection)

I've found a wired connection to be much more stable.

But to answer your original question, I haven't experienced any interference at all even when downloading items on the PS3 and my networked PCs.

My router is only a metre away from my PS3 so the signal is perfect, I forgot to mention my 360 was using an ethernet cable straight into the router, so Im assuming the problem with that was a firmware problem. All seems good so far anyway =) seems to be worth the money

I ran a speed test on my wireless laptop, then ran one on my (wireless) PS3.. the PS3  speed was HORRIBLE (compaired to the wireless laptop). I hope it's just a software thing that can be fixed.  Connection strength also shows 100%.

 Isn't that to be expected? The download tends to use up most of the bandwidth to finish ASAP, and games like CS also needs enough bandwidth to stay stable.
