Do you guys get randomly disconnected from PSN? When im browsin the internet or doing something on the menu, it can sometimes randomly sign me out. And its escpecially painful when im writing a long message to a friend with my ps3 controller... >_>

but when i play games, im connected the whole time. its kinda weird. i dont really care since i can play online perfectly, but im just curious if its just me. i think my connection strength varies from like 65%-75% most of the time.

i think thats the problem xD

When I am pulling 50 to 60% I get it once and a while. When I move my system to the other room and pull 95 to 100%, I never do. *shrugs* I assume it is the signal cutting out....

SOme routers need to have the broadcast turned off. There is an option that says "Broadcast SID every X mins". SOmetimes, when it broadcasts, the PS3 disconnects. Give it a shot, might work.

When you go to input your Wired/Wireless settings, Just do a quick scan for Wireless (You should find the host name, Might be the default router/modem name or whatever custom name you picked)

It tells you the % signal strength, hope this helps.

I run around 75-85% thats from Living room to Bedroom distances about maybe 15-20 feet

Thank you for your help i will check this evening, do you think my my connection being lost during MOH is due to my router or do you think it is the Playstation Network?

I experience short periods of sporadic disconnects. It usually lasts a few minutes or hours, but has persisted as long as a couple of days. It happened about once a month when I first got the console in March, but I moved in June and have only had it happen maybe once or twice since then. I would guess it's probably an issue with your signal strength.

I dom sometimes yes, but I'm using next door's wireless connection, not to mention my pc is upstairs and the houses are detatched.
I never get disconnected when I use a wired conenction through my PC to next door's, I think it's the PS3.

Maybe is your router, keep away from the big router brands, I got one from ZyXEL brand wich I never heard before, but with the reviews I couldn't go wrong, man, after 8+ months I never experience a single drop of connection.

That works fine, but it's a little bit easier to just go to Network Status (or something like that... top line under Network Settings)

disable the media server in your ps3 network settings. or it might just be in system settings.
