I have had my PS3 for nearly a year now and never had any problems up until the 2.50 update. After the update my PS3's wireless internet connection tanked. I used to run at around 90-100% internet connectivity, but after the update I was lucky to be at 37%. Unfortunately, after the 2.50 update I was not able to connect to the PSN without being signed off in about 5 minutes due to my lack of connection. Needless to say I wasn't able to play online games with the connection I was getting. I tried nearly everthing I could think of to try and fix the connection but I wasn't able to improve it until the 2.52 update came out. Once the update came out I immediately transfered the update info from my PC to my PS3 in hopes that it would fix my connection and to my amazement it did (or so I thought):?. For two days the 2.52 update brought my online connectivity up to about 60-100% and I was actually able to sign in to my account and play online. Yesterday however my internet connection tanked yet again. My current connection is now at about 17%. It sometimes says its at 100% but for no more than 3-4 seconds at a time and it more often says no connection can be made. Now I cannot sign on to my online account at all. This is really frustrating because one of the main reasons I bought my PS3 was for the free online play, but now I can't even get online. My computer hasn't had any connection problems at all so I don't understand why my PS3 is having problems.

What can I do to fix my connection??? (BTW a wired connection won't work for me because my ethernet cable barely reaches and it gets in the way of everything if I try to hook it up.)

Thanks for any answers :)

Sounds more like your modem is bugging out, not your ps3. (Or your router, whichever).

The actual update won't affect it's hardware performance at all...make sure there's nothing wrong with your router/modem.
