Well when your downloading, do you have other stuff going throught the router at the same time? Because thats what happened to me when minewas slow, but then I made it so that when ever I downloaded stuff nothing else is using the router, then my downloads finished 10x faster.

try to make sure that the DMZ feature is enabled in your router , most linksys modems have it, and forwarded to your ps3 IP. I've heard that if your connection type is 2, everythingis goning fine.

If nothing worked with you, maybeyour router is too far from your ps3.

good luck

i dont really know. but i do know the wifi in the ps3 kinda sux, range is really shortEuphanasia

WTF are you talking about? My downloads go really fast when I use wifi. Get you facts straight or get a better Internet connection.

IM wireless and get fast download speeds. you must have a slow connection.Tha_lazyboi

Same here!!! But my router is less then 15ft away....I guess it's a range issue.

Umm, PS3 downloads are slow as hell regardless of your connection...

...I've been downloading the GRAW2 demo for aboutan hour and a halfnow at 70%.

Wow it took me about 10 mins. For some reason my downloads go fast and then every once in a while they go slow. But mostly fast.

GET A BETTER ROUTER

(i bet your PS3 is getting a low signal also)

and since you say wirelessly I'm guessing you've tried it wired. It's not the PS3.

Well what I meant was that I wasn't going on the internet that is connected to my router while I'm downloading I didn't really mean that my router wasn't connected to anything, lol. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Just use a WIRED connection if you can. Much easier (if you have a cable nearby), and settings are simple, and no need to worry about interferences or slow connections with the router, as long as you have a fast connection. It's what I have hahaa :)PinoyRoy

^im not saying my downloads go slow, im saying it might be a range issue, its a fact the ps3 wifi range is rather short, i have a good signal with my laptop which is about 3 floors down, my ps3 has to be practicly on the same floor as the router.
