why does psn keep sgning m out. its soo anoying i cant even play cod4 online for one hour witout it saying conection interupted nd then signing me out. i ceked internet settings and im on 35-47% signal strength. is this the reason? i dont think it should be because im always on my laptop wireless and that also has 45% strenght, i never get disconected from that!. is this a IW server problem, psn server problem or my wireless problem?

help would be very appreciated:)

I have had this problem. It was mainly on CoD4, but since the Patch and the 2.20 Firmware Update I haven't encountered it.

However as far as I can tell it was some sort of compatibility issue between my Wireless Router and the PS3, because I've had problems with it before.

This worked for me. Updated router firmware, and removed WEP 128-bit hex encription to a lesser encripted WPA2 secutiry. Problem solved.

PS: The closer the router to your PS3 the better. 45% signal may be fine surfing the web, but playing online requires your signal to carry a lot of data back and forth. Weak signal is always bad.

This is what I did, and I haven't had a problem with randomly getting signed out since. Ok, here's what you do, go to Network Settings, then Internet Connection Settings, select Custom, then scroll over to where you can manually enter your IP address, Default Router, Subnet mask, and Primary and Secondary DNS. Change your Primary DNS to: 208.67.222.222 and change the Secondary DNS to: 208.67.220.220 I did this, and PSN has been great ever since I did. For those having trouble getting signed out, try this.

Make sure to also turn off your Media Share thing.

Try what Doolz said, and if that doesn't work, you need to have your PS3 closer to your router because you're just too far for it to establish a stable connection.

The PS3 browser may work fine from your distance, but the PS3 browser isn't constantly transporting data through wi-fi the way video games do.

Anytime the signal gets around 80% then there will seem to always be problems. My wireless signal stays between 90% and 100% constantly. The very best connection would be wired directly to the modem. I don't have much of a option because of the way wire would need to be run to reach the PS3.

i sometimes get the same problem because my connection is between 50-70% usually.I use a range extender and I find that when I start having problems I just move it to a new location and it works fine again. Wi-fi signals are very strange and unpredictable so they can been a pain sometimes.

well i have been having this problem for about 5-7 days now and found that it only happens when n while i play mw3 its only a guess but could it be that mw3 has been hacked and hackers have this option after seeing some of the hacks from mw2 or is it the fact that we the people have given hundreds of millions of dollers to mw3 owners and they still screw us with unreliable servers etc it can not be any issues with my router or modem as playing uncharted 3 online is fine and i never get signed out its only happening on mw3 unless they plan on doing this to everyone who probably gets accused of hacking the game as i find it hard to determine what is just lag of 1 hit kill eg 1 team usually has the better side of the server and therefore wins by a big point gap and i admit some of my games if i was on the other end of my gun would be rage quiting etc eg; shot n kill them no aiming above the knees and i get a headshot ? if it does keep happening ill just play uncharted 3 online or resistance 3 or bf3 n forget about supporting a game thats story mode is going downhill n not really that good to start with i bought them cause all my ps3 friends play online anyway thats my rant so to conclude i think its just mw3 issues as i have no issues with any other games or any other online uses my ps3 does

Im speaking from my experience but the ps3 does not work online below 50% which is a fact but if you want to increase your internet speed put a password on your router because every computer that shares the signal makes it lose the % so try putting a password so your neighbors dont use your connection on their laptops. As i stated before this happened to me my connection was 47-52 (barely worked) now its 72-85 so a password definitely helps. Ps: cod sucks up internet and can easily crash it damn blops
