What is up with my internet connection,router and Playstation 3?
Q. I have about 8 things currently connected to my internet connection right now, 4 Handphones,3 Computers and a Playstation 3. I play a lot of games on the PC and the Playstation 3. An annoying thing that always happens even though I keep on switching routers and modems is my router keeps on dropping and my internet connection gets terminated. I would have to reset/reboot my internet connection via router login. P.S, I do not switch my router and modem off at all.
A. There are plenty of reasons why your internet can drop frequently.
Common issues are faulty routers, or bad internet service. (ie: you may WANT to run 1000 things at once, but maybe you're not paying for a plan that allows you to do that)
Something you can actually do really quick that most people aren't aware of is Change your Channel!
Locating your Channel will be different based on the Router you're using to connect to the Internet, but it's all generally the same. (The Links/Wording may be different)
BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING, TRY CHANGING YOUR CHANNEL (GUIDE)
If you don't know how to connect to your Router, (and you're running Windows)
==>Click on Start > Accessories > Command Prompt
==>Type "ipconfig" (without the quotes["]) into Comman Prompt
==>The very first bunch of mumbo jumbo that pops up should display "Default Gateway" with a number similar to 192.168.1.1
==>Open up your Web Browser and enter in those numbers (as if you were typing in a typical URL, ie: Google.com. NOTE: Do not type "http://www.." Only the series of numbers)
==>This will bring up your router settings
==>If you've set up a user name and password, you will be asked to type this in before continuing. Often times, it's just blank for both fields or "admin" for either the username and password, or just the username, or just the password. I would highly suggest creating a username and password once you're logged in, if you haven't already done so. I'd also suggest remembering it.
==>Look for anything labeled "WIRELESS SETTINGS" Sometimes it's under "Home Network". Just keep clicking links if you have to until you find it. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING WHILE YOU'RE MESSING AROUND IN YOUR ROUTER IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
==>Once you've located your Wireless Settings, look for anything labeled "WIRELESS CHANNEL"
==>You should see a dropdown box
==>Select a new channel (usually channeled 1-11 will exist)
==>Note that 1, 7 and 11 are fairly common channels. Try to avoid these numbers.
==>Save your changes.
==>Close your browser when the changes are saved and re-open it.
==>If you notice the connection is still slow, attempt to change the channel one more time.
==>If everything is fixed, then viola~!
==>If not, contact your ISP

What router should I buy for my PlayStation 3?
Q. Please help me. I don't own a router, but I plan on buying one to set up my PlayStation 3 internet. I have one computer and it is at most 15ft. away from my PlayStation 3 through a wall. I do not plan on setting up any other computers or anything to the network, just my PS3. What router should I buy so I can share my PC and PS3 connection?
A. I suggest a 2wire just because of the ease of compatibility with the PS3. I got one for free from the phone company for the DSL, it never drops a connection with the Media Sharing, we stream movies and music all of the time. I have a Linksys connected via hard wire to the 2wire just to offer more hard wire ports. I would recommend the Linksys, as a second choice,but it does present some level of difficulty as far as connectivity to the media sharing. The media sharing drops from the network quiet often with this router, or at least it use to, this may have been fixed in a patch update. I have also set up ps3 with both DLink and Netgear routers. I would not recommend the Netgear, because it is not easy to set up for the novice user, plus my experience is that it seems relatively slower. The Dlink is not bad, but doesn't have the best range, if you are connecting wirelessly. Sense you can't buy the 2wire just anywhere, I would suggest the the Linksys over the other two DLink and Netgear. It is the easiest of the three two set up, and if you have to call tech support, you will NOT find a better company to deal with. (Cisco) Linksys is by far the nicest and most helpful company I have ever dealt with, they have knowledge and experience.
