CAGiversary!
i just bought a ps3...came in the mail a few days ago and i just hooked it up last nite. everything seemed like it was gonna work okay...i scanned for a wireless connection...it picked it up. i downloaded the network update. downloaded 1 demo...had 3 more in queue. then all of a sudden it just dropped the connection.
i tested it...it said 'no access point found'. i went over to my router and all the lights looked fine...went back to my ps3 and nothing found again. i turned on my computer to even see if the router was working and it looked like there was 'limited activity or no connectivity' one of those. so i unplugged my router's power supply for a few seconds and plugged it back in. i was able to use the internet on my computer so i figured the router's okay now.
i went back to my ps3, but i cannot pick up a connection when i scan for wireless access point. i have the linksys WRT54G. that router was recommended to me for the xbox 360 and everything worked fine. it just seems like the ps3 is having a problem with this. i've searched google and it looks like others have problems with this too.
can anyone provide a fix for me? other than getting another router...i swear i just got that one and it works fine for everything else including my psp.
also whenever i try to test my connection now, it freezes and just has that little vortex in the top right hand corner. so i have to just shut down the system with the controller. then it takes awhile and sounds like it's mad at me and then finally turns off.
