Peoples ive sat for 3 hours trying to get my ps3 to do the business wireless, 90% sig strenth.

my problem is as soon as it tests connection it fails on the i.p address bit, ive got the correct details in there. does the ssic thingy effect it much, ive basically wrote speedtouch followed by the serial numbers, also proxy server ive not done anything in there????, its driving me banannas

where am i going wrong, it used to connect adges ago before i hard it hard wired, so my router should let it in etc, but iL be dammed to how it done it before.

 

have you got a pairing button on your router?

 

That make no sense lol.

Theres a fat round button on the front yes??

 

a button so the router can talk to the ps3

 

Hellllloooooo

Ehh?? i tried some aoss thing, and held the button in at one point but eff all happend, only thing that happened is it turned one of my 5 lights out on the router

 

You would be better hard wiring it,wireless connection sucks

 

turn your router off ..then ps3... give them both 5 mins to settle down

then turn you router on first .....give it 5 mins then turn on the ps3

you will get contact

 

rab i had this problem.tho i cant remember how i sorted it.let it find the ip automatically.theres a few choices as you go through the set up.you having to put in a security code(wep key)?il switch mines on just now and go through my set up.

 

the SSID is VERY important..lol it's the name of your wireless conenction, and is case seitive

just get the ps3 to search and find your wireless conenction, then enter the key, thats it

if your router is not broadcasting, then enter the SSID EXACTLY as it's written on the box

then enter the key

forget proxy, and IP will be automatic, unless you have accidentla clicked manual, if so, put it back to automatic (dhcp)

 

right here goes.on just now.network settings...(selecting a method-chose easy)
select a connection method (select wireless)
wlan settings_scan_itl come up your hub name.in my case bthome hub and signal strength.
my ssid was the hub name the screen before.
next is security settings-choose wpa-psk/wpa2-psk
will come up asking you for wep key_enter passkey that came with your hub on a card.
next is ip adress-i choose automatic

 

rab first of all i chose wep as my security setting and entered my passkey and when it came to it my ip failed.i then chose the security setting above and it worked fine.

 

choose auto ip address and it will pick it up pal

 

cheers guys im onto it just now, my eye balls are red with this lol
not played cal of duty for at least 4 months

 

Guys guys guys

Still no joy doing all of above, automatic i.p address it finds nothing, just fails at first hurdle, i give up

 

when you go to connect just auto select eveything untill you see your network selection pop up, enter the address make sure its right as above it is case sensitive. click okay should do the rest pal for you

 

Tried that mate, ive done it manually and auto, i have defo the right numbers in etc, i think iL just need to look into getting hard wired, its a pain as when i get a lap top i can sit my router at my ps3 in living room as i have a line behind my t.v.

Meanwhile im in my spare room on this computer with router here next to me. doh!

 

if it's not getting an ip address, the KEY is probably worng

rememeber its CASE SENSITIVE

 

mine never used to work on my netgear router but as soon as i changed my router it worked

 

I know mate, its in capitals i am doing it, whcih is the same as the serial numbers on the bottom of my router.
thanks

 

you best to log on the router and check the key is correst,

it's not normally the serial number thats the key, there is probably

SSID
security key
serial number

 

I have

SSid> speedtouch followed my some numbers
wep(hex) 2672C7E6F5
wpa (same as above)

Now when i go through to the test bit at the end, it comes up failed then a error code 8013013d ???

I also tried changing the wep code for the actual serial number printed on the router, but still no joy.

thanks again

 

The wep code is a password you need to create yourself to stop neighbours or someone sat out your front with a laptop from accessing your wireless network. Do not use WEP but go with WPA which is more secure than WEP.

Here is how my security is set up on my Belkin router

 

what make router you got?

 

thomson st2585 v6 speedtouch.

so let me get this straight, at the bit it asks for the wpa key or whatever i put in my own password??? not the serial number adj the wpa bit underneath my router

 

you enter the wpa on the router

that dont make sense

not the serial number adj the wpa bit underneath my router
