Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Also, people have some funky names for their networks!

You mean funky named ESSID's? Here are a few that I'm looking at right now:

PEKEFACE
SANDYG
LINKSYS (way to change the default - no surprise, but it's also WIDE OPEN)
SCHUMANN
SOUFOAKLIN
ROVER

I named mine "The 2K Virus". I figure, no one is even going to try with that name

I'm here to pimp grip shift, get this game. For 9 bucks, you get a 125 complex puzzle solving racing maps, it gets difficult as you progress with a lot of goals on 1 track. The tracks are insane they are suspended in the air nestled near or above the clouds over beautiful 720p graphics running at 60fps. Tracks have loops, ramps, drawbridges, just a whole host of things. You can customize your vehicle with different skins, and yes there is more than one vehicle.

The online experience is great, up to 4 racers on a track, on mind bending turns, picking up weapons firing them at one another as it progress from track to track in a series of races.

If I knew you guys, I would let you down load it to your PS3 for free, its that good of a cheap fully fleshed out single/multi player game.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

dony know is this was posted in here, I don't wanna look through the whole thread, but I was having issues with connect to the PS3 network through my router, I'm using a Linksys wirless B router, and I kept getting disconected every 15 seconds and then conntected and disconeted and so forth, I found a fix over at Playstation.com forums, In order to stop this issue, "You have to go into the router settings and turn OFF Broadcast my SSID, I did this and man My PS3 works flawless online now, it works great.

Hope this helps some of you.

How do you go into the router settings and turn off "broadcast my ssid?" Also, how do you disable DHCP? I have the Linksys WRT54GS wireless G. I go into the set up software and can't seem to find how to disable the broadcasting of my name.

you have to type in your router IP in the address bar and the you can change it under the setting you see there.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Thanks Football. I figured it out a few days ago. I changed all that, but my signal still stinks (goes between 40% and 60%). I may go buy a range booster today. This is driving me nuts.

did you set the security on it, and a wep key? If it's only you using you should have a stronger signal.

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

Yep, I set security (WEP). It's only me using it and my signal is still terrible. The router is about 60 feet away and two rooms over from where my PS3 is. I just don't understand it. The signal should be way stronger.

Is your router a B or a G?? I know the distance away from the router really matters when you are using a G router, the B routers you can be a lot further away than the G routers.. 60 feet away may just be too far away for you router... Also depends on your brand of router...

I know at my moms house she has one of those newer Netgear crappy Routers and she can barely get a good signal when she is 30 feet away, but at my house I have a Belkin B router and have an excellent signal at over 50 feet away all the time..

Re: Playstation Network and discussion

I have a G. I have the Linksys WRT54GS. Yep, G signals don't have as much range as B. Maybe that's the problem? Is anyone else using a G and having any probs? What Belkin B router do you own? I may try it out.

I have a B router maybe thats why I haven't been having issues.
