Is this the signal strength in game (to the game server) when you're online or the wireless strength to the router?

[paulc]

usually either i carn't get online or if im online gaming it will cut out and say server error (witch is really annoying) so i am guessing it's the server being shite ? but my laptop works fine ?

[mdb_75]

Could be.

In the ps3 settings menu it tells you the signal strength to the wireless router somewhere, see how strong it says it is. Maybe try a wired connection if you can?

[paulc]

ye thats what i've been looking 1 min it will be at 60% then go down to 15% then back up again then will just disconnect carn't try a wired connection

Try deleting your connection and reconnecting

[mdb_75]

Yeah switch the router off and start again. If you can't try a wired connection can you move the router and the ps3 closer together temporarily just to see if it's any better?

[paulc]

thats what i have been doing turning the router off it works ok for so long then goes back to how i have described and the router is only about 3m away from the ps3 but it is through 2 walls

[mdb_75]

I'm out of ideas then!

What's your mw2 username, I'll add you if you don't mind?! Been playing most of the day and I was the host most of the time.

[paulc]

I know it has nothing to do with this thread but regarding signal stregnth 3 mobile SUCK.



Rant over.

My livebox did keep losing the connection to orange a month or so ago, that was down to my old phoneline extension leads and/or connections. I've now got the router directly into the main phone socket instead of miles away from it and all is now good. If you laptop's ok though it shouldn't be that.

I was to start with, but with practice you get better, especially if your ps3's the host........

3 mobiles ace been with them about 5 years not a problem with signal strengh

Might sound stupid but check the aerial in your router is still screwed in ok, mine had worked loose somehow probably hoovering around it or something.

[paulc]

ye i check that earlyer all fine

Have you thought about one of the ethernet via mains options?

Just gone to that in our flat for my pc...much more stable and 200mbs connection. My ps3 is connected via wire directly to my router so can't comment on gaming via it, but my pc is now connected via the mains ethernet connection and it's loads better! Stable and faster than my wireless.

I have this....CLICKY!

Maybe not the cheapest solution, but seems rock solid so far from what I've asked it to do.

[paulc]

your not kidding about not being the cheapest solution but if it does the trick it them maybe it's the way to go

anybody else use one of these

cheers paul
