Just a quick one and tell me if I'm being thick!

BT have sorted our Broadband out and we are getting just under 8meg on the laptop and iphone's but the PS3 is only getting 3meg! I can't wire it to the home hub as the hub is in the hallway by the main phone socket.

It's an old 40g monster but does this make a difference

Homehub settings are correct and port forwarding is on for the devise

Any tips as I thought it would be quicker

Does sound odd as wireless should be able to keep up. The only thing I'd try is to plug it into the router and test that.

I think my newer shape PS3 gets more than that at home but I may be wrong.

Thats what I thought. I have now got the PS3 on top of the cabinet it was in (thinking maybe signal being blocked) and it's the same!

I can't wire it as hub is in the hall.

The upload is 500ish. Does this sound right? Laptop is 950!

Tralled the net and I've bought a 10m cable as it seems the only solution.

Good luck, keep us posted.

I have 2 fat PS3's and a slim, for some reason when using WiFi. The slim outperforms the fats by a massive amount. When downloading map packs for example, the slim has finished downloading and installing, before the fats have got to 10% download. No idea why as they should both be 801.11g

Can you do a Internet connection test on them and let me know if there is any difference?

From what I can see the internals are the same spec on fat and slim. There are lots of things on the net but most of them involve changing ip addresses and stuff which really we shouldn't need to do

I could never get my PS3 to work consistently over WIFI, mines an old fat 40GB model aswell. it always felt like it had an old 802.11b chipset in it!

I ended up hard wiring it in as i already had CAT6 running to a PC for the telly and its been good as gold since.

Have you tried homeplugs as always better than wifi. That said Ive had some issues with mine that I didnt realise so just run an extended Cat5 cable at the moment but will look to sort out some proper wall cabling at some point.

Yeah I did look at them but don't have 2 mains sockets (extension socket for ps3) for power. Lead should be here tomorrow so we shall see what happens!

What you should have done is use some ethernet over powerline adaptors.

Saves trailing wires round your home They work fine on extension leads, double adaptors etc etc.

Cable is here and in. 7.5 meg on the ps3 now which is the same as my wifi speed test on my iphone

Thought it would of been more but never mind
