Any reason why a PS3 could be f'ing up my wifi network? Every time my roommate gets on the internet with his PS3, I lose the internet (as in my computer not picking up the home network, when a second earlier I had a perfect connection).

Is he doing online gaming? He could be taking up so much bandwidth that you can get any traffic through.

by **kruker** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:45:26

I'm pretty sure he's just been using the browser. Anyway to limit the bandwidth on the PS3 or am I going to have to kick him in the head the next time the bases are loaded with no outs and my internet kicks off only to come back on with the Phillies down 4-0?

Isn't there a theoretical limit to how many devices can be connected to certain types of Type G routers?

I did a google search, and came up with a couple of things to try...

*assign a static IP to the PS3 (negotiating for the IP address is causing the probelm)

*see if you can hard-wire the PS3 to the net

*turn off media center in the PS3

*compatibility issue with the wireless router

I've had similar problems when my brother would connect with his xbox. Usually, if I just assigned a new IP to my laptop the problem would be fixed.

Thanks MrsVox and Marion. I've got to figure something out, because it just happened again while reading this page.

ya, i bet the ps3 and your computer are using the same IP address

by **kruker** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 14:00:45

So what's the simplest solution? Change my IP address?

by **Bucky** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 14:07:30

not only change your address but whole hog witness protection program

Trying to follow the instructions on a few different how to pages, but failing miserably at this.

Daj had open heart surgery!!??!? Wow, best of luck and a speedy recovery to you, sir.

by **TenuredVulture** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 14:46:54

Yeah, Daj. I hope they sent you home with good meds. Kind of sobering when someone I know younger than me has a for real surgery.

by **pacino** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 16:00:48

I'm sure he'll be OK

by **TenuredVulture** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 16:22:09

Just so long as he doesn't pull a Meatball.

by **CalvinBall** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 16:27:18

what did happen to that guy?

by **td11** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 17:09:20

by **Barry Jive** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 20:48:29

best wishes, daj

that beerfest was like a BABIP convention
needless to say this vacation is meeting any and every expectation. going out as soon as my buddy gets out the shower, seeing THE HOLD STEADY TOMORROW on the most beautiful lake i've ever seen and then--a last-minute addition to the itinerary--going to Cooperstown on Monday morning. holy poop.

after i finished drinking at the beerfest, i stood on the shore of Lake Cayuga and turned to my friends, and i couldn't do anything but smile. lots of terrible crap happening to people, here, at home, everywhere, and yet moments like the ones i had today make it all go away, if only for a short time.

i wish you all the best. obviously i'm in a good mood right now, but i can't help but love (and i'm not using that word lightly) all of you.
