Hello,
With my provider (Sky Broadband) I got a Sagem 2504 router as standard. The wireless range on it however is not that great for online gaming though.
I have an Ethernet connection directly to my PS3 using a powerline adapter. This one to be precise, the 'TP-Link PA411KIT AV500 500 Mbps Powerline Adapter'.
This works fine for my PS3 providing a stable connection. But I'd also like to use Skype on my PSVita to talk to my friends while we play. But the Vita only has a wireless connection, and connecting straight to the Sagem proves unreliable.
So I now, instead of having an Ethernet cable go straight from the TP Link plug to the PS3. I have it go into a Netgear 'N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router', with a cable then going to the PS3, while the Netgear provides a new wireless connection point for my Vita.
But with this setup, I often find myself lagging out of online games, I assume due to a slow connection.
I'm not 100% sure that I have set the Netgear up correctly. A friend borrowed it for sometime, and I don't know if they altered it's settings to be used in bridge mode or not.
All I did was connect the 'In' Ethernet and the 'Out' Ethernet both into the LAN ports on the back of the router and it seemed to work.
I'm not tech savvy enough to understand all the lingo so, finding posts on other forums mentioning acronyms I have no understanding of sort of throws me off.
So can anyone help.
Thank you in advance if anyone can.
