help with PS3 connection

needhelp777 · 07-11-2008, 02:08 PM

I use a Netgear WGR614v7 wireless router to connect my playstation 3 to the internet. I usually have a 40% connection. This doesn't seem to be strong enough to play metal gear online because I can rarely make it through a round without getting disconnected. I figure that I should probably try to use a wired connection to get a stronger connection. There is only one ethernet slot on my DSL box. How can I connect my computer and my PS3? My computer is a floor below my PS3. Any suggestions on how to get a stronger connection?

You can use the cord that connects to the computer to the router. I dont have an PS3, i got a 360. But if i had an PS3 i would get the cord and put it in the ethernet port.

How can I connect my computer and my PS3?
I dont understand what you mean by that. Do you mean be connected at the same time?

Hi

you can use a router which has a several different ethernet ports so you can connect your computer and your ps3 at the same time.

post back for more questions.
