Dear Sir,

All you will have to do is to reset the router!

Locate the reset button on the router, press it to reset

Or you just have to remove the power cable and plug it back after 1 minutes

This will solve your problem

Thanks

If you want to connect 2 PS3, you would only need a crossover cable. (look similar to an ethernet cable, but colored different specifically green) Anything more than 2 PS3's you would need a router.

It sounds you may have a firewall on your router preventing you from finding the other PS3. check the router settings. sometimes they come default from factory with firewall enabled.
