Hello,
I live in an apartment complex that provides wireless internet via Linksys wireless router. I just recently purchased a Playstation 3 that uses wireless. My connection speed is at 30% because the walls are brick and the signal just doesn't come through all that great. Is there any kind of wireless internet receiver or something that is made for PS3 that will pull in that wireless internet signal stronger so that I will have a better internet strength? I am looking for something that I can either plug in to the PS3 or something I can set up in my apartment without having to connect directly to the wireless router itself.

Any advice/help is appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Brandon

I've owned a ps3 for 2 years now, and have so many stories with it, that i could go on for hours... but no there is not a way to increase ur internet speed for the wireless. your best bet is to either get an ethernet, or, go down to circut city, lol preferably cause there going mout of biz, and buy a wireless reciever and set up so it recieves from the other reciever. I personally use wireless, and i have it about 30 feet away, and get 100%, so ya....

So, when you say to get a wireless receiver, do I have to buy the same brand/type as the wireless router that my apartment complex uses? I'll do some more research on my own. Thanks for your answer! Those screen names that you told me to add...those your PS3 screen names?

Thanks for your reply. It turns out this whole time that my internet through this apt complex is DSL going through a linksys wireless router. I think my lags and disconnections are because of the DSL. I was thinking it was cable but noooo. I think I'm just out of luck. I tried using a range expander which gave me 100% signal, but I still have the same problems online. I guess cable or fios is the only reasonable answer for me!
