have similar problem in the evenings. Do a speed test on your connection and it will probably be well down compared to what you are paying for.
Eircom are sending out someone but I know it will make no difference.

Wired will be generally 100Mbps where as the wireless will be 54Mbps.
Shouldnt really matter depending on distance from wireless router.
If its right beside your playstation then wired all the way. ! Fact

M cebee

thanks
i'm having trouble with tversity on the wired connection(dlna errors)

i think it's a settings issue

so i'll have to stay with wireless for now

I was the same as this, on a 3mb line getting about .5mb. Rang up, a few fob-offs then some proper troubleshooting and eventually arranged for a technician to call out. wasn't expecting much but it is absolutely flying it now. getting about 2.5mb on the playstation wireless and not a bother on it

M cebee

im on 7 meg.the pc is wired to router and speed is good

on the ps3 wired or wireless browser speed is slow?

ronanc15

On a 7mb connection hardwired it defo shouldnt be slow. Not sure where to start but doublecheck all the settings on the ps3.

If it works perfectly on the pc/laptop, chances are the issue is somewhere with the ps3

M cebee

pages are slow to load wired or wireless

dunno what settings i could check most of it's 'auto'

i just assumed browsing was meant to be slower on ps3

ronanc15

Ah i suppose its not its primary function so....

Could be interference from neighbouring access points on your wireless or could be a dodgey cable from your wired side.
Also depends on your provider or your router !

M cebee

could be. i crimped the cable myself

ill check it with a short lead when i get a chance
