Hey i'm having serious problems with connecting my PS3 to my net I've done it before But now it's stopped working I've tried disabling my fire wall for both my pc and my router I've also changed the settings for the WEP and WPA (I'm on orange broadband[England] so it allows me to change between them) And my PS3 says it can find my internet and says its between 80% to 100% But it either tells me to check the security settings for the wireless LAN, or that when it trys to obtain my IP that the connection times out I'M SO FRUSTRATED! Please help me someone!
Try this: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/610541 If that doesnt work, try a wired connection to see if that works. Preferably the system should use a wired connection anyway to avoid signal loss and or ping issues (causes bullet lag in online games).
Ok i tried what it said on the guide But now its saying i should change the security setting for the wireless LAN. so does that mean i should disable the WEP Can any one explain?
No you should never disable your security. You don't want to have an open connection so that anyone can just hop on. Changing your WEP key should not cause you problems as all you'll end up doing is copying the key thats generated by your router and enter it in the PS3 during the setup. Just remember that if down the road you change your WEP security keys your going to have to re-enter it in your PS3 other wise you wireless connection will be lost.
Ok i've tried resetting my ps3 and it's asking me again to check the security settings for my ps3 AARRGGHH!!!!
This is the process i go through to try and set up my internet without a WEP or WPA and with my router firewall disabled. Easy>(then it says "checking network configuration")> Wireless > Scan > SSID / Security/ Signal> Livebox - AC-78(the name of my router)/ None / 87%> WLAN security settings None Then it says this A connection to the access point could not be established. Check the security settings for the wireless LAN (8013013E) Help me please?
I just thought it would have been obvious that i would have disabled it haha No worries though my bad But yes i have on many occasion when trying to connect it to my ps3
If that dosnt work,use WEP on both your PS3 and router,then when it asks you on the PS3 for your key type it in,it is usualy found on the back of your router.
Thats what i did before when i had the WEP on I went through to were it said "scan" then when it found my router i put in the WEP And it still said the connection error message =/ Bad times
Dude... You're on Orange Broadband? Man.... I work for Orange and I have TalkTalk broadband... Orange broadband has to be the worst thing that ever happened in the U.K... It's been on Watchdog like 4 times... Anyhoo...just wondering if it could be the Internet connection, but I doubt it... Call up your router manufacturers and tell them the problem... I'm sure they can help you...
Haha Aww bad times well i will try plus i used a wired connection a couple of days ago Seriously lagged! even though signal was at 4 bars never did it with wireless =/ I miss online play ='[
