    I bought a Belkin N300 router yesterday and it was absolute crap when used with my PS3.
    The lag I had playing MW2 was infruriating so I took off the Belkin and I am back on my linksys WRT54G. Is there anyone here that have upgraded to an N router and had a good experience with it? I read on various sites that its useless to upgrade to an N router since the PS3 wireless is G.
    Does anyone here know how to set up 2 wireless router using one internet connection?

    I have not looked up your router but every N router that i have seen, also transmits G and B also. I assume that you have put it in a DMZ with a Static IP on the PS3 or Port Forward'ed the Router.

    The PS3 hates wifi; it supports it, but it hates it. So, "N, B, G"...those are all wifi, and they will all be slower than an old 100mbps wired connection.

    I am back using the Linksys WRT54G
    Oh KillerBug you crack me up. PS3 hates Wifi... Anyway,after doing some more research, the term for using 2 wireless routers on one connection is called "cascading".It was super easy to do so now I have both a Wireless G and N router.
    Heres the Youtube tutorial.
