Problem. Help?

[roey7]

Alright, so I had a pretty good connection for my ps3 a few days ago. But now it seems as though I dont.

I'm very lucky to get a game on cod4, and when I do it lags. It wasn't doing this before though.

Anyone got any ideas why? Any ways I could boost connection? (besides the blatent "move it closer")

Any way a wireless adapter could help?

Would wiring it up with an ethernet help the connection?

Cheers.

Depends, Is your internet bad on the computer? Do a speedtest on speddtest.net and post the results

[roey7]

Its not that bad.

There's two ps3's running of the router though, plus theres normally two people using the connection of a computer aswell.

But, It was like this, since i got the ps3 a few months ago, but its only decided to do this recently.

Sorry if im being confusing.

Well if theres that many people using one connection it is gunna slow it down, what speed broadband you got? 1mb...10mb....ect

[roey7]

But it was never this slow before.

And im not sure Ill get back to you on that one. It used to be something like 5 but the broadband has been changed since then.

Ok do a speedtest too on http://www.speedtest.net and post results.

roey if ya changed provider thats y its only doin it now, ur connection more than likely isnt able to handle all the devices connected and ur isp could be blockin parts of cod4 aswell, cod4 uses p2p to run online and thats what illlegal torrents run on

other things to consider if operating wirelessly...has you or a neighbour bought a dect cordless phone recently if so see if it transmits at 20MHz if so buy a new phone thats on a different frequency...this will reduce interference

are thier any new wireless signals in the area...when I first set up my network I was the only one in the neighbourhood now thier are loads...and all were broadcasting on the top channels....I just moved mine to channel 1 and my speed picked right up...again this was due to interference....I also bought a new router which actively scans the frequencies and sets the router to the one with the best signal ( least interference)

but to be honest more than likely the problem has been pin pointed new ISP...defo

I find cable the most reliable for online gaming in my area...ADSL just seems too slow probable due to the amount of people passing through the same exchange...BT are updating and adding new exchanges apperently...in 2010

I couldn't wait so switched to cable

It doesnt matter anymore.

But cheers for the help anyway.
