I cant get my PS3 to connect! I enter everything in and when it trys to get the IP it times out. Any ideas? If it matters im using a netgear router (MR814v3).

These are the steps im taking:

Internet Connection Settings
Yes
Wireless
Scan
X Enter
Right
WEP
Type in WEP
Address Settings Easy
IP Address Settings Automatic
DHCP Do not Set
DNS Automatic
MTU Automatic
Proxy Do Not Use
UPnP Enable
Save Settings
Test Connection
Fail at obtaining IP Address

 

Just hard code it. Try 192.168.1.2 or 1.102.
How many other devices are using the router?

 

PC through Ethernet and two other Laptops but rarely used at the same time and right now neither of them are connected.

Hard code it? use ethernet?

 

no hard code the IP just use a higher range than devices. So if its a 192.168.1.100 network give it a 192.168.1.105 address with a gateway of 192.168.1.100. That way whenever the laptops or pc's connect it will usually issue a 1.101 or 1.102 or 1.103 but you should be good with 1.105

 

so by original IP and the new gateway should be the same and the new IP should be 5 more?

 

if i enter the values manually where do i find my Default router values and primary/secondary DNS values?

 

well first you need to find out what address range the netgear uses (i used 192.168.1.100 as an example) It could be 192.168.0.1 or 1.1. Once you know the range then you can add 5 to the gateways address.

** This is assuming that everything is stock except the password. If the router has MAC exclusions or any other type of custom setup then this wont work.

 

You can use a public DNS address. For my 360 I just use 4.2.2.2 But your ISP might have a list of recommended DNS address'

 

ok i got it to obtain IP but now im getting a DNS error. I used these numbers for the DNS values

DNS Server 68.87.72.130
68.87.77.130

 

well, you could try using obtain auto DNS. Or try using 4.2.2.2

 

tried the 4.2.2.2 values and still the same.

 

Well, Im outta ideas. Anyone else wanna jump in and give their

 

 

 

How old is your router? I was having the same problem with my old linksys and then I swapped it out with a newer one. That worked but then I got an all in one combo DSL modem/router. Works like a charm!
