PS3, Router, 8ta Question (Connectivity issue)

[symbolofmylife]

Hey guys,

I recently bough a TP-Link MR3220 router to set up my wireless network at home.

Little bugger works like a charm but I'm having some ps3 connectivity issues.

Sure, everything connects to PSN fine. I am able to download updates etc but cannot enter lobbies for online games. As soon as I try it gives me an error "Online connection failed" or the like. I've tried a number of titles now so I'm sure it's the connection. I switched from iBurst to 8ta and then the new router. Never had this issue with iBurst.

I'm not that clued up on router settings so I'm thinking it's a setting somewhere i've missed?

Anyone got suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Did you experience any lag with your iburst?

Sorry don't mean to hijack your thread.

Try changing your primary DNS to 8.8.8.8
and secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4

Hey Viking,

Not sure what my DNS settings are as I am at work. But I tried DMZ last night and wont work either. Like I mentioned, connect to PSN fine...just having trouble joining online lobbies.

Any suggestions? The DNS?

and secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4

Sorry for the STUPID question but where would I do this? (Like i said not so clued up on these things).

Thanks!!!

Hi symbol go to network settings then

select custom
select wired / wireless
select IP address

etc etc then you will get to DNS settings then select "manual" then enter the primary and secondary DNS

its hard to help you like this I like to be in front of my setup then talk you through it

Settings > Network Settings > Internet Connection Settings > Custom

Go through your settings until you reach DNS settings and choose 'Manual'

[Viking]

why you messing with DMZ settings ?

[symbolofmylife]

Thanks Viking. Got your PM too.

I googled last night and some of the solutions reflected as changing DMZ settings so I tried it.

So I will try to change the DNS on the PS3 to what pshycho suggested, primary DNS to 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4.

Anything I have to change on the router?
