Slow connection on PS3
Set-up my gf's brothers wireless router and PS3 at weekend. PC internet connection is at normal speed but PS3 is extreamly slow. Takes about 15mins just to download a 3mb update for a game!!
Its a netgear router, run speed test on pc and all seems fine. Anyone had issues with this before? Anything i can / change on the router / ps3?
Thanks

The Speeds of a wireless connection will never EVER match the speed of wired.
The End.

i know wireless isnt as quick as an ethernet connection but this is painfully slow. I have ps3 at home used it wireless and wired enough times, both much quicker than gfs brothers. Their connection is 2MB from virgin, even on this speed it shouldnt take 45mins to download a ps3 update which is only about 30mb!!! He has played Little Big planet online ok but updates and download are very slow indeed.
Never had any problems myself

Virgin 2mb *shudders*
We had ntl at uni (before it became Virgin) and it was shocking. I'd do a internet speed check to see what he is actually getting on the pc.

whats it like when you browse the web? do pages load up normal speed or are they slow as well? if the web pages load up fine its probably the server you're downloadin the update from thats slow. it took me a while to download the skate demo a couple of days ago, but the web and online games has worked fine

Never had problems with ps3 wireless at home or anywhere else before. Pages rather slow to load aswell as updates.
Can't be that the 'ps3' is shit or virgin broadband as ive been with them for years at home and its really quite fast, even the 2mb. 2mb should be sufficiant for 1 desktop (hardwired) and a wireless ps3

Wireless internet can be effected by interferance from off devices and sharing a internet connection between multiple devices using wireless will decrease speed for every wireless device connected to the router. I would suggest trying to use ethenet cables and try to keep them away from power cables or over internet cables.
Updgrading your itnernet speed may also help your connection. Would also like to say that virgin-media also throttle your internet conenction (lower your speed) depending on how much data you have transfered (inbound and outbound). I am on the 10mb connection and if i transfer around 1.3gb of data they will throttle my connection to 2mb for about 4 hours. The 2mb connection will be throttled to around 1mb or less.

thanks for help so far. I still cant see it being because its wireless or slow connection speed, i think its more a router issue or ps3 setting.
Ethernet cable is not possible to test due to setup of the room. Router is only like 5m away from the ps3

i have changed the channel to 11 and WPA key instead of WEP. Seems quite a bit better, also wii now picks up the wireless where as it didnt before. I will see how it goes and report back.
Its a netgear router by the way
