For over3 years now I have been struggling to get a good wifi connection on my PS3 because I live in a basement suite.. UNTIL NOW that is!

I purchased a D-Link powerline, which basically turns the outlets in your house into a wired network.

My old download speed on wifi was average 1.5Mbps, and now it weighs in at 14Mbps! Gone are the days of being unable to play games online because of a crappy wifi connection. Got this just in time for UC3, and I highly recommend it for anyone who has a poor wifi signal.

Just out of curiosity, what speeds does your PS3 run at? Wired or wifi?

To test your connection go to network settings and just do the test connection option. My download speed is about 40mbps and upload is about 8mbps wired.

About £40 for a decent pair of them. They just plug in and away you go, 85mbps for a cheap pair which is well over the 8mbps you can achieve. There are faster ones but obviously they cost much more.

Having a wired connection is impossible for me since the router is too far away, I just tested my wireless speed on my PS3 and it's giving me roughly 3.0Mbps, we're supposed to be getting 5Mbps.

been using homeplugs for the last 4 years or so, the router is plugged into the wall where the phone line comes into the house, my room is on the opposite corner of the house and up a floor and a few homeplugs in my room for the TV, PS3 and PC. my net connection at the router is the max 16MB that i can get down the phone line and speed test results on my PC i get 14MB so only 2MB lost. they are pricey but so worth it, if you have a fixed bit of equipment then you owe it to yourself to try them, if you use wireless on desktop PC/console you deserve internet problems. the majority of my mates who have seen the home plugs when they have popped over ended up picking some up for themselves.

1GB Ethernet ports are becoming quite common so you would probably see advantages with a 200MBps set of plugs especially if you stream from a PC/media centre to a network enabled display.

Rarely I get along without lag. I have to unplug/disable literally everything thats using the internet if I wanna play online. As for the PS store, its just really slow. a Gig download takes about 2 days without leaving it on overnight or while I'm at school.
