is your router set up in such a way that you have to manually type in the name of the router to find it

its telling me to press the aoss button? what the hell is that? lol

 

[southpoleman69 10+ year member]

lol ill let somebody else field that question. cuz i have no idea.

off topic, did u pick up call of duty?

 

[dave_damage 10+ year member]

no only game I have is Assassins Creed.. I reset the router and nothing. When I use my computer to scan for networks the one in my house shows up and the one my neighbors shows up. this is messed up!!

 

[southpoleman69 10+ year member]

**** ur having many issues, i cant think of any other thing except i can try it and tell u exactly what i did and then see if thats how u did it?

Might be a dummy question but how far away is your ps3 from your router? How many walls are in between the ps3 and the router? If you're computer itself is further away from your router than your ps3 and your ps3 won't pick it up but the computer will, that's strange...

1) go to network settings

2)go to internet connection settings

3) brings up "easy" or 'custom", select easy

4) next, itll say wired, or wireless, if ur using wireless select it

5) says scan, enter manually, automatic, select scan

6) itll bring up ur connections, pick which one u want

7) none, wep, wpa-psk/wpa2-psk, pick none

8)should bring up a complete list of all the stuff, select it and itll say "test connection" test it, if it works, ur good to go, problem solved

hope this helps
