Is your SSID being broadcast? What router do you have?

if your SSID changed back to linksys then you either need to change your SSID back to what it was or you will have to go into EVERY wireless device that relies on the router and change the SSID, broadcasting channel, encryption method and code if necessary.

if your wired pc can still go online, do what i said above.

If it doesnt work after changing everything necessary, unplug router's power for 10 sec minimum then plug back up and wait 15-20 sec then try to connect.

It was all working just fine.. i dunno if i have to go back to the router settings or what.. Both my ps3 and phone should at least SEE a network.. but nothing.. its like its not even there

But my laptop sees it

any reason why my ps3 and wifi on my phone dont even see my wireless, but my computer works just fine?

sounds like it's not being broadcasted.

Go into your router's settings and make sure it's broadcasting your SSID

i gotta try something.. I was on the phone with apple tech support for about 15 minutes, tried everything possible , now i just finished re-syncing my phone after a full OS restore that took about 25 minutes, and about 30 to re organize my apps..

They got nothing, they said the full phone/restore/reset was a last option, and that didnt work.. So ill have to call them tomorrow and put in an order for a new phone. They said if restore didnt work they were probably gonna send me a new ( or refurbished ) phone.. Hopefully new tho..

Still at a loss and did alot of shit around the house today, so i wasnt able to go somewhere else to see if it would find someone elses wireless network.. And confused why the ps3 and laptop still have no wireless issues
