Not able to do this, I think the wireless signal is too poor as the router is downstairs and the PS3 is upstairs.
Is my only option therefore to buy a new router for upstairs?
I know this is probably basic but I am clueless on all this technological stuff.
Cheers.
And yes, I have googled and all I've found is a load of techno-babble. An answer to my question is fine, any more help much appreciated.

I am no techno expert either.
However, I remember my brother telling me he had to buy a new router, as the signal from the one he was using wasn't strong enough to connect to the net on his PS3. |

Trust me. Get on Amazon and buy 2 Homeplugs - they are brilliant, simple and effective.

My son's XBox is upstairs run off a 20M wire, it was a cheaper option than buying the XBox dongle and besides my router doesn't have great coverage. 30 mins with hide the wire.

When it comes up with a list of networks (after I do a 'Scan') it sometimes picks up ours and sometimes doesn't. If it does, it only shows as 5 or 7%, so not a strong signal.
Therefore I reckoned that I need another router (before these Homeplug things were pointed out to me earlier). I know this is a daft question...but why is this sort of thing so ****ing complicated? |
