The following steps will help you forward ports on the NETGEAR router for Play station network (PS2, PS3, PSP). At time you can not access or play online games through your PS and in such cases you need to make sure that you have the required ports forwarded on your router as mentioned below. The below steps are applicable for NETGEAR router model WGR614, WGT624, WPN824, WNR2000, WNDR3300, WNR854T, WNR834B etc
1. Open a browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari) on your computer connected to the router.
2. Access the router, usually by typing 'http://192.168.1.1' or 'http://www.routerlogin.com' in the address bar.
3. Login to the router (Username = admin and Password = Password unless you have changed it).
4. Click on Port Forwarding under Advanced.
5. Click on 'Add Custom Service' button.
6. Specify any name for the service (PSN1). Select Service Type as TCP/UDP
7. Specify the Start and the End Port as 80.
8. In the server IP Address specify the ip address of the PS3.
9. Click on 'Add' button.
10. Follow the same steps to open the below ports
Start = 443 End = 443 use name as PSN2
Start = 5223 End = 5223 use name as PSN3
Start = 3478 End = 3479 use name as PSN4.
Start = 3658 End = 3658 use name as PSN5.
Start = 10070 End = 10080 use name as PSN6.
Click Apply.
These steps would allow you to access online games on your PS connected through the NETGEAR router.
I think the broadband connection you are using is not enabled for NAT ( Network Address Translation).
This is required to give internet access to more than one system through a single internet connection.
If NAT is not enabled or supported by your broadband router then you cant access internet through more than one system simultaneously.
belkin is famous for dropping its signal for no apparent reason, in my findings and dealings with several routers i have found "netgear" to be the best company not just for their products but for their customer service and tech support as well
Playing Online Games Behind The Router A router uses a
combination of hardware and software to prevent unauthorized users or internet
traffic from accessing your private local area network (LAN).
If your game console, such as Playstation is behind the router, you will need to
configure routers Port Forwarding feature in order to play online games.
Note: You will need to get the ports and service type for your
games. This is usually available from the games website. Steps how to configure router to
play online games:
Open a browser and
type in the following URL:
http://www.routerlogin.com or http://192.168.1.1 (depending on the
model number of the router)
Type the Username
as admin and the Password as password and click OK.
Click on Port
Forwarding under Advanced menu.
Then click on Add Custom Service
5. Under Service Name, type the name of the game.
Select the Service Type from the drop down menu (depending on the
game).
Type the Starting Port and Ending Port numbers (depending on the
game).
Type the IP address of your PlayStation in the Server IP Address box
and click Apply.
Click on WAN Setup under ADVANCED menu.
Check the Disable SPI
firewall box
Change MTU size from 1500 (which is the default) to 1300 and click
Apply.
I might advised you to call the PS3 manufacturer to gather the ports of the PS3 then you'll needing the help of netgear provider to open the ports of the PS3 to the router, so that the PS3 will allow to the firewall of your router.
Hello..the quick answer is yes, this router allows wired and wireless connections at the same time, and it is easy to connect wirelessly (in theory...).
The PS3 will need to be configured to connect to your router, though. There is a guide to achieving this here:
If the wireless signal on the router has been secured, the settings used will be needed to set up the PS3.
If not, you may wish to secure the wireless connection, which is not too difficult - just a few steps, which I or someone else can help with if you wish.
Hope this helps, but please come back to Fixya if anything is not clear or you need further information.
The FS605 is a switch, not a router. You can only run one device at at time because you only have one ip address. You need a router between the internet and your switch if you want to use more than one device at a time.
If your PS3 is Networked upto Your PC to use the internet connection, You have to allow the PC to share its Internet connection with yout PC, Do this By going into Network settings, Checking the properties of your LAN card in your PC. and clicking on, "share my internet". This should alleviate that problem..
Or.
If your PS3's Wired connection isnt working. but your PC one is, Try moving your PS3 Lan cable into one of the other Free LAN Ports (if available) or Try Switching the PC cable over to the PS3's Port in the Router, and Visa-Versa !
if your PS3 is closer than 20 feet from your router, then its unlikely to be your signal strength. However, Wireless connections tend to "poll" their connected hardware. What I mean by taht is.... The router sends out a signal, just to check and make sure all the peripherals are still there. I dunno about PS3 yet, cos I havent tried to game online, but I am an avid PC online gamer, my pc is within 5 feet of my router and Ive switched back to LAN cable to play. I was experiencing periodic "lag"... due to that polling effect. Try using the LAN cable and see if that makes a difference ( I dont know how many Ethernet RJ45 connections a Netgear has, ... if it only has one, you may need to connect a "switch" )
