Just for you to be aware, a red light on the router means it failed.
Depending on where the red light is, that is where the connection failed, if the red light is on DSL, it means that there is a problem with the server (internet service provider) but if the red light is on INTERNET (authentication failure = router needs to be reconfigure) etc.... to better assist you contact your service provider.

If the power light is red this is a system error.

Try to reset the router by holding and pressing the reset button for 10 seconds. Then power cycle the router.

If the power light is still red. It is possible that the router is already defective.

If you haven't done a firmware upgrade I think doing so will be of a benefit to your problem! Just remember to backup your router settings beforehand! Hope this helps!

So the WLAN is red, it means that there's no wireless connection from your router.

I might advise you to reconfigure the RCA on the wireless settings.

for the PS 3 there are port that you can gather with your PS 3 manufacturer to open on the router, it might help the PS 3 to go online simultaneously.

If the powerlight flashes the entire time.. even after a hardreset, your router is probably only good for a brick....
