Connection problem for ps3 internet

On my old router (i believe it was a netgear) my ps3 connected to the internet fine, i would be on call of duty most days playing against my friends and people across the world, but then my parents decided to purchase a new router, a belkin N+ router. ever since my ps3 has completely failed at connecting to the internet, and this has been an ongoing problem for 9 months now. sony tell me it is belkins fault, and belkin tells me it is sonys fault, and when belkin do give me advice, it invariably fails. the main issues are that when i scan for SSID on ps3, no access point is detected, even though my router is within a metre of the ps3. when i set it up manually, i always get the error code 8001000A. occasionally if i leave my ps3 for ages, i.e, a month, and come back to it, it will log into the internet for 5 minutes, then cut out once again. another error code that occasionally crops up is the 8013013D. after 9 months i am completely exasperated and parents refuse to get a different router, saying that online gaming isnt important for the console (shows how much they know!)

PS3 and Netgear WGR614 V7 Router

Basically the PS3 wireless settings needs to be configures with the Netgear wireless router settings.
To test if the modem is connects to the Internet, connect a computer into the modem, if it works then the modem is configured correctly. If it doesn't work, then contact your ISP and get them to test your modem connection.

Sierra Wireless AirCard 595U And PS3

I understand that you want to connect the PS3 using the Wireless card and NETGEAR card. Please note that the setup you have will not work for internet access. You can not configure the Air card to work with NETGEAR router. you need to have wih a broadband connection available for this router to connect to internet.

Once you have the router configured with Internet access then you may either connect the PS3 wired or wireless to the router, like you connect a desktop or laptop to the router.

Can I have a wired and wireless connection from the same 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.
