i recently got a new D-link router and when i scan for it on my ps3 it "cannot detect the access point". my internet on my pc is workin perfectly tho, is there any way to fix this problem with the WLAN light so i can play online. is my router faulty. ps ive restored my ps3 default setting already. and my ps3 detected some random other routers from diff. houses wid a 1% signal.

hmm...your computer is using wifi to connect to the router? if so, then thats odd that your ps3 cant detect it. if its connected with an ethernet cable, than maybe the router just isnt sending out a wifi signal for some faulty reason.

other than that, if your comp is connected to it with wifi, then there's no reason your ps3 shouldnt detect it. Im not pro at setting it up (I use an ethernet cable since its more reliable) but its pretty self explanatory on how to set it up. are you sure youre not just missing something when trying to connect?

my comp. is connected to my router through an ethernet cable though.

Make sure that you have the wireless enabled in the router configuration. Routers have the option to enable or disable the wireless portion of it. From the sounds of it, it has been disabled.

I was thinking the same thing. that, or its not a wifi enabled router, or the wifi is just somehow broken. Im pretty sure you just dont have wifi turned on, though

my fone has wifi so i was jus chekin if i can get a signal and i found that my router has REALLY bad range and can only be detected by decices from within only 2 metres!!!!! lol. i moved my ps3 closer by only 2 metres and can get a signal, but its really crap and still like 90% of the time it cannot be detected. is my router jus like completely rubbish or sumthin?!

In the router settings some routers have an extended range setting, look to see if yours has it and put on extended range. Also check the antenna(s) connection to be sure it is in good shape.

thanx for da advice. i'll try it out, but do u know how far a G router's range can go up 2 max? or can they be varied?

**Gandalf** · 02-13-2009

Not for sure really but I've got at least 30'(approx. 10 meters)at my house thru walls.
