Any router should work. You might try looking at the Playstation's support website to see if anyone is having issues with your brand or someone may have a walk through. They have a whole area just for connection issues.
It's a router and the PS3 only needs a live ethernet cable. If a router works it's fine for the PS3 if it works for the other devices that it will be connected too. Even the WiFi routers work because PS3 does not have wireless N and only has G. That is why my PS3 and house have a Cat 6 ethernet wired connection
I just called Best Buy and they told me the Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router (WNR2000) would work perfectly.
Rather no than yes. It will work if the router is configured to work in the "G" mode.
Yes, it will. It will work with A, B, G, and N standards.
Yes it is better than many other routers that will work. The ones I see on an Amazon search in 5 different models are way better than the one I have which is just a Cisco Linksys wrt160n wireless n router. PS3 has wireless G so you are actuall going to be buying a better router than the PS3 can use with most wireless routers. Software upgrades can not change G to N or better so the PS3 can not change as a complete system to wireless n. If you are planning a wired system like I am using for the PS3 then your router purchase can be less than the Cisco-Linksys WRT160N Wireless-N Broadband Router I purchased at Best Buy on sale for $80 that is available today from Amazon.com for $47 with no taxes and free shipping. the PlayStation Sony Style shows the NETGEAR Home Theater Internet Connection Kit for the PS3 for $149.99 and available from amazon for $122.26 that uses a system to use electrical plugs instead of wires throughout your house which is also an option
You can't and you don't want to. A "N" router will work with "G" network components and will additionally support "N" hardware at a higher speed. Converting it to "G" would be a step down.
PS3 has a G signal, but when you purchase your wireless router you are better off getting the Wireless-N-Broadband router for future connections to other devices. PS3 also is better wired than wireless and I found the signal test of the PS3 much better wired than WiFi. I also brought my Linksys by Cisco model no WRT160N wireless router at Best Buy and later saw a much better model at Sam's Club for the same price range that Best Buy had for twice the price
It should be, just make sure that your router is configured to work with both G as well as N networks.
Yes, you can. You have to configure your router to work in compatibility for G networks.
G repeater will not work with N network, unless your router is configured to work in compatibility mode. It means that your router can work with both G and N networks. Thus when you connect your G repeater it will extend only your G network.
Yes.
Yes it is backwards compatible
