Nah it's not that your ps3 and router don't get along, ps3's just have crappy wireless hardware. Mine sits less than 1m from my router and it still disconnects during games and downloads really really slow. Swapped to cable connection and it's all good.

no such issue here, mines always been wireless and have never had an update go askew or a drop out...unless the modem/router has a tantrum, but that effects all comps on my line. it is a bit slower on the DL's but not enough to worry me.

I bought an EoP (Ethernet over Power) set for mine. Plugs into the wall at your router and turns your power cables into a network basically. Just plug the PS3 into the wall unit with a CAT5 cable and works a treat :)

I got sick of constantly getting droupouts on my PS3 and t-box so now I have a 5 port router in my room so I get "wired" internet despite the fact the actual router connected to the internet is several rooms away.

Yeah I've never really had an issue with dropouts on updates, they are just really slow. Last one was some dlc, 500mb and it took nearly 2 hours! The dropouts happen more during online multiplayer, gets really annoying, never had an issue with wired.

What's the speed like in those ethernet over power setups? I had them in mind to extend my network but just ended up running a length of CAT5 under the house.

They're rated at "100mbit", and through tests I'm currently getting about 87-93mbit. So while not fantastic, they're good enough for media streaming, and updating on the net.

Some of us live in apartments ;)

yeah you wont get amazing speed out of them but should be enough to support max speed on your ADSL+2

download speeds on my PS3 seem good anyway. Had some trouble with mine recently not connecting (the two EoP units) but up until then It ran faultlessly. Still not sure what happened but I've moved some stuff around and its all good again

nah it's that my modem is a kill joy. when i go into the logs in the modem it shows that it has booted the ps3 off each time. the modem has issues though. probably 10 times a day it will boot all computers off and sort of resets itself.

i have a long phone line somewhere, and a few metre long ethernet cable, so i'll bring the modem to the ps3 i think.

+1 for new modem.

Spend the few extra $$$ for one. You'll be glad you did.

I had low end linksys which would give me grief all the time. Would never hook me into a cod match.

Changed it over to a high end d-link and haven't looked back since. Over the three years I've had it, not ONCE has it dropped the connection.

i was using a high end draytek at my parent's house; since moving out i'm just using the one optus gave me... no problems at all; torrents run fine with however many connections in the NAT table, no dropouts during games.... is pretty friggin good for a basic modem

just saw that in the DLC content coming out next week there will be Spa Francorchamps (with weather effects)

F$%@#$^!@ excellent!

Spa is my all time favourite track and think its one of the better real life tracks out there, def downloading this :)

i seem to find it easier to drive when i'm using bonnet cam. if i use the bumper cam i cant hit the apex's right and i end up being 2-3 sec slower per lap

funny how a slight change in view can cost you that much time.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
