Title: D-Link DSL-2640R Playstation 3 connection problem
Post by: supremeoutcast on September 17, 2013, 04:36:21 AM

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I have a PS3 console that won't connect to my D-Link DSL 2640R wireless router. The PS3 says it cannot detect the access point, even when I plug it into the router via an ethernet cable. Every other electronic device in my home - phone, tablet, laptop - connects fine. I've taken the PS3 to a friend's house and it connects to their internet fine, so I know it's not the console and Virgin Media's customer support team are utterly useless. Could anyone advise me as to how I can resolve this?

Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=41537.0)

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

• Ensure the default (dlink) SSID name is changed. Can be anything and not something thats already in use by any neighboring WiFi routers. Under Setup/Wireless/Manual.
• What wireless modes are you using?
• 2.4Ghz Routers only: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?
• Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
• Try setting a manual Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_channel) to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear.
• What security mode are you using? Preferred security is WPA-Personal. WPA2/AES Only. Some WiFi adapters don't support AES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard), so you might want to try TPIK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_Key_Integrity_Protocol) only or Auto TPIK and AES.
• Any cordless house phones?
• Any other WiFi routers in the area? Link> Use InSSIDer (http://www.metageek.net/) to find out. How many?
• If you have any of these options, Try turning OFF or ON Short GI (http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-features/30969-what-do-80211ns-optional-features-mean-for-you), WLAN Partition, HT 20/40 Co-exhistance and Extra Wireless Protection if you have it. Recommended settings are default.
• Enable WMM Enable (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=50738.0).
