I had a similar issue with connecting the Wii to my wireless router - it ended up being a channel problem - 6 instead of 11 - have you tried changing those?

You can check the channel of any near wi fi networks with a program called Vistastumbler , If you have any networks that use a channel that is close to your existing channel , then change it to something higher or lower and see if your signal improves.

It could also be a hardware issue with the ps3 itself , I have heard of the wi fi just simply dying in the console itself for no apparent reason.

Im sure that you have tried to manually enter the ssid and the wpa or wep key.

Where does the error occur ? Is it when you try to test the connection or is it straight after you enter the ssid or the network key?

The error codes 8001000a and 8001000b usually relate to a hardware issue , you can also receive these errors when trying to use external storage devices - Or it is just considered a general hardware fault code.

Is there anyway you can take it to another location where there is another available wi fi connection you can test the console on?

we have a similar problem..

we play battlefield 1943 and we get drop outs every 8 seconds. turns out it's a particular type of router that doesnt work with the ps3 for game, as it should..

got a new one, and wollah, works perfect every time..

while your problem is different, the solution may be the same - ie. have you tried another router? get the same error?

i get drop outs when playing gta4
also, after just recently changing my internet to smellstra, when our home phone rings or we make a call the internet on our laptops drops out for about 30secs-1min.

Are all of your home phones filtered ?
We have an old school wallphone at my house and it is hard wired to the central phone line , whenever we pick it up it cuts the internet off.

You need to have every phone line with attached equipment in the house filtered.

our wall socket has a hardwired wire coming out of the back and plugged into the phone, no filter,
and the internet cable plugged into the front socket running to a filter then to the modem/router.
never had any problems like that with optus net using siemens modem and dlink router.
when i changed to telstra they sent me a thompson all-in-one modem router. its only after i joined telstra and using this thompson that weve had troubles.

i have just now changed the way the phone and net are plugged in, all running through filter so ill see how that goes.

i didnt try using the siemens and dlink with telstra net. will be my next option if things dont improve.

ps, sorry ain for the hijack.

havent tried the channels actually, one thing i didnt think of.


You can check the channel of any near wi fi networks with a program called Vistastumbler , If you have any networks that use a channel that is close to your existing channel , then change it to something higher or lower and see if your signal improves.

there is only one other wireless network near me, but i will try that also

It could also be a hardware issue with the ps3 itself , I have heard of the wi fi just simply dying in the console itself for no apparent reason.

yer same :(

Im sure that you have tried to manually enter the ssid and the wpa or wep key.

yep

Where does the error occur ? Is it when you try to test the connection or is it straight after you enter the ssid or the network key?

manually enter in ssid, network, then tries to test connection and errors.
even if i go auto, and let it scan and find the network it finds it, but wont connect

The error codes 8001000a and 8001000b usually relate to a hardware issue , you can also receive these errors when trying to use external storage devices - Or it is just considered a general hardware fault code.

could take it into work and test it there i guess, just a pita :lol:

8013013D - "A connection error has occurred" - May be to do with the SSID of the Router or signal strength if the conneciton drops Putting the PS3 into DMZ may help - otherwise check WPA key Ps3 can't handle WPA2 only WPA or none.

-2147418100 (8001000C) The client (caller) cannot unmarshal the return
data - low memory, etc.



can you see on your router, the ps3 trying to connect?
