Hi, I know this is my first post and I apologise if I'm repeating discussions that have already taken place. I did use the search first.....

As discussed on many forums, using WIFI with the PS3 in conjunction with the Superhub has been a nightmare.

Eventually after configuring the wireless on the Superhub to:

WPA2-AES

Speeds up to 145mb

And a fixed channel (I used 11)

Switching off firewall and ipflood.

Okay, wonderful it found it when I scanned for WiFi on the PS3

but...

The speeds are atrocious. I couldn't even download the latest PS3 firmware.
On connecting via LAN, it was perfect. I'm on the 30 Meg line btw.

Now, on doing a network test on the PS3 it gave 3 very different download and upload results on the 3 times I ran it.

1st time - Up 798kbps down 348kbps
2nd time - Up 1.5 kbps down 780kbps
3rd time - Up 3.5 kbps down 1kbps

This was all done within an hour of each other.

With the fluctuating results like this sometimes I can connect to a games server and other times I get spurious connection error codes. Even the PS Store intermittently fails to load and show the thumbnails etc.

Any advice? I will consider purchasing the LAN over Mains adaptors if someone could recommend one that is PS3 compatible.

Thanks in advance.

I tried again this morning and it was another very low number in which I couldn't download
