linksys wireless router not sending signal

Low wireless internet signal on PS3?

Hi,
I am getting a very low internet signal on my PS3 i just bought.
I am getting a signal of 1% (and sometimes that 1% fades away)… Anyway, my PS3 is not far away from my router, I am right above it (in my bedroom… since my bedroom is above the garage)
I have a Linksys router (or something like that)

Real question now: Is there any option to boost the signal?
Could it be that my router is on a “safe modus” or something and that it is short-range.
If I can make it so that the router sends farther away > how do I do that then?

Thanks in advance!!

Yeah, apparently you can. Check out this forum where he talks about how to do this:

Try channels 1, 6 and 11 if your router allows.

I use an older wireless router and have never had any problems with the signal that goes to my PS3 or my Wii. I have heard that if you go into the settings on your router and change the “channel” the router is on that the wireless signal can improve.

Your best bet is to install a high gain antenna to maximize your signal strength and throughput. This is an example of what I am talking about:

In the simplest terms, the bigger the antenna, the better the signal.

If you really wanted to go overkill and felt adventurous, you could buy a next-generation N router and install a wireless N bridge in your PS3. N has twice the range and four times the throughput of G.
