Hi im having a few little problems with my wifi, nothing crazy but im sure with all the brains here we can sort it out.

Right my router is upstairs with my p.c and my PS3 is downstairs under my T.V. When I look at my connection status it will be about 60% but then it will loose connection completly and then a few seconds later go back to 60%ish. I cant move my router any closer but i was wondering are there any setting i could possibly tweek to improve the connection?

If I posted a pic of my setting would that help?

Also i saw that i can buy bigger arials for my router would they help? I paid £50 for my router tho so im not wanting to blow anouther £40 on new arials aswell.

cheers

If you can get into the router setup page, try changing the channel the router is using.....

Jlhfit is right, it sounds like you have spurious signal problems, try changing the channel. A bigger antenna could make the spurious signals worse.

You could try a better router or move your PS3 closer to your router, you can also use a repeater but that would kill your pings and your viop might not work well.
