Can someone please help me? I have a 2WIRE modem and use DSL service. I want to connect my PS3 wirelessly to my network. Unfortunately, the modem is upstairs and the PS3 is downstairs. How can I boost the signal so my PS3 can pull a good enough signal? Right now, the PS3 recognizes my connection but it is only 15 - 20%.

Expensive way is to buy DB Boost antennas for your router or buy a WIFI repeater. Cheap way. Take two pieces of construction paper, cut out a piece of Tin Foil and glue it between the two pieces of construction paper. Tape it around a pot so that it dries in a curved shape. Once dry, tape it to your router antennas and aim it toward your PS3. I got around a 10% increase by doing that. That is the Redneck McGuiver way.

I hacked my router and Installed a software called tomato. It basically works on the premise that your routers signal strength is capped but after installing tomato you can boost your signal. DO it at your own risk as boosting the signal too much may cause a heat issue with your router.Also the software only works with specific routers.
Another hack I found was a hard hack. You basically extend the antennae of your router which involves soldering copper wires onto your existing routers antennae. Look it up on You Tube.
