Hi Everyone; I don't know if I'm posting in the right thread for this but I hope you'll forgive me. I bought these poweline adapters to give my PlayStation 3 a wired connection: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008VOPABG/?tag=snbforums-20
Unfortunately, they have not been working well. They will give me a solid connection for about a day or so, and then randomly will disconnect me from the PlayStation Network. Only a restart of my PS3 fixes the issue, but only temporarily. The issue also happens when I connect the poweline adapter to another client (my laptop, for example). Because of the way my apartment is designed, it is impossible for me to get a wired connection to my PS3 from my cable modem. Also, I only have 2 wall outlets in my room, both of which have one of their two sockets occupied. I hear that with powerline adapters you need to plug it into the wall with nothing else in the second socket but that's just not feasible with the setup of my place. My questions are:
1. Taking everything above into consideration, should I give up on poweline adapters and relegate to wireless connection on my PS3?
2. Is there a more sophisticated powerline adapter out there that could perform better than the ones I own now? If so, what should I look into?
3. The PS3 does not support wireless N, so even with my router (Archer C9 AC1750) I won't see any improvement in a more stable connection with more throughput right?
Thanks in advance. This community has been great; I bought my new router from advice from folks on here and it's been working out splendidly. Looking for the same great advice again! Cheers.
