Recently, I just bought a Linksys WRT54GS router. When I connected it to the computer, everything seems to be running smoothly, until trying to use my PS3 online...

I seem to be doing everything right when setting up:
1) I choose to connect wirelessly
2) Then I scan the surrounding signals and choose mine when it appears on the list.
3) The SSID is already typed in the bar....
4) I enter the long WPA confirmation key...
5) It checks that my information is right for like 2 minutes....
6) Then it says do you want to set up your address settings easy or manual. I choose easy.
7) I leave everything the way it is. Everything stays automatic.
8) I save the settings.

9) When I am done testing the connection, this is what I get...

Can someone please assist me in this problem. I have already contacted Linksys, Comcast, and Sony but to no avvail. I would greatly appreciate it.

Can anyone provide some insight to the problem. I updated my system using a USB Hardrive Stick. I still cant get online. It keeps saying "Key information timed out....

I can't connect with an ethernet cable for certain reasons out of my control....
-two different rooms (CPU and PS3)
-etherent cable would be too long (Parents dont want that)
and several other reasons....

Please Help. Thank You.

you should first connect to ps3 the router wired then wireless then scan for the router
