ShadowHalo17 04/02/12 2:01:00 AM #1:	See here's the thing. I have my own router that is currently at my uncle's house up the street (who I previously lived with for years). I'm now living with another aunt and uncle, right down the street, because of life. My linksys router that I have at my uncle's house is set up as WEP, which seemed to help my PS3 connect effectively. Right now the router that I'm dealing with at my current residence (with my aunt and uncle) is a WPA. That shouldn't matter. But at the same time, I'm in the basement and my PS3 does manage to connect, sort of, but the signal strength is so bad that it can't do anything with it. SO. My router that is currently still at my uncle's house, could I possible take that and connect it to the modem in this "new" residence and keep it closer to my PS3 so that I can get a better connection? That would mean one modem, two routers. And of course I would have my PS3 (and possibly my laptop) connected to my router instead. Is that possible? -- ~Halo Everybody run! http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6195/furriese.jpg <cite>ShadowHalo17 posted [p:977265] in Let's ... [t:62426844]...</cite> <quote> See here's the thing.
