Just bought new PS3 on Xmas. Trying to connect PS3 to wifi connection but not able to join the connection. I have also bought new Linksys E4200 which has been working great. All my computers and devices are able to access the Internet through E4200. Only PS3 is not connecting to the Wifi. I am not sure whether it is router issue or PS3 issue.
I can access Internet on my play station but I can not play game with other friends. I get NAT type strict on Play station. I opened the ports and also disabled the firewalls. Upgraded the firmware too. What other settings do I need to change?

My play station is not connecting to the network. sometimes it connect and sometimes not. The same problem with my laptop also.
You are facing the same problem on your laptop also. I think it must be issue with the router. If your router is too old then try to upgrade the firmware of the router . Also check the settings of the router.
