Biscuits Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi, Just ditched ADSL and gone for WiMAX broadband. VFast Linky Anyway, changed routers and as I use a 24" iMAC at home, bought a ew Airport Extreme Gigabit router. However, Im not sure if it's causing my PS3 a ROUTING/PORTING problem. Been playing BURNOUT this morning and it keep bombing out the connection. Downloads work fine and fast, the suggestion from the game is to check that the router is passing the connection properly. I know how to open ports on a Netgear, Vigor etc... but the Airport is a bit different. I've assigned the PS3 a static DCHP IP address, and found a box that kind of sounded like a DMZ entry... so added the PS3 IP address to it. In the Airport setup screen INTERNET, NAT, "Enable default host at:" box. Anyone with experience with the Apple routers ?

Matt R Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I have been with VFast for quite a while now, must say I find it pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 My guess would be something latency related perhaps. 802.11n can give you 5-10ms latency within a house, so something using WiMAX over a few miles could have some considerable lag.

May reduce the latency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 VFast is working out to be very good. I've asked about the possible latency issues and they are not aware or any gaming or latency related issues, but are monitoring my connection to se eif there are any dropouts.Here is a speedtest: I can live with that!
