[QUOTE="Jacky B, post: 955936, member: 134311"] [b]PS3 vs. MacBook[/b] I just went through a similar sequence of problems last night: boyfriend hooks up our new PS3 to our Airport Express (also connected to a cable modem), which has a MacBook and dell laptop hooked up already. PS3 prompted for an update and my internet gets cut off on my MacBook (and his iPhone can't connect) as a result. Once we turned off the PS3, my Airport Utility couldn't even find my network/ Airport Express and it was only 5 feet away! My password isn't more than 8 characters so I don't think that was the problem.... but weird thing is, this morning, we tried to connect to the internet again with the PS3 off and were successful but the connection was extremely slow. I don't have any other router/ Ethernet and it seems like there's going to be battles over using the PS3 or the MacBook because they can't be used at the same time. Has anyone found a solution to this without resorting to purchasing an additional router? Cheers.:D [/QUOTE]
