Exclamation OMg why now

right ok here it goes, im not so good with the techinical stuff so ...

everything was great could play that addictive cod 4 and sarpbc online, fine brilliant. Next thing my bro's ps3 gets YOLD (yellow light of death) so that needs fixing. today we disconnected everything and sent it off to the local techie guy to fix it. when i tried to get online this morning to play i noticed that the wireless light wasn't on and neither was i signed, because my bro and i are using the same netgear dgn2000 and he has the best signal i think that because he isn't online i cant log on and play.

Everything was fine yesterday when we both were playing online now though i cant connect even though the internet, dsl, wireless and computer connection is on and blinking at me.

so i thought id just reset my netgear turned it off and on until it worked did this 3 times and nothing still the same error message on my ps3 "the signal maybe low or the ssid maybe incorrect"

immediately i thought to reset the setting then try and enter the data again. but after that testing for connection came up with the same error message. now i read around this site and many others and they kept giving the same answer either or try reentering your info.

so anyone know what is wrong and how do i fix it.
also i noticed that my channel and bssid are missing from the info list but they were there last night.

regards
speed

Hmm im a PS3 user. its weird that that happen. i don't have a solution but try using an Ethenet cable. it might be a annoying having to move the PS3 closer to the router but it could work.

Re: OMg why now

sadly that will work but i cannot move it closer since the computer is in the lounge and my ps3 is upstairs and well an ethernet cabel isn't long enough.

regards speed

also i have notcied that the ssid is correct so the only thing wrong is the signal strength which is wierd since i hit 90 -95% strength whe it was working. Oh and this morning the WPS lit up an dlfashed for about 10 seconds what would that mean?

Re: OMg why now

thankfully i rang bt to tell them the problem, and it seemed that my netgear wireless had cahnged it's name and passphrase. so after letting a tech guy gotoassist me by using my mouse from his pc!

so after all the heartache it seemed that because my signal wasn't strong enough it automatically changed channel to make it stronger.

without infoming me
