Connecting ps3 to non sky router

Hi,i've managed to connect to my ps3 to sky broadband using a BT voyager 205 router using advice from people on this forum but so far i'm unable to manage to connect the BT router at the same time as the supplied Netgear router,when i connect one the other won't connect at all until i disconnect the other from the phone socket completely.Should i be able to do this & if so can anyone tell me where i'm going wrong.
Thanks

You can't connect two modem routers to your phone line at the same time. Why do you want to?

Re: Connecting ps3 to non sky router

because using the ps3 on wireless is painfully slow & i already had the bt router so i thought that would be a solution

In that case you either need to look at putting an ethernet cable from your existing router to your PS3 or look at homeplugs.
