PS3 Download Issues

I know, I know, the joke is on me. Seriously though, I Have a 6.0MB cable modem internet connection. While I would concur that it never has felt like 6.0MB, it is faster than the Verizon DSL I did have.

Anyway both my Wii and PS3 are connected wirelessly (my Tivo, 2 other laptops and Stiletto are also connected wirelessly). The Wii and PS3, which are right next to each other, seem to have a devil of a time connecting. Getting into the PS Store is not a problem, doing the background downloading is not a problem; however getting the Motorstorm update and the MLB 07 SportsConnect to work are problems. The irony is that I get the ticker that shows updated sports scores fine. Just when I try to go into a lobby or download a roster is when it’s a problem.

As I type this, the Motorstorm update progress bar is finally moving. Maybe I’ll get lucky. I have a Linksys Wireless G router…my other laptops connect fine. It’s just frustrating. I don’t have this problem with the Xbox 360; however I have had this problem when using a wired PS3 connection.. Urgh!!!

If you have any suggestions or ideas please let me know (I’ve tried the nintendo “change the wireless channel” suggestion about a billion times.
