Why isn't my PS3 showing the internet signal strength?

May be...

I just started using the wired connection where you have to connect your PS3 with your router. When I just did that, the PS3 would show the signal strength but now all of a sudden it doesn't anymore. How am I supposed to know when the signal is weak or not now? Does it just stay 100%, 100% of the time when you're using the wired connection? Or is something wrong here?

If you are hooked up with a wire, it will always be 100%, you don't need a signal strength indicator to tell you that (that's why you don't see one). Only when you are hooked up through Wi-Fi (wireless) will it give you a signal strength, because it is a signal going through the air.



If you go into an elevator with a cell phone, the signal gets worse. If you use a land-line (phone with a cord) in the elevator, there is no problem.



The signal strength is only when you are wireless, it is always 100% when connected with a wire. The speed may be different, but that has nothing to do with the signal strength indicator.

probably from one of the recent updates, but it doesn't really matter as long as internet works. funny you get a signal strength on wired connection though... its always strong because its in a cable, but its never showed me on my wireless connection.



anyway, stop being so paranoid
