Neither Wireless or Wired Connections Working

I've been trying to get online for a while now and have tried both wireless conection and wired and have hit walls with both.

Wireless:
The PS3 found my router and needed my WPA2 security code. I made 100% sure that i putin my right code but now all it says is WLAN security problem..

Wired:
Conncted up the wires and was ready to play when I found out I could update the system(which i though was optional,not essential to online gaming). I started the update and it went very slowly. It got to around 30% and I thought I'd just update some other time and game for now. I then realised I need to update but now everytime I began to system updates it never gets any further than 8-10% before sayin 'Connection error'..



If you can help with either PLEASE help

Hmm, I don't know about wired connections but my wireless connection worked perfectly for me with the PS3 right out of the box.


Try the wireless again, if it doesn't work, enter your IP Address into the URL Bar. (www.whatismyip.com). Press enter and you should get a popup that asks for a Username and Password, which you've probably set since you said you had a WPA2 code set. If not, it should be admin for both username and password.

Anyway, you should be at your Router's Setup page now. Go to Wireless Settings or Wireless Security or whatever, and disable all the security. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Now try to connect your PS3 again, if it works, you can either keep it without Security, which isn't too risky unless you think your neighbors will leech your network. Or, you could try other security types, such as WPA (which works for my PS3) or WEP. Then you'll just have to set a new passcode and all but it's all still secure.


Another thing you may want to look into is to see if you set a limit on how many connections the Router can take. I used to have mine set to 4 so only me, my brother, my dad, and my dad's laptop could connect, but I changed it to unlimited since the network was secure anyway. I doubt this is the reason but look into it if all else fails.
