Belkin N+ in Wireless routers

Belkin N+ wireless doesnt work reliably with PS3 console!

Hi PC Pro, I bought one of these on the strength of your review and it works fine for PCs but in my experience doesnt work reliably on a Sony PS3. In draftn/g/b mode, the default, the PS3 cannot see the router on most occasions. When it does, the connection will work for a while and then drop. A few internet searches later revealed this to be a common problem with no clear fix. Tried downgrading to G only, worked for one gaming session then dropped again. Tried latest firmware, no difference, tried pre-release firmware, again no difference. In the end, took it back to the supplier and got a refund on the strength that it is not fit for purpose and went back to my trusty Netgear DG834G, which works fine, albeit a bit dated. Shame, as it is a nice bit of kit, especially with the USB storage option and I agree with all your other review points
