Yes this adapter should help and make your connection to your ps3 more reliable and faster. If you have an n router you should have an n reciever and i dont believe that the ps3 has a n reciever in it. And if it does it isnt as good as the linksys n gaming adapter. i would recommend buying this adapter to improve your gaming experience.

Has anybody experienced a performance upgrade using this product, as opposed to the internal Wireless-g adapter, already included with the PS3?

I don't think so, even if so I would still tell you not to buy this. I bought it to boost my Playstation's WiFi area for a better signal but after a year it's not working. Plus this device came out in 2007 and wireless and the devices have really evolved since then.

There is no such thing as a triband adapter. The router has 2 5Ghz radios and one 2.4Ghz radio. You want a dual band ac or n adapter (5Ghz and 2.4Ghz).The reason it is advertised as triband is because, it balances the load on the 5Ghz band between the two 5Ghz radios. If you have a mix of 5Ghz n and ac devices, the router will separate them on to different radios so the "n" devices don't slow down the "ac" devices, for all this to happen make sure "Smart Connect" is enabled. If smart connect is disabled you can still do the same thing manually.

if you have a rj45 plug on your Ps3 and a USB you can use this product to get wifi to your Ps3!, I have used this device on all my non wifi devices to attach to my network!, I have attached a satellite receiver/xbox/and a legacy PC all work great!!.

works fine with PS3.. The only problem I have is that there arent enough input jacks, meaning that since I have a XBOX360, PS3, and a Wii, I have to keep changing the rfa input jacks. I havent yet found a switch that produces a good enough quality to use.

I have some experience with this product since I installed it a few days ago. However, my setup was not a modem to router connection, but a router to adapter in one room, and then a PS4 to adapter in the other, and I will say that it works great. Connection is much more reliable, stable, and faster than when my PS4 was connected through Wi-Fi.

This is a little late but it may help anyone looking in the future: Wireless isn't the most stable consistent connection. Its great for generic internet but gaming is very demanding. You have the potential to run into hiccups with your connection. I quickly switched from a wireless adapter to this netgear powerline kit. Now the boxes will use the electrical wiring to transmit the signal so if the wiring isn't from one outlet to the other it won't work but it is almost as good as a direct ethernet connection (which is the best option if possible.)

I used mine to connect my router to Xbox 360 and it works fine. I don't see any reason it shouldn't work with a PS3. Hope that helps. BTW, I don't know if you care about the color or the cable. I don't care but as an FYI I bought, the grey cables as they were the cheapest and cables I got actually look closer to white than grey.

The antenna connections are the smaller type, I think they are called Reverse SMA or something like that but you can get adapter pigtail cables that will let you connect an N type connector to this router. Just make sure you keep your antenna cable as short as possible because there can be a lot of signal strength lost in the antenna cable itself.

Actually the player and the adapter are on order and I have not tried them yet. The adapter I ordered is the Linksyst Dual Band Wireless N Gaming and Video Adapter. It was recommended by a salesman at Best Buy and is what they sell for any player for which a dongle is not available. Their price is $99.00 plus tax vs. Amazon's $84.24.

You should not have a problem. In theory, adapters should be able to connect to any wireless network with a compatible signal (of course that's not always the case in reality). That being said, I've tested this adapter on several different networks, and I've never run into problems regardless of router. However, I have heard that some people can't pick up the 5.0ghz signal from other types of routers (non-Cisco/Linksys), but I don't have evidence supporting that claim other than a couple isolated instances. Good luck!

I've tried using the 2W Alfa for 802.11b/g/n with an xbox360. The xbox didn't acknowledge the adapter's existence and told me to go buy a Microsoft wireless adapter for xbox360.

No, this wireless card issue has not been addressed in the version of the computer that I have. I have my computer one floor and several walls from the router and the internal wireless just doesn't have enough power to supply what I need. I have instead put a USB wireless N adapter on. That has served me well so far and the USB adapter isn't expensive. I will say that other than the wireless thing, I am very satisfied with this computer. It has a lot of power for the money.

Cisco my have more information on their site about the product. I brought the Linksys AE3000 N900 dual band USB wireless adapter, this is for HD video and gaming I love it and will buy a few for the other wireless devices in my home. I also have the Cisco E4200 to pair it with. The speed is up to 450Mbps. I hope this helps you out

When you attached this device you will turn off your internal card, and rely solely in this to receive you're wireless connection. So the range should be consistent across all devices. It will not combine with your other wireless signal to boost that one. I don't remember the effective range of this one specifically, but when I was using every day with my MacBook Pro, it was far better than the internal card. I eventually upgraded to newer better versions, that are obviously more expensive, but I loved this adapter. I hope that helped.

First, keep in mind this is only worth buying if you already have a wireless 802.11AC router to connect to. Second, to answer your question: You really don't need bandwidth for gaming, it's all about latency of your internet provider to the game servers. However, you do need an internet connection. If you're having issues connecting to your wireless due to your distance from the router, this may provide benefit over a built in wireless card. This is more ideal for people that use a laptop or PC to watch recorded HD content or movies that are stored on a remote PC and have a wireless AC router to pair with. It works well on USB 2.0, but to get full AC speeds it needs to be connected to a USB 3.0 port.

Thank you, Prussianette. I have since purchased a wireless adapter. I had the wrong notion that there was a dongle similar to those available for other players. There is a big difference in price between a dongle ($30,00) and an adapter ($90 TO $100.00).
