So a buddy of mine gave me his old PS3 with a nonworking blue-ray drive. I thought I would use it to download all of the games I bought on PSN and put it in my kids' room.
So I factory reset it and tried to connect it to my WiFi... it didn't work. My PS3 is connected just fine, it's just this one.
If I let it scan for my WiFi it finds it and after I enter my password it says it can not get an IP address.
So, I put in the IP, Gateway, Subnet mask, DNS manually and it connects... but only for couple minutes. After a couple of minutes, I get a DNS 8071012 error.
I tried everything I could find from google, like using google's DNS and turning off the media servers and such, but no matter what I try I can't figure this out. I'm not sure why if I try to scan and find the wifi I can't connect, but if I enter it manually it connects for a couple of minutes.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
*EDIT - Thanks for all the help with the WiFi, now I'm trying to fix the Blu-Ray drive.
