Winnie says:
In case you don't know, PSWii is PS3 and Wii.

Aaanyways, I was just wondering what the wireless of the PS3 is like compared to the Wii's. My Wii has pathetic wireless range, and at the moment I have to use a kind of stupid satellite thing to slightly increase its range. But I don't want to spoil the sexy PS3's look with ANOTHER crappy satellite thing.

I have had a wii but not anymore but i can still answer ur question,

The PS3's wireless controller is on blutooth technology, The wii is just some GHz signal i think, well the ps3 can go alot further then necassary.

oh, about the same becoz I had them in the same location as each other, maybe the ps3 is a little bit better becoz it can actually do big files and stuff..

I use a wired connection so I have no probs...

Because of where my ps3 and wii is (same area as each other) i only get a (at top) 67% signal strength which is alright considering there's a few walls between the ap and the consoles. So long story short i wired my ps3 so it's speedy but my wii remains wireless as it doesn't need to download files which are hundreds of megabytes in size. But either way it still downloaded fairly fast via wireless.

What's the distances between your routers and consoles? What channels are your routers set to?
