Hey everyone, hopefully someone can help.

I have a playstation 3 and at my old place it worked fine with the internet.  We moved a while back and I cant get it to work.  (we are using our neighbers internets)  The signal is low on our laptops but it still works. However I cant connect through my playstation.
Is there anything I can do. My brother suggested looking into a wireless bridge. Would something like this help.
In case you cant tell, this kind of thing is not up my alley. any guidance or help is appreciated,
Thanks Johnny

PS3 has a "Mooch Detector" inside of it.  If the antennae has to scan through three walls to get a signal, it assumes you are too cheap to pay for internet, and cuts you off.

Sadly i say your out of luck. The PS3 wifi is pretty shitty. I can get full signal where my PS3 is with my laptop and still have a shitty conection. I been using the wifi, but now i will connect with hardline. Makes a world of difference.
