If you are using plugs, then make sure that your wiring is pretty good - older wiring can have problems with the signal too.

They're dead easy to set up too. I plugged one in next to my Xbox, plugged in the ethernet cable, did the same next to my router and it just worked. And if you ever buy something else that you want to connect to your network, you just buy another one.

Cheers for that. I hadn't thought of the plugs option.

Have you thought about using a couple of Homeplugs? I use them for my Xbox 360 and the signal's never dropped in a year of use.

Get a wireless access point, should do the trick:

Site it somewhere in between the router upstairs and the PS3.

Routers

At home I have 3 Pc's which I need to connect to the net, 2 are via ethernet and one is wireless. The router sits in a room in one corner of the house, upstairs.

Downstairs I have a PS3 which I want to connect up. It sees the signal but drops the connection regularly. It is in the opposite corner of the house to the router.

What can I get to either boost the signal from my router or is there another router out there with a better wireless coverage than my trusty old net gear router (dg834g v2)?

The PS3 is next to the main BT socket and an extension runs from that up to where the router is. I don't particularly want my main PC to go wireless though.

So what kit do you lot think I should get. Trailing ethernet through the house is not an option.
