My roomates connection gets 57%+ of the wireless connection while my laptop is closest and gets less priority.
The part that really boggles my mind is the fact that when im playing on my ps3 that is actually connected via ethernet cable, the ps3 gets disconnected from the net. WTF? How is the wireless signal so much stronger that it actually disconnects a device that is connected? Is there a setting or something I can do to set a list of priorities for the connections on the router?
Please help.

- the signal strength has nothing to do with priority or percentage of traffic. I assume this is what you’re talking about, since you discuss how close you are to the router as the basis for this number
- its unlikely that the PS3 would drop off the internet due to heavy wifi usage, or at least, it
shouldn’t on a properly functioning router.
The DIR-615 is a fairly low end router, and googling for DIR-615 dropped connection yields like a quarter million results in google. I wouldn’t be suprised if the router is flaky and is rebooting under heavy load, I’ve seen many routers demonstrate this behavior.
I would pick up a cheap router from just about anywhere, set it up and use it in place of the DIR-615, and see if that helps.
