Hi,

When I try to connect wirelessly to the Internet with my PS3, my Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11N) restarts and the router (ZyXEL 650 Prestige) crashes!

However, when I test the configured connection on the PS3, it tells me that it's able to get an IP, and thus to connect to the internet and the PSN!?
My PS3 Nat Type is 2, which is also ok!

What's the problem?

My Airport is connected via ethernet cable to my router and runs in "Bridge Mode"! Therefore, port-forwarding is only done on the ZyXEL router!
The wireless network is protected by a "WPA/WPA2 Personal" password and is broadcast on channel 11! "Mac Address Access Control" is currently turned off.
Furthermore, UPNP is enabled on the ZyXEL router!

When I configure my PS3, I enter a static IP Adress, match the DNS Servers with the ones from my ISP, type in the router address (ZyXEL not Airport?), I turn UPNP on and enter the correct WPA code!

I don't understand why the PS3 test tells me that everything is ok?
However, when I try to connect to the PSN, I get an error and the attempt results in the crash of my airport and router!?

The router has 192.168.1.1 as IP address, the Airport 192.168.1.40, the local computers occupy some addresses (192.168.1.33-39) and the PS3 uses 192.168.1.66!

I'm really desperate!
Can somebody help me please.

Thanks.
