Level 3
is to run a speed test from speedtest.net from your PS3 browser (I don't know if it works, but I can;t see why not) and then see if you can run a similar test in the kitchen with the PS3 wired in or alternatively from a laptop.... you may find it's your broadband speed, not the wireless.....

One thing I would suggest before you buy/drill or whatever
tried speedtest, PING = 44
not sure if that is good
and i have no way of putting the ps3 in the kitchen
my result was also way lower than ISP Average

man i have the same problem my router is downstairs as well , the xbox has something cool where you put like a mini router on the back of the xbox i think the ps3 should get something like that so it will receive the signal better
but i agree with the others a ethernet cable is the best thing

Below is a post which i copied from the PS3 network forum - this did the trick for me! Invovles going into the routers software, but it worked superb for me - has been fine since also

You should keep switching between those channels till you get the best signal on one of them , after a long period you might have to switch them back again , I was using 1 then had to switch to 6 after about a year , it started just cutting out all the time and I only got like 40% signal strength . I now get 80% - 100% and my router is fairly far aswell XD . "

Your router should come with some software on a CD, One the software is installed you reach it on a web browser by putting in address something like this "http://192.168.1.1/" Then there will be various options, one of them will be changing the channel.
When i first got my PS3 it was fine, but over the last 6 months it kept signing me out, things took ages to download, and gaming was a little laggy. But since i changed the channel it is now perfect again. I think it depends on what other people are using for their channels in close by houses etc.
Hope this helps.

its all about being wired. i have 20Mb so wireless would make me slowerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. i get around 2MB a sec when downloading a demo or whatever.
im currently at 70% signal strength, so with an ethernet cable, it should hopefully go to 95-100%, would this make my downloads super fast?
