Okay, I searched, and couldn't find a thing, so i figured i'd break down and ask.
I recently got a new router, and it's finnaly increased my wireless speed to 1.0 mb/s, and I was wondering is there anyway i could really help send that to the PS3 for GT5 ? To be quite honest I'm lost with Port Forwarding and QoS and all that stuff, so is there anything I can change on the router that will help boost the PS3's connection speeds ?
 
I use a Netgear XVAB5001 Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit. You connect an Ethernet cable from your router to one piece of the unit plugged into a wall socket. You connect another Ethernet cable from the other piece of the unit plugged into a wall socket closest to your PS3 and into your PS3. This makes my PS3 run as if it is on a direct connect highspeed. You can watch streaming HD video from the internet if you want. There are other brands of the same type product that are rated just as well as the Netgear.
 
What kind of router do you have? Why do you think you need QoS enabled for the PS3 traffic? Unless you're doing something else that is very bandwidth intensive on your network at the same time as playing GT5, you probably don't need to bother with it.
