Post: PS3 Can't Connect to Internet

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I recently did a full PS3 restore on my dex and now I can't connect to my internet via wired or wireless.

I get an error "Attempt to obtain IP address timed out" regardless if I'm connected via ethernet or wireless. My other normal PS3 works fines and so does my laptop etc.

This has nothing to do with me being on DEX as before the restore I could connect fine, now I can't.

If I set a static IP i don't get this problem except I get a DNS error.

Anyone know what the problem is as I've never encountered such as thing. If there isn't a solution I don't mind as I have another JB PS3.

Things I've tried:

Restarting Router
Reseting Router
Removing WPA Key
Disabling Firewall
Direct connection
Wireless Connection
Static IP
Port Fowarding

Reinstall your firmware, and go default factory settings.
