How to Fix Error 80130182

Let’s go through several simple fixes.

1. Restart Everything

Yes, the classic “turn it off and on again.” Try this:

Turn off your PS3.
Unplug your router for 30 seconds.
Turn the router back on.
Turn on the PS3 and try connecting again.

Sometimes, that’s all it takes!

2. Move Closer to the Router

Your PS3 may be too far from the router. Try moving it closer and reconnecting. Walls and other electronics can weaken the signal.

3. Check Network Settings

Your PS3 needs the correct settings to connect. Here’s how to check:

Go to Settings on your PS3.
Select Network Settings.
Choose Internet Connection Settings.
Select Easy and follow the on-screen instructions.

Test your connection once done.

4. Switch to a Wired Connection

If Wi-Fi is a constant headache, try an Ethernet cable:

Plug the cable into the PS3 and router.
Go to Network Settings and select Wired Connection.
Run the connection test.

This method is often faster and more stable.

5. Change Router Channel

Other Wi-Fi signals might interfere with yours. To fix it:

Log into your router settings (check your router’s manual).
Find the Wi-Fi Channel setting.
Change it to 1, 6, or 11 (these channels have less interference).
Save and restart the router.

Now, try reconnecting your PS3.

6. Update Your Router Firmware

Outdated firmware can cause connection issues. Check your router manufacturer’s website for updates. If there’s a new version, install it and then reconnect your PS3.
