I'm guessing you've got ADSL? You can't have two routers connected to the same line - it'll never work.
If you're hell bent on having a seperate router for the PC and PS3 then you'll have to get another ADSL line installed which seems pointless.
Why not connect your PC wireless and your PS3 by ethernet to the same router?
Assuming you have 2 seperate phone lines and each line has a vaild BB subscription then then they are probably both assigning their IP address as 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. You need to logon to each in turn and set 1 to diff to the other, use my example above and set 1 to 192.168.0.1 and the other to 192.168.1.1.
Next thing you'll need to figure out is DHCP, best would be to keep each router on a seperate LAN so that anything connected to it's respective LAN gets assigned a valid IP address via DHCP. If you have to keep the routers both plugged into the same the LAN then you should disable DHCP on 1 of the routers and set all devices that will connect to it to use static IP addresses.
The above should be enough to get it all going.

So it's a single ADSL connection you have? Ie, you subscribe to a single ISP account on a single phone number?
Yes
Can it be done ??
Easy answer - No.
In a word; yes.Originally Posted by allyvenosa
You can only connect one router to the internet regardles of the number of phone outlet sockets in your house. If you try connecting more than one then they both try to establish a connection to your isp network but neither will connect as each is trying to get assigned with the same ip. As previously suggested hook the router up to the phone socket and use cat5 to the PS3 and then use WiFi for the PC or vice versa. Really i dont see why you would need 2 seperate routers, you may have a reason but i cant think what that is...
Technically speaking that isn't entirely correct. The second router won't get to the stage of requesting an IP address as it won't be able to authenticate. BT's radius servers won't let it login.

Yep, cat 5 is an ethernet cable. What I suggested was to plug an ethernet cable between the router and the PS3 and the connect the PC to the wireless network.
Or vice versa actually, there's no reason why you couldn't use the PS3 on the wireless and ethernet for the PC.

It won't work as you want - you can't have two routers active on a single ADSL line.
Why not keep the router in the position where the PS3 has a wired connection and then connect the PC to the wireless from the router?

You've contradicted yourself there.
How many ADSL subscriptions do you have on how many telephone numbers?
