Weird error message

Question

A few days ago,I got a Netgear Model 6220 router.When I went thru setup &amp; was adding my PS3 game system to the allowed device
list,I got a prompt that refused because my PS3's MAC address was a duplicate.So what? It is the correct address,read right off the
system ID list.What gives? Please help.

Are you connecting the PS3 via wireless or wired?

I have a Wired (Ethernet cable) connection.

DarrenM · Answer

You should not need to add it to the allowed device if the system is wired this is only needed for wireless.

"duplicate MAC address" is only problem mentioned; PS3 will not connect over brand-new ethernet cable.
