Connection to WiFi problem with PS3?

I have a WiFi router, N class. I've been told that the PS3 is not yet compatible with N class routers, which is why I'm not getting my full broadband speed on my PS3.

Can you connect your PS3 to a WiFi router using an ethernet cable, or do you need a wired router?

If I can connect it to a WiFi router, will the fact that it is an N class router still be a problem, or will using an ethernet cable get around that problem?

Currently, I have 20Mb broadband, which I get on my PC, but I'm only getting 3.0 Mb on my PS3, even though the signal strength is 100%

I have a D-Link DIR-615 WiFi router, but I also have a Netgear G class router that I could use:)

Thank You

    you are able to connect your ps3 to the router with a cable. word that the ps3 does not have an N on the spot card and could cap out at fifty two Mbps. you will possibly be having problems with interference or the ps3 may be too far from the router.

    I can't even connect wirelessly, have to use the ethernet cable, although I can connect to the Wii wirelessly.
