CFW-based workaround for FAT PS3 Wi-Fi interference?

Hi! I recently acquired a CECHA PS3, and it does not detect any Wi-Fi networks at all. At first I thought it had a broken internet module, but after some research, this seems to be related to a poorly documented issue described in the following video:

From what I understand, certain early PS3 models may have problems handling environments with very strong Wi-Fi signals. In these cases, the Wi-Fi chip appears to become overloaded, preventing any wireless connections from being detected or established. The same interference also seems to affect the Ethernet port, which fails to connect as well, while Bluetooth continues to function normally.
When attempting to connect, the system reports error codes 80010201 or 8001000A. This does not appear to be a faulty Wi-Fi module as I tested the same PS3 in a low-interference environment (a beach area), and both Wi-Fi and Ethernet worked correctly there.

Could a CFW-based solution be developed to address this issue?
I understand that it is related to older PS3 Wi-Fi hardware, but would a software-level workaround be feasible?
For example, forcing the PS3 to ignore certain Wi-Fi signals or channels during scanning? Or at least, a simpler workaround could be letting users manually disable the Wi-Fi module in the options, since many people with this same issue reported that unplugging the antenna made the ethernet port work again.

Hello. Thank you for your feedback.

A quick answer to your question is no. At least I don't have the skills to make a solution like the one that you propose. Honestly I doubt that the issue with WiFi could be interfering with the Ethernet connection. It could be a partial error in your hardware or a wrong configuration.

In regards to WiFi, instead of a signal too strong, the issue could be interference from other devices in the room or in the neighborhood, or a wrong WiFi protocol (PS3 uses the old standard IEEE 802.11b/g while modern routers could be using 802.11n/ac/ax). Also the WiFi channel could be saturated or not matching with the ones supported. Also it could be the router not broadcasting the SSID or TCP ports blocked in your LAN.

The issue with the Ethernet commonly is related to the cable (wrong type, broken pins, crossover, too long, etc.). I recommend that test with another cable, try direct PC connection, move the PS3 closer to router and use a shorter cable, check if other devices can connect using the same cable from the same location, check open ports in the router, check DSN, IP mask and other settings like not duplicated IP address.

Thanks for the reply! Regarding the video I linked, it is not simply someone speculating or presenting unfounded theories. The author owns multiple PS3 models and conducts extensive, repeatable tests to support his hypothesis. Based on his methodology, the behavior appears to be consistent across different hardware units and environments, which suggests this may be a real, reproducible issue rather than isolated hardware faults or simple misconfiguration on a single system. I realize this may be a bit inconvenient to ask, but if you happen to have some time, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look at the video I linked, even if it is to verify if there's something with his methodology.
