ok so everything is up and running. im such a dummy so simple. ty for the help.
bad news is my ping is super high through my ap between 500 and 800 ms.
and my ps3 is 2 to 3 time higher in ping.
my average ping with computer connected directly to the modem is about 23 ms.
oh am i able to have my ps3 outside the firewall or i do need to just setup up the firewall and port forward for it.
is theres a way to have my ps3 show as nat type 1?
oh and my firewall is currently disabled on the zentyal

Could you temporarily hook a laptop/desktop into the AP via cat5 and re-test pinging to 8.8.8.8?  Also what are the ping times to 8.8.8.8 from the Zentyal machine?

desktop test sending in bytes=32
zentyal  test send in byte=64

what i dont like about this is the folling..


you are  plinging   1  local router (zentyal in this case)  by  IP...
than you are pinging  google public  dns server ...  but than you are pinging not google  but yahoo...
where from my standpoint you would have pinged google.com 


anyway,  43ms  too google.com  is a bit hight but absolutely within any normal limitations...  this leads me to beleave that the 500ms  ping time  is releated to dns resoltuion and not to network routing


that said,   you should find out why this is...  a first logical step for me would be to check  how fast zentyal local terminal   will be at pinging  8.8.8.8  and than  yahoo.com
All tips hints and advices are based on my personal experience.
As I try my best to be as accurate as possible, following my advice is always at your own risk,
I claim absolutely NO responsibility in any way!

ping from zentyal to www.google.com instead of 8.8.8.8 is only 32 ms

DNS lookups happen at the beginning of a ping run so after the first ping it will not effect the time of flight.  I chose 8.8.8.8 specifically because it is:

A) an IP address therefore DNS is taken out of the picture.
B) It is the IP address for googles dns service and typically has short hops between local and the target.

pinging www.yahoo.com  or www.google.com will give varying results because those urls will point to different servers on a round-robin basis.

What did this test tell us.

Anything on the wired network is getting good physical connectivity to the interenet with decent latency.

This leaves the wireless network and specifically the wireless router as the probable culprit.  What model/make of router do you have?

Give me some time to read the manuals for it.

it pretty much only has a one click setup.
with 1 option:
Choose IP Address settings on this access point
            Get dynamically from existing router
        Use fixed IP Address (not recommanded )
im using dynamically

I have a series of places to check:

First have you done a wireless survey to ensure that you are not being stepped on with your current channel selection?

Did you reconfigure the router to be just an AP?  Dumped port triggering etc?

Did you clear out any keyword filtering/turn the feature off?

Are you using the nas features of the device?

There are quite a few items that are configurable on the device.  You might want to page through the manual.
