The Wi-Fi connectivity of the PSP holds many exciting features from allowing you to play games online and with your buddies, exchanging pictures, and even browsing the internet, which just proves that the PSP is more than just a simple handheld games console. Setting up the PSP to browse the internet is a lot easier if you have a wireless router connected. Once connected you can follow the 7 simple steps outlined below to get connected.

Step1 – Go to Settings and then select Network settings

Step2 – Select Infrastructure Mode and start a [New Connection]. By setting up in Infrastructure Mode, you will be able to take advantage of the more exciting features of the PSP, such as browsing the Internet and playing games online with your friends.

Step3 – Access the WLAN Settings and select scan to search for an SSID of nearby access points. If you find more than one access point, simply connect to the one with the strongest signal.

Step4 – Once an SSID is found, select it (make sure you don’t rename it) and move to the WLAN Security Settings. You should note that if the access point is using WEP encryption, you will need to enter the WEP key manually (when the access point is detected, it will display the type of encryption it is running. WEP key should be displayed on your router. If it displays none, simply move onto the next step.

Step5 – Now you have a couple of choices of either Easy or Custom in Address Settings menu. I suggest you selecting the Easy option which will complete the Infrastructure Mode set-up automatically.

Step6 – Choose your Connection Name and enter it. A Setting List will be displayed. Press x button to save settings.

Step7 – Test Connection to make sure everything works. If all is okay, Network Settings will display Connection Name, Signal Strength, SSID, BSSID, Channel, Security and IP Address.

In a nutshell there we are, 7 simple steps to connect your PSP to the internet using a wireless router to enable you to start surfing the internet, playing games online with friends, exchanging pictures and downloading your favourite RSS channels.

A WEP key is a type of security code used on some WiFi wireless networks. WEP keys allow a group of devices on a local network to exchange encoded messages with each other privately. A WEP key is a sequence of digits and also certain letters. It should be displayed on your router.

An SSID is the name of a wireless local area network (WLAN). All wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID in order to communicate with each other.
