Connect PSP To Internet

Now that you know how to put music, movies & pictures on your PSP, let's learn something even more exciting; how to connect your PSP to internet. Connecting PSP to internet will help you appreciate the awesome power of your PSP.

Are you ready ? Here we go:

1) You'll need a wireless router to connect your PSP to the internet wirelessly. You can get it for under $50 for a range of about 500 feet. Since you'll connect to internet using your computer's internet connection, a router with a lesser range is just fine.

2) Install the router's software on your computer. Depending on the router that you've purchased it may ask you to create a firewall. Do create it as it is a good idea to secure your router. You don't want any malicious programs to mess up with your PSP. Select 128 bit encryption as it is most secure.

3) After the router installation is successful, open the browser of your PSP and it should detect the internet connection automatically. You will have to enter your firewall password the first time. Save the settings and you are all set to browse the internet.

Tips

• Get latest firmware before you try to surf the internet from your PSP. Sony Warranty doesn't cover all malicious programs or viruses.
• The WLAN switch on the left side must be pushed upward for the WiFi to work.
• The internet on your computer must work properly before you attempt to connect internet from your PSP. If the internet doesn't work for your computer, chances are it wouldn't work from your PSP!
• To access internet from a hotspot, just switch on your PSP and start the browser. It should detect the connection automatically. If it doesn't, check the WLAN switch.
