Question

It says my PSP needs its own IP address. When I punched in the IP address I knew, it said the PSP needs its own beyond the MAC address. What should I do?

Community Answer

Turn on WLAN and go to the internet and when it asks for wifi, punch it in with the wep/wep2 and password.

Question

What if my WiFi is WPA2 and not WPA?

Community Answer

In general, a device that can connect to WPA should be able to connect to WPA2. If you're having trouble connecting, try accessing your router's interface and enabling UPnP. This setting allows the easy addition of external devices.

What should I do if it says "Connection failed"?

Community Answer

It's not a problem with your PSP problem. Maybe your router has turned off the main connection to go to proxy.

Question

When I try to connect my PSP to Wi-Fi, I get a message that says "the WLAN switch on the PSP system is not turned on." What does that mean?

Community Answer

An unmarked switch on the side of the PSP needs to be in the "on" position. If it is not, the PSP will not connect to the internet. Check your PSP for the switch and change its position.

What do I do if I get a message saying security is not supported?

Community Answer

It means your PSP is not fully updated to the current version of the system; update it, and try again.

Question

What should I do if it says my signal is too weak?

Community Answer

Try to elevate your router to clear it from obstructions and increase its signal. If the signal is still too weak, you'll need to either purchase a booster, or use the PSP closer to the router.

Question

What do I do if my PSP doesn't have a WLAN switch?

Community Answer

If your PSP does not have a WLAN switch, you cannot connect to the internet. If it has a missing switch, you can replace that, it is pretty easy to repair.
