hi everyone I discovered your forum while searching on google, I have a 2.0 PSP and I am wondering if I can access the internet on my psp from my own PC without having to find one of these 'hotspot' things, I live in the UK, i have the USB cable and a NTL broadband modem thing, Sorry if i sound stupid I'm jus not too good with this kinda thing. Would really appreciate any help or advice.

carl91 · 03-14-2006, 09:42 PM

Anybody? please I'd appreciate it.

Well, in order to get online with your home connection you must have a wireless router. You can find one at any electronics store.

Oh...I see , I'd have no idea where to start with that but my neighbour might have one he's good on computers... Maybe i should put a tent up outside his house and steal his internet thingy in true british style :P

Anyway thanks for helping although I'm afraid i'm no better off, might get one of these router thingys and hope i can work out what to do

All you do when you get one is plug your internet cable into it and your PSP will automaticly find the signal.

Sounds like a plan.

I did a scan from my house and it picked up a signal from a wanadoo broadband thing ( probably my neighbours as I'm on NTL) and i managed to get the signal strength to 85% but unfortunately when I try to use it, it asks for a WEP key and a WPA-PSK key on the WLAN security Setting...

Any Ideas?

If its something my neighbour would know then they would probably tell me because theyre ok people.

Why don't you just buy your own wireless router. I got one at Wal-Mart for $50 and it works fine. The only your going to get to use your neighbors is if you ask them for the WEP code.

carl91 · 03-18-2006, 09:29 PM

Yeah I think I will just buy one, probably alot easier, what can you do once you get the router, other than browse the internet on psp because thats a bit useless because i can just use my PC for that.

THSshorty13 · 03-18-2006, 10:02 PM

You can play other people online. For example Socom is a great online game. I never use my PSP for browsing, just to play people online.
