How to get the Internet on your Psp

ya i have a wireles router. the exact message says " A connection error has occurred. The attempt to obtain the IP address timed out."

 

Go to Network settings
Infrastructure mode
You can now rename you connection if you want
Press --> on digital pad to continue
at WLan settings go to scan should see your network
Press X and conitnue
Now do you have any encryption on your Router? eg WEP or WPA PSK?
If it WPA PSK it wont work with 2.0 version psps youll need to set WEP instead.
Sometimes you need to set your WEP to open key instead of "shared" key open key is better for security anyway.
Now try easy IP address settings first and see if it works.
If it doesnt do you know how to configure IPs?

 

Sorry accidental double post

 

Also ya might ave to enter the psp, mac address into ur router, they dont all need it, only some.

 

peicefull, that didn't work and no i dont kno how to config my ip.
sudds, how do i do that?

 

Do you have encryption? If so turn it off and see if it works
Then youll know it is a security encryption problem.

 

If u have the manual of your router it should tell u there, or if u know the ip address of your router log on ur web browser and type it into the address bar

 

ok i typed in my IP and it says we cant find "my ip address". i ahve no clue where my router manual is so that wouldn't help. and i dont kno what encryption is.

 

In windows go to
Start - run - type in cmd and press enter
command prompt pops up in a black screen type in
ipconfig.
Now where it says default gateway write that number down that is your routers ip , you can close command prompt
Go to internet explorer now in the address bar type in
that number you just got, it should take you to your router.
If there is a password it usually is username:admin, password:admin (default unless u changed it) Now your in your router go to settings or config, find a setting called wireless security and find out your password or settings eg which type of security your using WEP/WPA or none. If youve messed with it and still doesnt work turn off your security for abit and see how it goes, turn it back on once youve got your problem.

2.and when i buy it i need directions on how to connect to the internet


PLEASE help please reply and dont be a jack*** i dont want any smart** replies i just want to know how to get on the PLEASE I NEED HELP REALLY BAD

 

Remove that email before the mods get in here, yes you do need a wireless router any will do but link sys are good and netgear are ok, when you get one just make a connection on ur psp to the router by going all the way to left on ur psp then down to network settings, then new connection then scan then test connection to see if its ok..

 

so i dont have to plug anything in and do i need a wep key?

 

No, psp is wireless so that means no cables, you can have wep key on your router for security (so no one can use ur internet connection) but if your on 1.5 then it supports wep only, if ur on 2.0+ you can have higher security but i recommend having wep as its good security and no issues..

 

and were do i find the wep key how?

 

how do i get the wep key from my wireless router??????
