    Hey, I didn't know if this is the right forum to put it in so sorry. Anyway, I can connect to the internet by my computer, but things like my psp, xbox live adapter, etc. can't pickup the adapter. I tried scanning for adapters through my psp and it won't pick it up for some reason. It may be my protection system, but I dunnp. How do I fix this?

    When you say wireless adapter, you mean a wireless router right?

    First thing is the login to your router to to configure the settings.

    Depending on the routers manufacturer the login details will differ to others, if you can post make/model that would be great.

    It sounds like to me that the wireless function in the router isnt enabled. Or the ssid name of the router has been disabled, hence why you cant find it.

    Best thing to do is read the manual you got with the router as it will explain how to set it up in more detail. Basically you will have to login to the router via a interet browser e.g. firefox using the address & login details the manual states. From then on enabling the wireless should be easy, again the manual should point you in the correct direction.
