I have a router that I unsecured to get easier access, but my PSP says the "errour connecting to network" message, yet there's no security on the router, and another router somewhat close by equally no security that I also can't connect to.

Tried rebooting the PSP, and disable/re enabling the WLan and still have nothing.

I recently upgraded the firmware to the latest 5.something from sony's PSP website.

No one has any idea what's going on with it???

try reseting your psp factory defaults

[superdupamodman]

it could be that ure router has security but if u scan it , it says that it doesnt have security. try searching on google. or wikianswer

Reset your psp settings to Default go to System Settings-->Restore Default Settings then try see if it works.

maybe your router isnt running the right speed or something? Try reseting the router

[anaonbd]

none of my PCs have a problem connecting to it, only the psp, and I reset it to factory, and still doesn't connect.

having this same issue with 4.01 m33-2

and what is a MAC address?

[dv9unknown]

if you have mac filtering on turn it off thats the thing that my be doing something to your router. try resetting your routers settings . there should be a reset button at the back ...

Or...

mabey you have prolems with your router if u have warranty tell them 2 fix it.

Or...

It could be your psp's wireless card if you havent put any cfw on it ...
you can send it to sony so they can fix it. if u have cfw on it downgrade it and upgrade it to the latest offical sony update.
hope this has helped you. cheers

it's now asking me for a WEP Key O_o

Another reason why your psp may not connect could be due to the bandwith limit. If you have other computers in your house using the internet it takes up bandwith and will make the router signal weak. Or maybe you should get highspeed internet like everyone else.

A router will not have a bandwidth or signal decrease because of the load. The only thing that will affect the signal is proximity (distance from the router in simple terms you can understand obviously), and materials between the router and PC such as concrete, steel (mesh is the worst, that's why they use mesh in microwaves, to keep the microwaves from getting to the person).

Maybe you could just ask what kind of internet I have and maybe my experience with networks before you show everyone how stupid of a comment you can make.



Comcast Cable
Linksys 4 port router (A,B,G)
PSP that's a metre from it receives 100% signal strength everytime
PSP that has version 5.something (repeat) downloaded from SONY's PSP site
Router settings unchanged actually I removed the 128bit WEP from it. All filtering is off.


I came here to learn more because people here should know more about a PSP than I do (which is next to nothing).

Router could be blocking Mac Addresses, and don't double post. Edit the post.

HAHAHAHAHA you guys are spouting a whole bunch of complex sHiT but maybe he has his WLAN switch off? xD

[anaonbd]

found the problem. PSP's WLAN operates off 802.11b, not G like I had the router set to, now it's on B,G (A is useless for me right now, so I don't even have that option enabled).

Skype connects, internet works (well let's say the WLAN works so yeh, everything else will probably too), and now I get to buy that Go! Cam, and a skype headset, and see if at a later date skype will support video on the psp. If BT messenger can, then so can skype.

I would just like to extend a HUGE thank you for finding this breakthrough. I subscribed to this website to thank you. here are some e-flowers.... I looked through the manual like a crazy person, converted my ENTIER network to WEP because sony said the psp only connects to wep- lame. I could connect everywhere else except home- and then your post was like an angels voice in the dark. Seriously- you saved it. Please treat yourself to lunch. ;o)
