Do some research on your router you are looking for "MAC address" page or option within the router settings. Your device should come with a MAC address, try entering the devices MAC Address into the router page, apply the settings. Router should reboot and after rebooting your device you should have a constant internet connection.
I own a linksys router that will only allow internet to other devices by entering the devices MAC ADdress into the router.
Not really because the PSP does not connect to anything but Wi-Fi. Then only reason your cell phone can do it is because it has access to a cell phone tower. A PSP does not.
Open a brower window on your computer, preferably Internet explorer.
Enter the IP address of the router (Ex: 192.168.1.1)
Upon entering the IP address of
the router in the browser it should direct you to your router box. If
this does not happen then most likely your router box has been
configured to a different IP address. To get this IP number run the
set-up program.
Now in the routher settings navigate within your router's settings dialog and locate "Wirless Settings"
Check if you are assigned a SSID
Check your region
You should be on Channel 11. Sometimes the channel could different, in such situations make sure you are on the same channel.
Check if "Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)" is enabled
Check if "Enable Wireless access point" is enabled
Set authentication as "Open system". You will find this option under "Security Encryption (WEP)"
Set strength of encryption as "Disabled"
Now click on "Wireless Card Access List". You may need to provide your password again.
Make sure "Turn on Access control" option is turned off "Disabled"
You should now see your PSP
listed. No, you dont see then on your psp, go to "system settings" and
then to "system information". You will see MAC address, now make a note
of this MAC address.
Now in "Wireless Card Access List"
select "Add". If you are not able to do this then enter the PSP's MAC
address and click "Finish/Apply" when done.
In WAN settings, verify that "Connect Automatically as required" is enabled
In "LAN TCP/IP Settings" make note
of all of the information included. You may need this later. You may
not, but it's a good idea to take note of it now.
Under "Router Status" make note of all the relevant information included here as well. You may or may not need it.
usually there is a sticker below the select/start button. its like a barcode. and at the end of it should read something like this.....psp 1000 or psp 1001 (these are also known as the "FAT") psp 2000 or psp 2001(these are also known as the "SLIMS"), psp 3000 or psp 3001 etc.. (these are also known as the "NEW SLIM"), and of course you have the new psp which is the psp-go and they look totally different all together.
if you want to know what firmware version you have turn on your psp and go to SETTINGS>SYSTEM SETTINGS>SYSTEM INFORMATION.. and click "X" it should show you these information
system software -- the latest version of firmware u installed on your psp
nickname -- the name you gave your psp when you set it up
make sure your router doesnt have an access list! if it does then you need to put the psp's mac address in the router access list. you will find the MAC Address under system settings and system information in the psp.
First and foremost check that you have WiFi switched on, it sounds so simple but you'd be surprised how often this is the problem.
The WiFi switch is on the left-hand side as you look at the screen and needs to be in the up position to be on.
A quick note about WiFi security; WEP is useless, even 128bit, freely available 'stumbling' software can crack a WEP encrypted network in as little as 20 seconds (depending on network activity). You need to use WPA or if you're OS supports it WPA2.
Hiding you're SSID makes no difference as you're router still transmits and is therefor still visible, it just doesn't respond to access point requests.
MAC address filtering is useless because once your network has been found all MAC addresses are visible. These days 'stumbling' software even automates the task of masking one MAC address over another.
Although using as many layers of security as possible can help to keep nosy neighbours out WPA (and preferably WPA2) really is the only thing that will slow losers with nothing better to do down long enough for them to get bored.
