Is there any computer online using the router.
If not then you will need to connect the computer to the router.
If yes then you can open the router set up page on that computer.
router set up page is the page where you can check all the router settings.

You will need to go to your routers control panel through a computer. Usually the address is 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.2.1.

Look for wireless security and check for your password settings, you should find your key there. If it does not help please post your routers model number.

Cant connect to the internet

You did not elaborate further why you cannot connect you PSP to internet. But I will assume that you have a wireless connection within reach and that your PSP Wi-Fi switch is turned on (switch on the right).
1.) If your wireless network requires a Network Key (WEP or WPA), you need to know the exact key to be able to connect to it. 2.) To connect to internet, open Internet Browser in your PSP and this will prompt you to connect to a Wireless network. 3.) To set-up, press the 'scroll right' button (>) until you reach the "Network Key". Choose the type of key your network is using (WEP, WPA or other) then press 'scroll right' (>) again until you reach the last menu. 4.) If you do not encounter any error, you can start browsing. If you still do, you may have to leave the specific errors or further details of your problem for us to assess...
P.S. My favorite is God of War (I hope you have tried playing it)...

I cant get my psp on because it keeps askin me for my wpa key! where do i find that. its not on my router.

Hi Friend, In this case UI would like to tell you that the WPA key is the same password that you use to connect to the Internet wirelessly from your system.
The WPA key is the password that you set for the wireless network at your home. So, I would recommend you to try and enter the wireless network name's password

How do I find the WPA key ?

If you are trying to connect the PSP through a network that belongs to you, then the network administrator is the person to ask for the WPA key.
The WPA is like a password. It protects the network from unauthorized access.

Whats the wpa key in the psp

The wpa key is the wireless password for whatever wireless network your trying to connect to.
You cannot use these wireless networks that have wpa security unless you get the relevant key from the owner of the network

I'm trying to get on the wireless internet, but i don't know the wpa key and when i do try to get online it takes forveer and it says it timed otu

hi, to get the wpa shared key you need to contact your network service provider and ask them for this key as they do this to stop people hacking into your wireless devices.

You need to contact them and explain what you need it for then they will let you know what this key is as its not for a laptop or pc it works slightly different with a laptop or desktop computer you would use a memory stick to get the wpa key and then insert it into the laptop or desktop device to then programme it to the correct wpa key but as the psp is wireless in itself then you need to contact your service provider and ask them to provide you with the correct key.

Doing this will solve the problem your having.

Let me know how you got on or if you need further assistance ok

My psp wont connect to my wireless internet at home, its asking for a WPA Key. i dont know what that is so i cant get it to connect, please help. i live in south africa if that helps

Your wpa key is the key that you created to secure your wireless network. You are going to need this for any wireless device you try to use on your network because it is to stop unauthorized access. You will need to access your wireless router to find out the key if you do not have it written down. You should be able to do this using your computer. Most wireless routers will require you to connect to it with a network cable in order to access it to gain this info.
