How can I get to the Internet from my Sony PSP?

I have bought a sony psp and I would like to get internet on it. I have a windows xp and my internet connection is a bt broadband basic, it runs at 2.2 Mbps. my sony psp has a system 2.00.is there any way to put inernet on it.


Dave's Answer:

You have a pretty common configuration and there's good and bad news. The good news is that yes, you can definitely get your Sony PSP onto the Internet with the setup you have. The bad news is that I'm not exactly right when I say "with the setup you have" because you're going to need to buy what's called a wireless router to connect.

Basically, the setup you have works like this:

  highspeed Internet connection from service provider (BT in your case)

    connects to

      highspeed modem

        connects via Ethernet cable to

          your computer

What you need to do is add the new device between the modem and your computer, so that the Ethernet is unplugged from your PC and plugged into the new wifi device, which then has its own additional Ethernet plug that lets you hook directly to your PC. So now, instead of one device between your computer and "the street" (if you will), you'll have two.

There are cheap solutions like a Netgear Wireless 4-Port Router for $35 at Amazon.com, but I instead suggest that you spend a bit more and get a wireless unit that supports both the old 802.11b and newer (faster!) 802.11g protocols. Here's what I use: Linksys Wireless-G Router for about $60.

While you can configure the wireless network with a password, since the Sony PSP claims to support the various secure wireless protocols, my experience is that it never connects properly. Instead, I suggest you leave it password-free, though it's not particularly secure. If you have good neighbors, you're probably safe...

Anyway, the details of configuring the wireless router are specific on the model you buy, so I can't help with that part of the question, but I hope this will let you get going in the right direction.

Good luck!

hello dave i have a question about my psp..is it possible to go on the enternet with out the router device... i got the version 2.0...thank you

matthew said, on January 23, 2006 11:49 AM:

please help!!!!i am going on yourpsp.com and trying to do network gaming but i can find the network access code anywhere i was wondering if you knew wer to find it

MrBrosco said, on January 24, 2006 10:20 AM:

I wrote this earlier for connecting a psp to a linsys router:
http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_get_my_wireless_wep_password_for_my_sony_psp.html

While your router may not be the same model I have, the settings will be similar.

You NEED a router or access point or wifi hot spot to connect to the internet. You HAVE to set up the network connection before you can connect. If your network isnt using wep encryption , it should be as easy as following the steps in the article i posted and omit the wep part. theres no need to enter the dns settings all the time.

Be smart and try the easiest way first.

Eazy-E said, on January 28, 2006 9:57 AM:

If you have the version of your PSP and the version of it is "PSP 1001" can you still put the internet in your psp?

Dave Taylor said, on January 28, 2006 6:27 PM:

Eazy-E, you don't "put" the Internet on your PSP, you access the Internet from your PSP. The capability is included in the more recent firmware updates (firmware is the "operating system" of the PSP) and yes, the 1001 units should be able to upgrade and work fine.

Once you have the capability, however, you also need connectivity, so you'll need to be near a wireless Internet connection (aka "wifi hotspot" or "802.11b network"). Then scan, find the connection, connect, and you should be cruisin'...

william H said, on February 15, 2006 10:15 AM:

How do you access the internet to your psp without wipeout pure

Dave Taylor said, on March 21, 2006 10:01 AM:

Brian, the "Wipeout Pure" Internet access was a hack and is only relevant on early PSP firmware releases. I believe it was the 2.0 release that introduced full Internet access within the Sony world itelf, and by the latest version, 2.6, there's a nice web browser and much more incorporated. So your best bet to get online is to actually just upgrade your firmware to the latest version.

Jbphilly said, on July 14, 2006 6:30 PM:

I had recently purchased a WiFiMax to use with my cable modem in order to get online with my PSP.The the setup went fine and the PSP could see the computer with 100% signal strength but I kept getting an error that said it had timed out and could not get the IP address. After two days of reading and searching for solutions I called My ISP and found out why..You must have some sort of router that is capable of assigning multipul IP's..If you are only using a Cable/DSL Modem it will not work because they only give out one IP..I took the access point back to the store and bought a D-link wireless Router hooked it up to the modem and was able to get online Right away...Hope this helps anyone that has the same problem

There is another way to secure your internet connection while using your PSP on your wireless router, MAC address filtering. only allows the devices you want to connect. review your wireless router documentation to see how to set up MAC address filtering

I purchased a PSP for my son, and have been trying to get an internet connection through my wireless network, but have been unsuccesful. I do have a secured network that I manage, and have put in all of the info, including the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Router, Primary DNS, down to the Secondary DNS. I get this message everytime: "A connection error has occurred. A connection to the access point could not be established. Check the security settings for the network and try again". I really would like to get this fixed for my son, so that he can enjoy his birthday present. I also did a system update on the PSP. H-E-L-P, please!

I have a psp and a wireless router but everytime i try to connect to the internet it says error to obtain IP address because i need a WEP code or password the code is on the router and i put it in and it still doesn't work

Ms. Sheila said, on February 10, 2007 7:52 AM:

Issac,
I had that same problem with my internet access on the PSP. It was because of the settings on my wireless router. Something was blocking the internet access. I reset my router, and set it back to the default settings (the router). After I did this, I had to reconfigure the router, which I was informed by linksys that I should have called them for help, but now everything works fine. It may be some type of firewall setting or blockage in your router which is causing your problem...........Good Luck!!!!!!!!

Dave said, on February 28, 2007 1:14 AM:

Poor advice, not to set up a password on your router. Doing this is leaving you open to more than just allowing people to use your internet for free. They can join your network and spy on your local traffic. If you really can't get your PSP to work with a password, at least restrict the MAC addresses that can connect to the router (to your PC and PSP). Many routers support this. With your PC and/or PSP connected you should be able to see the MAC addresses from the configuration client and type them in to the list of permitted addresses, ticking a box to block any others. You should do this even if you have managed to set up password protection.

Hi Dave,
My wife just bought me a PSP for Christmas and the only thing I have done with it was to play games while I was traveling. I finally had some time to try to see what other cool things I could do with it. I have a Netgear wireless router, and both my wife and I use it (can connect with no problem) to our laptops with our WEP Key.
I tried to do the same with the PSP, but for some reason it will not connect. I followed the instructions: The PSP sees my connection, the signal is 100%, I input the KEY and then when I try and test the connection it gives me an error. I thought maybe something was wrong with the PSP, so I went to a friend's house, and tried it there. He uses an 8 digit KEY, I use a 32bit KEY. I can connect to the internet at his house, no problem.
I dont understand why my wireless works for our laptops, but not for the PSP. BTW, I think my PSP version is 2.6

ok, so i find a "hot spot" with about 20% or so of detection,and i try accessing the internet, but the dang system wants some sort of code or something before it lets me on. I dont have my internet lock on, so im quite sure that its the access point not letting me through. are certain access points blocked off to the public?I just need to figure out these codes. This is absolutly DRIVING ME CRAZY. because you have successfully helped me before, i know that you are in the power of helping me now. Thanks.

that is sutch a lie you dont need a wireles router for your psp unless you want direct internet on your psp have to types of psp a white one and the black but all you need to get on the internet is a good conection

Dave Taylor said, on June 1, 2007 8:40 PM:

What is it you think is a lie, Mohammed? That you need some sort of wireless base station to be able to connect a Sony PSP to the Internet? I agree that you can use a wireless base station that isn't also a router if you have the option (which saves you a few bucks, at best, but gives you a far less flexible long-term network topology), but there is no way to connect via USB and having a fast wired connection into your home/office is NOT enough for the PSP to be able to utilize it.

Chris said, on September 1, 2007 1:08 PM:

I was having the 80110404 error. My PSP was finding the network, and it was connecting. I just couldn't get on the internet. Tried auto and manual config. Had my wireless router configured properly. I noticed my router had a 3rd DNS entry. So I manually entered that third entry into my PSP as the first DNS server, and left the second one blank. Voila! I am now online. So, poke around in your router settings and look for a 3rd DNS entry. Good luck

Will said, on November 9, 2007 5:32 PM:

wow, there are some sad people out there.
the fisrt big problem i heard was most people thinking that you "put" the internet on your psp. not at all. what is happening is you are accessing a wireless router to the interent through your psp. second of all, of course you need to have a router! if you do have a router that is not secure you should just have to go on your psp to the "internet browser" tab and click X. (oh, and make sure the switch on the left is on.) if there isnt an internet browser, then you need to go to the psp website (which is psp.com, i think) and update, or, if yours is hacked, get a new custom firmware.

my problem is i cant get on my dad's wireless, because he has some strange setting it seems. the only thing that is different on his than others is it has a password. any help?

He cannot access the Internet on our computer without me logging him on. To my knowledge, our server is secure, but looking at his PSP memory, the server is listed that it is not protected. Is there any way to block his access, other than taking the PSP away totally?

Dave you haven't responded why not?

Dave Taylor said, on March 10, 2008 1:29 AM:

Hi Andres! Generally I don't respond to individual comments because I find that more often than not, the question asked has already been answered either in my original posting or in one of the subsequent comments. In some cases that's not true and I'll then turn a specific question added as a comment to a completely new blog entry. You can find those by using this URL:

I just bought a PSP for 50 bucks brand new, and I was like... "zomg wtf how i du ths", all noobish and stuff. After reading your posts, I felt I could be a PSP professor! Great details, easy-to-follow instructions, and fun to read!

hi dave. i have a sony psp and im havnig trouble connecting to the internet. i go through the infrastructure setup and everything is fine. i have a wireless connection and everything but when i go and test the connection it shows everything is connected except for the internet. what should i do??

DarkShadow6 said, on May 1, 2009 7:26 PM:

@Boe
Well, for one thing, do you have a firewall up? If so, configure it to let your PSP's MAC address through. This is the main problem for PSP users connection to the net. There should be some tuts on this site that could help you with that. Here's some more troubleshooting tips:

1. Do you have a modem behind your wirless router? You'll either open up some ports in your modem to let the internet through or make sure all the setings are correct on your router's setup screen (for Belkins, type 192.168.2.1 intop your address bar).
2. Did you give the PSP your WEP key if you set up security for your router? Or is there a default WEP key you need to copy? Go to the setup screen.
3. Is your WLAN switch on? Lol, noob question I know.
4. Did you set up the router correctly? Make 100% SURE ABSOLUTLY TEN BILLION TIMES OVER that you formatted it correctly.

That's all the wisdum that I have.
Hope this helps,
Shadz.
