Why won't my Sony PSP see my wireless network?I am trying to upload version 2.5 on my PSP. I went to network connection and did the first step. Next it came up with the screen asking my SSID and enscriptioon. I chose scan and it came up with: wireless -- WEP -- 80% Whenever I chose the wireless WEP one, it would ask me for my WEP key. Whats is a WEP key? How do I find out what my WEP key is? When I chose the belkin54g connection (which would only come up in certain spots)it always had a weak connection and when I chose it it would still not connect. Whenever I would try to connect, the messages "A connection error has occurred. The access point was not detected" OR "A connection error has occurred.(80410D07) Then when it said address settings I chose "Easy". Does that have to do anything with it. All I want to do is upgrade my PSP system. Can you please help me? While it would be nice if wireless networks were a breeze to work with, completely transparent and magically simple, the fact is that there's still a lot of complexity, a variety of semi-compatible protocols and the entire puzzle of security and privacy. That's what you're seeing with your problems here. With your wireless network, your Sony PSP won't connect because you need a special password that was set by the wireless network administrator. That's what the WEP is: Wireled Equivalency Privacy. It's one of a set of different password and security protocols (all incompatible with each other, unfortunately) that let you work with a wireless network without exposing all of your network traffic to anyone within range. A WEP password typically either looks like a word or phrase, if you're lucky, or a sequence of letters and digits similar to c1164fd533, not exactly something you're going to be able to guess. Indeed, if the "wireless" network is your own, hopefully you know the password and can enter it when you configure that access point on the PSP itself. If you don't know the password then that network is inaccessible to you. In terms of the beikn54g network, I believe you're exactly right when you guess that the signal is just too weak for the PSP to work with it, even though the PSP device "sees" the network when you do a scan. Can you move closer to that base station so you have at least a 50% strength signal indicator? That might be all you need to do for this to work, actually. Also, if you're just trying to upgrade your PSP, please do note that you can accomplish that with a regular computer and a USB connection between your PSP and your computer. I explain the process here: Sony PSP Firmware Update Instructions. Finally, for those of you who run or utilize wireless networks, there are a lot of important security and privacy issues you need to know about, as my colleague Chris Buechler and I explain in great detail -- along with tons of how-to information about remaining secure on open networks -- in our new book Connect Safely Wireless Security and Privacy Guide for Windows.

I have something related to that. i am trying to connect to a wireless network that is at 100% connectivity. the security says that it has none but when i try to connect it wont let me it says that a problem has occured check the network settings. please help -thankyou Posted by: Marco at December 12, 2005 8:16 PMIs there any way at all to bypass a wep password on a wireless connection? Posted by: yovanni gonzalez at December 13, 2005 7:25 PMNow it wouldn't be much of a security mechanism if you could easily defeat it, would it, Yovanni? :-) Posted by: Dave Taylor at December 13, 2005 7:50 PMi am really confused on how to connect my wirless on my psp. i just dont get it. could you help me with almost every step? Posted by: michael shipley at December 25, 2005 9:31 PMMichael, it is confusing. Here's what you need: 1. Turn the WLAN switch on the PSP to "on" (it's a silver slider switch on the lower left *edge* of the device) 2. Access to a wireless Internet network that doesn't have a password. Then you should be able to 'scan' for networks, pick out the one you want to use, and go online. [Note: While the PSP supports various wifi password schemes, notably WEP, I haven't had any luck with password-protected sites myself and haven't heard from others that it worked either] Posted by: Dave Taylor at December 25, 2005 10:53 PMhi i dont know my ssid Posted by: darrell at December 27, 2005 5:30 PMHi Dave, can you please help me? I just bought a wireless Netgear router to get online with my PSP. I have been online with it before but now it gives me an internal error message of 8008273A. I called SONY and Netgear and no one could help me. they told me to mail my PSP in for repairs. I have 100% signal strength. It gives me the error at the last step when I try to save the settings. SONY could not even figure out what that error code ment. Please help. Posted by: todd at December 28, 2005 6:12 PMMy psp wep problem is a bit detailed - I know my wep key and have tried it but with no success. When I have setup Win XP PCs to access my wlan, I also need to provide other settings, like if the wep key is "shared" and whether it is 64-bit, 129-bit etc. but the PSP doesn't ask for those. Maybe it expects certain ones and my network is not what it expects? Posted by: Richard at January 2, 2006 6:29 AMSounds like the Sony PSP is junk. It does not communicate with encrypted wireless networks which basically means it does not work on line. Posted by: Ed at January 9, 2006 2:53 PMYou could perhaps decide that's the case, Ed, or you could look at the unit and say "wow, it plays world-class games, I can download thousands of songs, photos and even DVD-quality movies and TV shows, I can buy UMD disks that give me even better movies, AND it can play multiplayer through adhoc wifi or the Internet and gives me a Web browser. Darn cool" I guess it's a matter of perspective. If I were only looking for a Web access device, I wouldn't buy a PSP, but that's like buying a car because you want somewhere comfortable to sit... :-) Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 9, 2006 5:48 PMHow could i find out what my WEP password is????? PLEASE HELP ME Posted by: VoLTareN at January 15, 2006 6:50 PMmy psp keeps bringing up the error wlan switch is not turned on but i flicked the switch on the left with arrows on and still the same problem it was working before and it just stopped working can someone help please!!!!! Posted by: Blady at January 16, 2006 12:09 PMi need help where would it tell me my wireless routers WEP code im trying to get internet on my psp Posted by: joe at January 17, 2006 5:46 PMIf you're being asked for a WEP password, then it's because you're trying to connect to a secure network. You'll need to get the password from the owner of that network, not me. It's like saying 'how can I get into my neighbor's house?" in some sense... Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 17, 2006 6:11 PMdave im not asking what my WEP code is im asking where can i find it when we were setting up this wireless router we just turned it on nothing asked for our password...do you kno if it says it on the box or anything like that? or on your computer i dont know....... Posted by: joe at January 17, 2006 7:09 PMi have something else to ask...last nite i did this thing called web update my friend told me it made u able to get on internet without an acess point but it took away all my memory! and gave me some thing called rrs which id like u to explain 2! thank you so much dave ur really helpin just reply :) Posted by: joe at January 18, 2006 5:14 PMo yea i forgot to ask you if i could get rid of web update in my last comment sorry im causin you so much trouble...thanks Joe, see this article for information on how to find your WEP key: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_get_my_wireless_wep_password_for_my_sony_psp.html Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 19, 2006 10:38 AMDave, I had been using my neighbors internet connection for a while, (they dont care), then i went on a trip. When I came back I tried to get on the internet again, and it always says connection failed, check the security settings and check again. Willie, sounds like you might just need to recreate the access information. Go back to System Settings -> Network, scan again, find their network, and reconnect to it. Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 22, 2006 10:08 AMYea I did. I think this has something to do with the fact that they have a different computer now. I dunno. I found another connection that i can go on, at least, so i can use that for now. the only thing is that i have to go outside to connect to it. Posted by: Willie at January 22, 2006 3:47 PMOh nevermind, I didn't do that. But now I just did, and it worked! Thanks Dave!!! Posted by: Willie at January 22, 2006 7:47 PMhi, I tried to say my security as normal, but it doesnt detect the modem! PSP Dude, please check out this related article; http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_get_my_wireless_wep_password_for_my_sony_psp.html Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 1, 2006 11:27 PMI have tried to get my psp to work with wep. it has never liked it. turned off wep set mac filter and turned off ssid broadcasts works just fine. now for my problem.. lol if anyone has any ideas just let me know. hi whats the key??? Posted by: adam at February 9, 2006 10:44 AMThe "key" is the actual password for the wireless network: I can't give you the key because, well, then the ostensibly secure network would actually be completely insecure. :-) Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 9, 2006 2:56 PMwat up dave Hey Dave. I don't know anything about the WIPEOUT exploit, Jake, which is one reason I haven't addressed the topic. Another one is that I'm just darn busy and there are only so many hours in the day... :-) I'd be very interested in hearing the results of you trying a different open wifi network and seeing if it works for you. Posted by: Dave Taylor at March 3, 2006 9:58 PMi a successfully making a connection to my router,but my psp says that a dns error has occored. help please Posted by: eric at March 6, 2006 5:49 PMI have 100% connection and there is no security but when i try to get on it says 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 later. wat should i do Posted by: Dalton at March 26, 2006 6:59 PMEric, that's a classic sign of not having the right password for a protected network. Does your wifi network indicate that you need WEP or WPA? And did you enter a password? Dalton, I think that there are some wireless networks that just aren't configured properly for DHCP somehow. Have you tried the wireless network with a PC (or Mac) and verified it works properly and lets the computer get on the Internet? Posted by: Dave Taylor at March 27, 2006 8:42 AMhow do i find out the wep key for my psp, Posted by: william at March 27, 2006 8:16 PMDave Taylor i need serious help and i need a professional can you please help me with my psp i am tryin to hook up infrastructure mode that way i can go online to play games Posted by: Donald at April 1, 2006 10:42 AMdoes anybody know what in the heck an access point is because i have no clue what an access point is. does anybody know how the location free player works.

I was wonering how do u get wireless internet Posted by: Albert at December 14, 2006 11:53 PMPSP finds asscess point but then gives error "A connection error has orrured. The attempt to obtain the IP address timed out". Any ideas? Posted by: Conig at December 16, 2006 1:23 PMHelp to connect to your wireless router with your PSP. First. Make sure your settings on your router are setup and you have written down what your settings are. If your PC is already connected to the router open your web browser and type one of the following address (e.g http://192.168.1.1)dependant on type of router you have: Linksys: 3Com: Make a note your SSID or put in a new one (keep it simple). Go to the security option. Choose WEP 128bit. Type your passphrase in and make a note of the encrypted version generated (think it's 26 digits). Also, make sure Wireless B mode (or mixed B & G modes) are selected. PSP's don't work with 'G'. Save settings and exit. Go to network connections on PSP and scan for networks. Select yours (will display name of your SSID). When prompted enter the details you have selected or entered on your router for your WEP security etc. You should then be connected to the internet via your PSP. Hope that helps it worked for me! Posted by: Kev at December 20, 2006 9:54 AMpsp's are useless my1 always times out trying to find the ip address im going to smash it up with a hammer soon, when ever i read a artical its like its written in another language can any1 put it in laymens terms, HELP!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Brandon at December 27, 2006 9:55 PMwhen I try to connect to the web everything goes right until i try to test the connection when it obtaining the ip address it alwas times out? To Everyone!!!! 1. you need a wireless router that goes wirelesly go to your psp. 2.if you dont have a ssid you can go to scan. 3.near the router your the name in the router is going to be in your psp. 4.Make sure that your router is strong. 5.After that test the connection. 6.if its between 60-100 speed its okay. 7.now go to network update. 8.Update the networking extensions. it will give you a warings of internet. 9.Go to the internet browser. 10. Write the adress like google.com 11. It will be there for like 15 seconds. 12.if you have problems look below. ------------------------------------------ QUESTION:WHY DOES IT SAY DNS ERROR OUCCURED!!1 AWNSER:MAKE SURE ITS NEAR THE ROUTER OR YOUR MIGHT HAVE TO WRITE THE SECONDARY DNS.

Also on that post it talks about a open system or both what are those ??????????????????? Posted by: Alex at January 18, 2007 5:55 PMMy PSP worked fine on my linksys broadband G wireless internet conncetion at home. I then upgraded to a Linksys Broadband wireless N router to help with longer wireless distances. Now I cannot seem to get my PSP to connect, even when I change the settings to what I think the new config. should. I am on channel 4 now. Should I change this channel? Is there something I need to know? This new router is no longer on wep security settings. It is on PSK2 personal. I have set this as I think it should be also. Posted by: Zachary Green at January 29, 2007 8:24 PMI too Need help with networking my psp, i have all the things right i.e. ip dns etc, but when it comes to cp to the inter net it says that there is no connecten, when i'm right by my wireless thing, and WLAN turn on........ If you could e-mail me back helping me i'll gratefull, but your probly too busy to help Posted by: Jamie at February 3, 2007 5:39 AMThis comment posted by KEV. Is just spot on. I dont have any of the routers listed. I just bough a cheap one call PEAK 802.11g/DLS Wireless Router and It works great with my PSP. I could only get my o2 XDA Mini and my PSP to work when my network was Unsecure, Now that ive changed the settings to the below Its working great. I did however find it easier to make my security ASCII. I tried wep but it kep saying the wep key i was entering was invalid on my PSP. (IT WAS THE CORRECT CODE) Plus it takes ages to enter the 26 code. So if ur PSP cannot connect to a secure network and only an unsecure. DO WHAT THE MAN SAYS BELOW. First. Make sure your settings on your router are setup and you have written down what your settings are. If your PC is already connected to the router open your web browser and type one of the following address (e.g http://192.168.1.1)dependant on type of router you have: Linksys: 3Com: D-Link: Microsoft Broadband: Netgear: Make a note your SSID or put in a new one (keep it simple). Go to the security option. Choose WEP 128bit. Type your passphrase in and make a note of the encrypted version generated (think it's 26 digits). Also, make sure Wireless B mode (or mixed B & G modes) are selected. PSP's don't work with 'G'. Save settings and exit. Go to network connections on PSP and scan for networks. Select yours (will display name of your SSID). When prompted enter the details you have selected or entered on your router for your WEP security etc. You should then be connected to the internet via your PSP. Hope that helps it worked for me! plzzz help me.... um.. this is all so much to cmprehend and i dont get it i need like step by step directions on how to set this internet up cuz i tried and it says cant obtain ip adress or like i just dont get it! plez someone help.

Posted by: Malcolm at August 23, 2007 1:28 PMAlright, I know my WEP key, and I put it in, and this fixed my problem a while back. Now my dad got a laptop and switched us to VerizonFIOS. I have no idea which one made it not work, but one of them did something. Help? hi, i'm having some trouble here, my psp netwroking doesnt work, everytime i try to connect it says "A connection error has occurred.(80410D07" what do i do? Posted by: Anu at October 16, 2007 7:06 PMWhen I enable WEP encrytion, the PSP will only accept 8 characters. I have a D-link router and my WEP key is 10 characters. If I don't have any security on my wireless router then I can connect my psp to the internet just fine. Please Help!

Posted by: teina at December 8, 2007 4:00 PMI know this thread is old but I need some help. I am having a problem where my PSP will only detect my router part of the time even if im sitting right next to the router it will always show it at 100% when it does see it but it only sees it about once in every 15 scans. For some reason it seems to not have any problems at night though. I do have it set up on WPA-PSK (TKIP) and thought that might be a problem but even if it was it should still be able to at least see the connection. Posted by: Alex at December 22, 2007 9:14 PMPSP sees my network, it has 100% signal strength but the security is not supported. I have a Linksys WRT300N wireless router. How can I connect to my network? Just my two cents, hopefully this will help. For some reason, my PSP won't work unless my router is set to B AND G support, not just G. Once changed to Mixed support for both types of network, it works just fine. I said to me that it was a security issue with my WAP, but it wasnt. Good luck! Posted by: Caius at December 25, 2007 5:27 AMUmmm my psp keeps saying ip address timed out I i am using a WIFI max and whenever i try to load ZDLAN utility it opens and quickly closes.Why does this happen?

Posted by: michael at January 26, 2008 11:18 PMHi I own a PSP lite 2000 series. Bought it in Del, India and got custom firmware 3.7 M33 loaded. Since then the WLAN is not working. Everytime i scan for a network (I have all network codes and two laaptops work on an ad-hoc setup), the psp reports an error and comes back to the main menu. I dont know whether is a hardware error or a firmware patching error. I cannot play on WLAN with my friends. Please please provide some feedback. Posted by: Suprateep at February 12, 2008 2:31 AMso um hi the (wep key) is a key for secured networks that have u know keys kinda like passwords for ur networks so other people won't drive up 2 ur house and steal ur connection that if u don't have a wep key code so it is located on the back of ur router on the bottom try some of those keys itwill work Posted by: Reuben at February 18, 2008 8:14 PMmore issues than solutions. The guide was nice. Followed step by step. hey there i need a hand. ive just got my new psp, (ive owned one previously) and im trying to get it to connect to my wireless network. i have a very good D-Link Router and ive got it configured on network magic. ive set up wireless to my bros laptop and wired to my ps3 and xbox 360 as well as the wii. now since ive just got this psp im trying to configure it to wireless internet but i cant seem to get it, each time i try to test the connection (ive done the scan and got all the settings and im not using a wep or wpa, no passwords, i just have my system locked so i dont have intruders) anyway, when click add new devices on network magic it unlocks the router and internet so i should be able to add the psp. each time i try to connect with the psp it says "a connection error has occured. a connection to the access point could not be established. check the security settings for the network and try again. Now ive done this several times. damn thing. so like i said ive tried everyting i know, and ive already done it once so i dont know why it wont work now, can you help me out?
