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

Is there any way at all to bypass a wep password on a wireless connection?

Now it wouldn't be much of a security mechanism if you could easily defeat it, would it, Yovanni? :-)

i 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?

Michael, 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]

hi
my psp cannot connect to the network for some reason each time it says there has been a connection error. how can i connect i do have an access point and it did work earlier, but now it will never work no matter how hard i try. i am having a big problem please helm me!!

i dont know my ssid

Hi 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.

My 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?

Sounds like the Sony PSP is junk. It does not communicate with encrypted wireless networks which basically means it does not work on line.

You 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... :-)

How could i find out what my WEP password is?????

PLEASE HELP ME

my 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!!!!!

i need help where would it tell me my wireless routers WEP code im trying to get internet on my psp

If 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...

dave 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.......

i 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 :)

o 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

Dave, 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.
But, the thing is that it doesn't have any security settings (its listed as NONE). Please anyone tell me if you know why.

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.

Yea 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.

Oh nevermind, I didn't do that. But now I just did, and it worked! Thanks Dave!!!

hi,
how do i find out the WEP key for my wireless router????
It says:
SSID
(the name of my modem)
Security
WEP
Strength
80%

I tried to say my security as normal, but it doesnt detect the modem!
How do u find WEP???!?!!!

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

I 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.
i have a weird problem. when i connect in adhoc mode to my wireless card on my laptop it will only send and not receive. i have 2 different cards the other will receive and not send data. i have used adhoc before with these cards and my psp with no problems till just the other day. anyone have any ideas?

hi whats the key???

The "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. :-)

wat up dave
my mom just bought a new wireless modem and i can go anywhere in the house but i don't know the WEP key password. Do you know where i can find it?

Hey Dave.
I was wondering, is there any particular reason why you have not decided to address the issue of the 80410D07 error that PSP's are generating? I myself have the same error, and was wondering if you could help me resolve it. I have a 1.5 version firmware, and was able to previously able to connect until a few weeks ago, using the WIPEOUT exploit. As far as I know, nothing has changed really. The computers and routers are all the same, and have not been modified. There is no WEP key, and no other security at all. I have double checked this. What is wrong? Thanks for your help,
Jake.

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.

i a successfully making a connection to my router,but my psp says that a dns error has occored. help please

I 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

Eric, 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?

how do i find out the wep key for my psp,

Dave 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

does anybody know what in the heck an access point is because i have no clue what an access point is.
Thank you.
Please, only emails that are about my question.

does anybody know how the location free player works. All that i know about it is that it has something to do with satellite t.v. that's all.
thanks for any advice on this subject and the last one that I posted.

I have a pc with a network adaptor that created an ad hoc network for my laptop xbox360 etc works no problem, but i just got a psp and scan for netowkrs and it finds all my neighbours etc but not mine, doesn't detect it at all? Whys that....

hi where can i get a wep code from?

When I try to connect to my non-secure wireless connection at home, a connection I've used hundreds of times without event, I now get an error as the attempt to obtain the IP address times out. The PSP sees the connection and I've gone through the set up procedures over again, but it always times out when obtaining the IP Address. Any ideas?

Hi my name is Albert I just got 512.mb high speed memory stick Duo. I was wonering how do u get wireless internet

PSP finds asscess point but then gives error "A connection error has orrured. The attempt to obtain the IP address timed out". Any ideas?

Help 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:
http://192.168.1.1
Username = admin
Password = admin

3Com:
http://192.168.1.1
Username = admin
Password = admin

D-Link:
http://192.168.0.1
Username = admin

Microsoft Broadband:
http://192.168.2.1
Username = admin
Password = admin

Netgear:
http://192.168.0.1
Username = admin
Password = password

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!

psp'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!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE help

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.

QUESTION: WHY DOES IT SAYS CONNECTION IS OUCCRED.

AWNSWER. BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE A ROUTER IN YOUR AREA.

QUESTION: WHEN I CHOSE SCAN. IT SAYS 100 SPEED STRENTH AMD HAS NO SERCURE BUT IT SAYS NO EBALE TO REACH THE ADRESS.

AWNSER:BEACAUSE THAT PERSON HAS A WIRELESS ROUTER BUT YOUR DONT. AND ITS NOT GOING TO WORK BECAUSE THAT PERSON IS FAR AWAY FROM YOU.

QUESTION: HOW COME I DONT HAVE A INTERNET BROWSER IN MY PSP?

AWNSER: YOU NEED TO UPDATE TO 2.01 TO DO THAT.

when i try to connect to my network it says a connection erro has accerd please check surcrity seting and try again but i did every thing you told me to and i saw the comment were it says version 2.7.1 cannot connect to a wep with more than on shared wep so i updated and it still says it. Also on that post it talks about a open system or both what are those ???????????????????

My 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.

I 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

This 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.

Help 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:

Hi, Dave. You may have answered this question already, but I'm just wondering if I can save myself the cost of a USB cable by connecting wirelessly to my Powerbook to grab pictures, songs, and movies for my PSP. I'm getting the same error message that most of the folks on here are getting when trying to connect to my open wireless connection that I created with my AirPort.

Thanks,

I noticed a lot of people were saying they had a "connection error" and no other details. I came to the embarassing realization that the WLAN switch wasn't in the right place on my psp... I kept entering my SSID and re-entering my WEP key over and over. In case there are other psp noobs like me who didn't realize why they can't see their routers when they scan.... THAT LITTLE SWITCH IN THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE PSP TURNS ON YOUR WIRELESS!!!! *sulks away*

Hi,

I don't know weather it's my PSP that's screwed up, or my computer. i know it's not my PSP because it was worked in other houses. My problem is, i can't go on the internet, every time i would try, it would say, "Obtaining IP address.
Please wait..." then it would say, "A connection error has occurred. the attempt to obtain the IP address timed out."

what should i do to fix this? the PSP or computer. if any, please tell me.

Hi again,

i kind of understand that IP thing, but now i'm wondering about my WEP key. i don't know how to find it, and i hear people talk about a router, but i don't know what that is either.

how do you get enternet on your psp without scanning the area?
And i scanned my area and a name came up and the strength was 56% and i clicked it and it came up (a connection error has ocurred) what do i do about that also?

please help me dave a connertion error has ocurred

please help me tnx tnx tnx.

Hey dave, I ave a laptop with WI-FI and i always used this conenction called defualt and so when I got my PSP I scanned for it and found it with the signal being at 67 percent but every time I try it 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 WHAT DO I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, 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.
I now can get through EVERYTHING on this, connecting to the network and such, but when I try to connect to the internet it says the connection is failed. I have no idea what is going on, and I don't have time to sift through everything online to do this. I don't understand what happened, and I've tried both internal and external IP combinations and DNS things...not that I know what the DNS does or anything.

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?

When 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!

hi my psp dount work when i turndit on go on enternet comes up it says (1)signal two weak(2)IPadress A connection error(3)A connection to access could not be established(4)help man!

I 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.

PSP 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?
Many thx for any help you can provide.

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!

Ummm my psp keeps saying ip address timed out
and im confused at that and i dont know my wep
password how do i find it im stressing out about
this can anyone help? @_@

I i am using a WIFI max and whenever i try to load ZDLAN utility it opens and quickly closes.Why does this happen?

Hi

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.

so 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

more issues than solutions.

The guide was nice. Followed step by step.
Still no connection. No wep just wide open.
Router isant the issue. PC's connect without no issues and they are wireless.
PSP see's the router but will not connect.
Funky.

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?

All i want to know is if i culd connect my psp wirelessly to my computer without a router or access point, to share internet
i dont care how id do itthe "hacker way" if i have to

Alright, I've been hitching a wi-fi ride on one of my neighbors' connections for a while. About a month ago, they had it turned off or something, but then had it turned back on a few weeks ago. Now, however, whenever I try to connect to it, the screen just says "Connection to the server failed. A DNS error has occurred. (80410410)". I have absolutely no idea why it would do this, and I don't know a way around it. Any suggestions?

What does it mean when it says 'key information timed out'. I have typed all the relevant info in correctly, the psp is no more than 3 inches from the working router but it still won't accept the settings. Please help?

when i connect to the internet it says time out.. do you have to know every code for the psp to connect to the internet. please help

Hey Dave i have a problem
for my psp when i go to scan it shows ssid and the name of the wirless connection with security as not supported and signal strength as 85 and it wont let me conect to it. why is it like that?

I resolved my issue.
PSPGo / Verizon FiOS / Router: M1424-WR

When connecting to my wireless network, I repeatedly received a network connection error indicating my network signal may be too weak. No way. I scratched my head until my fingers hurt. I setup the connection over and over with the same results (thinking my WEP Key may have been enterred incorrectly). All other devices (9 total) are communicating without failure. I rebooted my router, and all is well. The PSP was assigned an IP address, and I am now connected. Hope this helps.

I HAVE A N300 NETGEAR ROUTER AND WHEN I TRY TO CONNECT MY PSP TO IT, IT SHOWS THE NAME OF THE ROUTER IM TRYING TO CONNECT TO THEN IT SAYS NOT SUPPORTED HOW DO I FIX IT??

Hey Dave, I have a problem I have a wireless router and I have 3 computers hooked up to it. I am now trying to hook up my psp to my router. My psp can find my network but under security it says Not Supported and my signal strength is 100%. I have rebooted my router several times to see if thats the problem and I have also taken my psp back to default settings. None of this has worked. Please help me. Thank you

HI Dave.

i have a internet Connection for my PC
I want to use my PSP Go to browse internet using My PC Via Cable,..

Pls Help..??

Thanx

I am trying to connect to the internet. When I select scan the SSID of my home wireless network appears at the top of a list. In the Security column it says Not Supported although the signal strength is 100%. My network is also grey and unselectable. What do I do to connect?

To those people that are having the issue with the SSID showing up with the Security saying "not supported" and grayed out, I have an answer for you. Through troubleshooting on my routers security settings I saw it said WPA2. I changed the setting to WPA and it worked. So, that is a likely fix for that issue!
After changing it to WPA you will have to reconfigure your other wireless devices to that setting as well.

hi dave i am trying to connect my tp link router to my psp it is wireless and shows up on the wireless network list but it says not supported
How do i connect to the internet?

I picked up signal mith my psp that said "FBI survailance van 2" now how far will my psp pick up network or whatever?

i all..I have been having the same problems with my Nintendo DSi, PSP and PSP Go.
The problem is that those devices only use 802.11b. Most wireless routers these days use 802.11g but should be backwards compatible with 802.11b. Make sure in your wireless router settings that '802.11g operation only' is disabled. Once disabled, your devices should be able to connect correctly. Hope this helps.

i want to buy a psp online and don't how to do it

holanyo, your best bet, just go to Amazon.com and search for "sony psp". :-)

I am trying to connect a PSP. My laptop and other devices are successfully connected in the house ... I even put the PSP within 3 inches of the router and it detects the WiFi connection at 100 % and my neighbors at 60%. Of course I used mine. I checked the information the SSID and the WPA atr correct but when I connect it says "No network is detected." ??? Is PSP just junk when connecting to a network? I am trying to download music and need the software on the PSP.

I received a Sony PSP-3000 as a birthday gift. For two weeks I fought to make the PSP connect to my Wi-Fi as stated per Sony. I have a better than average wireless router.
It is a Linksys E2000 N router, up to networking standards. After fooling with it for two weeks. I contacted Sonny aka SCEA tech support. Spoke to Elvis, after going over troubleshooting. He placed me on hold came back ant told me that the PSP does not work with the N rated routers. It was a problem Sony knew about and never fixed. Nor did they advise future customers of the issue. I contacted the HQ of SCEA in CA. Spoke to a Jan, who explained that they were aware of the issue and did nothing to fix or make customer aware of the problem. I was given three options: 1) Buy another/different router (i.e. a b/g rated), 2) goes to a Wi-Fi hotspot like McDonalds, Starbucks or 3) adjust the parameters of my router overtime I want to use the PSP. I now have a $139.09 paper weight, due to the failure of Sony not providing proper info on packaging and website

Hi i here people have problem setting up the PSP to the web i had the same problem for 2 years all most.
the problem is solve with any PSP.

Simple Easy Way Setting wiress PSP UP to the Internet.

1)Turn on PSP
2)Go to PSP settings to Network Settings
3)Choose Infrastructure Mode New Connection do a scan select the access point to be used is your Internet company.
4)SSID is your Internet company name.
5)Choose WPA-PSK(TKIP).
6)The WPA Key is your Internet password that is to log on to the web after add the password in go next and save.
7)The problem is solve you can start searching the web.

a wep is a password of your router or modem i cant remember but u could go 2 ur pc and go 2 network options or wut ever then it will say ur router or modem password

@ MyworldPSP
He is correct besides the WPA encryption part. Most routers by default are set to a WEP Key which is the older unsecure way of protection. However WPA and WPA2 are the newer ways of protecting your Wireless Internet connection. You can easily log on your router with these default(if you didn't change username or password) settings to check what encryption your router is set at.

user:admin
password:admin
Then Click on My Wireless Network.
If your PS3, PSP IS NOT picking up your network or keeps getting cut out, change your Wireless Channel to 11, its set to automatic by default.

I have a PSP 3004 am using a Linksys E3000 router. My PSP is not connecting to the wireless even though all other devices are easily. It does connect using other public wireless access points. So I called CISCO support who advised that P2P is not reliably connecting when using WPA2 Personal OR WPA2/WPA Mixed node and instead we should reset security to WPA Personal. Dave or anyone know what all this means and how we can connect
