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%
belkin54g — none — 10%
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.
im having a problem my internet works on my CPU but when trying to get on thru the psp it says 87a7 not supported 95%

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
hi, i have the web key and the ssid

i have 100% signal and my security(none) but my psp can’t connect it always says connection erro access point could not be establish please help me
@ 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.

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.
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

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
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.
holanyo, your best bet, just go to Amazon.com and search for “sony psp”. 🙂
i want to buy a psp online and don’t how to do it
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 picked up signal mith my psp that said “FBI survailance van 2” now how far will my psp pick up network or whatever?
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?
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.
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?
HI Dave.
i have a internet Connection for my PC

Thanx
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
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??
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.
