Alternatively, follow these steps:
- If you are doing this from home you may require the password security settings if these were used when you set up your WiFi. These password settings will probably use either a WEP key or a WPA-PSK key.
- Select the “Networking Settings” icon from the xross media bar ("XMB") on the PSP and press the X button to bring up the next screen
- Select the “Infrastructure Mode” option and press the X button
- Select the “New Connection” option and press the X button
- You will be presented with three available options: “Scan”, “Enter Manually” and “Automatic”
- The “Scan” option (press X button) searches for nearby wireless networks or WiFi hotspots and will pick up your home Wi-Fi if you have one. These available networks will be listed, with the networks named under the SSID column. (Service Set Identifier).
- Using the up and down buttons on your PSP highlight the network you want to use and confirm by pressing the X button.
- Choose the SSID setting you want to use and again use the right arrow button to continue.
- You then need to select your WLAN security settings. Your choice of option will be based on the information used when the home Wi-Fi was set up.
- If you press X for the edit button, you will be taken to a keyboard which you can use to enter the security code you have. This code will be either the WEP key security code or the WPA-PKS security code
- When you have entered the details press X again to enter.
