Alternatively, follow these steps:

  1. 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.

  3. Select the “Infrastructure Mode” option and press the X button
  4. Select the “New Connection” option and press the X button
  5. You will be presented with three available options: “Scan”, “Enter Manually” and “Automatic”
  6. 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).
  7. Using the up and down buttons on your PSP highlight the network you want to use and confirm by pressing the X button.
  8. Choose the SSID setting you want to use and again use the right arrow button to continue.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. When you have entered the details press X again to enter.
  12. Next you will be presented with the “Address Settings” option. Most home networks can be configured using the “Easy” option.

  14. NOTE: Renaming the network connection is handy if you use your PSP in a number of different WIFI environments.
  15. Use the on-screen keyboard to edit the connection name, pressing X when you have finished. To continue press the right button
  16. The next screen is a summary of your connection settings.
