PSP Wireless Connection

[mcdhu]

Can anyone please help with this?

My lad and I are attempting to connect his psp to my home network using the 'New Connection' prompt. My network is WEP protected with a 10 digit code, but when we put the code into the WEP Code window in the PSP, it tells me that the code is invalid. I am taking the code directly from the router settings (DG834G). SSID and wireless access are enabled and access control is not on.

Regards and thanks,

What level of security are you using?

I have a DG834N and one machine on my network would not connect whatsoever whilst I ran security at WPA2-PSK [AES]. As soon as I dropped the router a level to WPA-PSK [TKIP] it connected no problem. Had me foxed for ages, I can only assume the drivers for the wireless card in the errant PC (one of the newest on the network ironically) just were not compatable with WPA2.

Just a thought.

Edit - re-read your post, if you are using WEP, then the above can be ignored. I'll leave the post in case it helps anyone else.

Still struggling with this - thanks Timmcat. Anyone else please.

Its a while since I did it but I could not get online using anything I tried and I am pretty computer savvy - eventually I went online on my PC and downloaded a PSP update from the PSP website and then installed that on the PSP - that fixed it and then using the correct method I was able to get online. It has to be the ultimate wind up - you need to get a patch to be able to get online but you cant get online to get it :-(

I don't know if this fix will sort it for you but it did for me.

Are you entering the pass key (hex) or pass phrase (ASCII)?

Possibly Case-sensitive? Unlikely, but worth checking.

Also, check what key length the device is expecting - 64 or 128 bit

- If your product vendor requests 40-bit keys, use a 64-bit key (10 digits).

- If your product vendor requests 104-bit keys, use a 128-bit key (26 digits).

Might sound daft but you do have WLAN switched on on your psp?

I'd go along with Saab's theory about hex or ascii. My lads will only work if we enter the full key in hex
