How to Create a PSP Internet Connection

The Sony PSP is a portable gaming system that has wireless networking capabilities. You can use a wireless network on all PSP models. You can download games, demos, movies and even update your system if you connect the PSP to a wireless connection. You need to initially configure a connection before the PSP is able to use it. This process takes approximately threee minutes and the PSP can easily connect to the network after you set it up.
