How to Start the Internet on Your PSP

The Playstation Portable (PSP) includes a built-in Wi-Fi adapter that you can use to connect to wireless Internet networks. Because the PSP does not include an Ethernet port, wired connections are not supported. Once connected to your wireless Internet network, the PSP will have access to online multiplayer games (in games that support the feature), downloadable content and streaming media courtesy of the Playstation Network.
