PSP: How Do You Use Its Internet Connection for Google?

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) was released with functionality allowing the user to access the Internet wherever a wireless access point is available to connect to. PSP Internet includes all basic websites, such as Google, Yahoo and the likes, as well as most other sites across the Internet, excluding flash-based sites such as YouTube. However, connecting can be difficult, due to the various steps needed to establish a strong Internet connection.
