How to Use a USB Wi-Fi on a PSP

Plug in your USB Wi-Fi adapter to your computer’s USB port to broadcast a wireless signal from your computer. These ports usually are found on the front or back of a desktop computer "tower" and along the side of the keyboard on most laptops. The USB Wi-Fi adapter will take you through installation steps if it isn’t already installed on your computer.

Turn on your PSP and go to “Settings” and then to “Network Settings.” Hit the “X” button to choose “Network Settings.”

Scroll down, and highlight “Infrastructure Mode” and select it by pressing the “X” button.

Select “New Connection” to create a brand new Wi-Fi connection or select an “Existing Connection” to edit. Press “X” once you have selected.

Scroll to the “Scan” option and push on the right direction button to search for access points that are nearby. Choose the USB Wi-Fi access point you want to use after it is done scanning. Press “X” to select the access point.

Enter the SSID code of the USB Wi-Fi adapter. It will be located on the device. If it doesn’t have one, simply press the right directional arrow to continue.

Choose the type of security on the next screen. If there is no security for the USB Wi-Fi adapter, choose “None” and hit the right directional arrow to continue.

Enter the security code on the next screen, if there is a security feature. The type of security along with the code should be on the USB Wi-Fi adapter connected to your computer. Press the “X” button and enter the encryption code. Then press the right directional arrow to continue.

Choose “Easy” as the address setting on the next screen to set the Internet settings automatically. Press the right directional arrow to continue.

Enter the name of the connection on the next screen. This can be whatever you’d like to call the connection. Press the right directional arrow.

Make sure all the information is correct on the next screen and press the right directional arrow. Press “X” to save and confirm the settings. Then press the right directional arrow.

Test the connection on the next screen by selecting “Test Connection.” The PSP should automatically connect to the USB Wi-Fi adapter, and a screen will pop up to tell you the Internet connection is successful.

Open your PSP Internet browser and test the USB Wi-Fi on your PSP.
