How to Connect PSP Wireless Connection to AT&T Router

An AT&T network router will allow devices such as the PSP to connect to the Internet wirelessly. For the PSP to connect wirelessly, it must be within range to pick up a strong signal from the access point. There are many things that can interfere with the PSP&'s ability to connect to a AT&T router besides the actual connection settings. These things include household objects such as microwaves, TV sets, fluorescent lights, electronic insect zappers and Bluetooth wireless devices.
