How to Create Access Point for PSP Using WiFi Adapter

If your computer has a Wi-Fi adapter and you have a PSP, you can connect your PSP to the Internet through your computer. This is especially useful if you do not have a wireless router, or if the router is out of range of where you use your PSP most of the time. By using a system service application, you can connect your PSP to the Internet and play games online with your friends in a short period of time.

To open Connectify, go to the notification tray icon that Connectify installed. The notification area of your computer is where your system clock is located. Click the Connectify radio wave icon to open its settings.

  Name your Wi-Fi hotspot by typing it into the "Wi-Fi Name" box. Enter a password in the next box. This is the password people will need to use when they connect to your hotspot.

If your computer is connected to the Internet with a wire going from the router into the computer, select Local Area Connection. If you are connected wirelessly, select Wireless Internet Connection.
