  Select the "Settings" menu on your crossbar. Scroll down using the directional pad to "Network Settings" at the bottom of the menu.

  Select "Infrastructure Mode," then "New Connection" to start the set-up process. Several options are available for entering the information, but using the "Scan" setting is recommended, since the PSP will gather information from any nearby access point.
