Infrastructure Connection Guidelines
============================================
- Ensure the PSP(TM)Game you are using is capable of Infrastructure Mode gameplay. You can find
this information printed on the back of the game box. Only PSP Games with the "Wi-Fi Compatible (Ad
Hoc/Infrastructure)" printed on the box is compatible with Internet (Infrastructure) gameplay. On
the contrary, PSP Games which has the "Wi-Fi Compatible (Ad Hoc)" printed on the box will NOT be
compatible for Internet gameplay.
- Verify that the WLAN switch on your PSP(TM) portable entertainment system is turned ON. You must
push the WLAN switch UP to turn it on. The WLAN button is located near the lower-left corner of the
PSP system.
- Does your Wireless Access Point (WAP) support 802.11g wireless devices? If so, please make sure
that it is configured to also communicate with 802.11b devices, or is in "Mixed Mode". Putting the
WAP in "Mixed Mode" will allow it to communicate with both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless devices.
- Verify that your Wireless Access Point (WAP) is securely connected to your broadband modem or
router. Verify that your Internet connection is working correctly (you can test this using a
computer connected to the broadband modem, router or WAP).
- Verify your SSID. Since scanning for SSIDs with your PSP system can pick up other wireless
networks, make sure you have selected the correct SSID which belongs to your own wireless network.
It is also possible that your WAP has the SSID broadcasting feature turned "Off", which means your
PSP system will not pick up the SSID when scanning for available wireless networks. You will need
to either turn "On" the SSID broadcast feature on your WAP, or speak to the administrator of your
network to obtain your SSID.
- The PSP system supports WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption technology, capable of using
128-bit/64-bit encryption keys. The PSP system does not support the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
encryption technology at this time. If your wireless access point has WPA enabled, you will not be
able to connect to this WAP with your PSP system.
- Verify that you do not have any devices which may interfere with a wireless signal. If any such
devices are in close proximity, make sure they are shut off to ensure no such interference is
present. Such devices include:
a. Microwave oven
b. Florescent lighting
c. Bluetooth(R) wireless devices
d. 2.4 gigahertz cordless phones
e. High powered audio equipment
f. Television sets or computer monitors
g. Electronic insect "zappers"
h. Any other electronic equipment that may produce Radio Frequency (RF) interference
- Does your Wireless Access Point filter MAC addresses? If so, you will need to enter the PSP
system's MAC address into the filter table as an allowed device. In other words, you will need to
tell your Wireless Access Point that your PSP's MAC address is "OK" to allow onto the wireless
network.
To find the MAC address of your PSP system:
1. Remove your UMD(TM) from your PSP system.
2. Turn on your PSP system and press the "Home" button.
3. Navigate to the "Settings" icon (located on the far left).
4. Navigate up/down until you see the "System Settings" icon. Press the "X" button.
5. Scroll up/down until you see "System Information". Press the "X" button. You will see your MAC
Address listed inside.
