psp and wireless

barjam_2

i have just updated our version of the psp's we have had for a couple of years we have a netgear router dg834gv3 its configured to use wpa but i cant connect the psp's it keeps searching then saying connection error i am putting in the correct wpa key i've checked and double checked it:mad: :mad:
any ideas anyone what i could be doing wrong? i only want it so my kids can play together wirelessly,

do i need to update my router or does it update itself ( gawd i'm so thick:o )
we also have nintendo ds's but as far as i'm aware they can only accept wep which i'm reluctant to change from wpa to wep is there any news on nintendo updating the ds to wpa

This would seem to be yet another case of Sony not being as good as it's always cracked up to be! Only supports WEP according to this article here.

thanks espresso

as that was dated may 2005 would sony not have updated by now ? on the psp it gives the option of using wep or wpa you wold think if it gives the option of wpa you should be able to use it

OK try using a HEX key e.g. 0-9 A- F

i've used the encryption which i used via albertoss's link re- wireless and i dont fancy changing it as i'll have to change everything ie wireless phones wii etc....:o the psp is capable of using all the symbols in my encryption

A HEX key only contains the characters 0-9 and A-F as per post #5 above. Some equipment won't work together when ASCII characters are used it's very easy to change the key anyway. Get a HEX key from here.

If you followed alberts guide, did you enable MAC adress filtering?

Log into the router again and see if you enabled it. Disable it and see if your PSP then connect.

from what i'm looking at i have not selected allow mac filtering

my psp on 3.80 works fine with my dg834gv3 using wpa-psk

untick the turn access control in wireless settings > Wireless Station Access List and see if that has any effect.
