How do I connect my PSP to my home network?

📶What You’ll Need

A working TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub (or Super Router)

Your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password

A PSP with system software version 2.00 or higher

A strong Wi-Fi signal near your router

Tip: You can find your Wi-Fi name and password on the back or underside of your TalkTalk router.

Step-by-Step: Connecting Your PSP to TalkTalk Wi-Fi

1. Turn on the PSP’s WLAN Switch

Locate the physical WLAN switch (on the left side of PSP-1000/PSPgo; on top near the UMD drive on PSP-2000/3000) and slide it to ON.

2. Update Your PSP Software (if needed)

Ensure your PSP runs system software version 2.00 or higher (latest is 6.61). Check under Settings > System Settings > System Information, and update from the official site if required.

3. Open Network Settings

From the home screen, navigate to Settings (suitcase icon) > Network Settings and press X.

4. Choose Infrastructure Mode

Select Infrastructure Mode (not Ad-Hoc) and press X to proceed.

5. Create a New Connection

Choose [New Connection] and press X. You can save up to 10 profiles.

6. Scan for Available Networks

Select Scan and press X. Move closer to your router if no networks appear.

7. Select Your Network

Highlight your TalkTalk SSID (e.g., “TALKTALK-XXXX”) and press X.

8. Confirm SSID and Security Type

Press the Right Arrow to confirm SSID. Choose WPA-PSK (AES) (PSP does not support WPA2-only) and press Right Arrow.

9. Enter Your Wi-Fi Password

On the WPA Key screen, press X, enter your TalkTalk password (case-sensitive), then press Start and Right Arrow.

10. Choose Easy Setup

Select Easy and press the Right Arrow to apply default router settings.

11. Save and Test Connection

Name your connection (e.g., “TalkTalk Wi-Fi”), press X to save, then select Test Connection. Success shows signal, SSID, IP, and Internet status.

🛠Troubleshooting Tips

Check Router Compatibility: log into 192.168.1.1, set Wi-Fi security to WPA-PSK (AES) or Mixed WPA/WPA2, save and reboot.

Move Closer: keep your PSP within 2–3 metres of the TalkTalk router.

Re-enter Password Carefully: Wi-Fi keys are case-sensitive—watch for typos.

Restart Devices: power-off PSP and router, wait 30 seconds, then turn back on and retry.

Reset Network Settings: go to Settings > System Settings > Restore Default Settings and reconfigure.

Advanced: Manual IP Setup (Optional)

Choose Custom instead of Easy, then enter:

IP Address: 192.168.1.XX (e.g., .25)

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Router: 192.168.1.1

Primary DNS: 79.79.79.79

Secondary DNS: 79.79.79.80

Security Reminder

PSP’s browser is outdated and may not support secure HTTPS. Avoid sensitive transactions—use it for gaming and updates only.
