Sony PSP

Hi Guys!

Can anybody configured successfully Sony PSP (v2.00) WPA-PSK (TKIP) with WL-500g (v1.9.2.7)? Please tell me how? :)
Wireless mode: 802.11B Only
Authentication method WPA-PSK
WPA Encryption: TKIP
WPA Pre-Shared Key: xxxxx :)))
WEP Encryption: none
MAC Access Mode: Disable

Sympthome on PSP: step 1: Connecting to access point
step 2: Exchanging key information
step 3: goto step 1

Many thx!

are you sure it's the right key? ;)

If Sony PSP's input field "WPA Key" same as the WL-500g's WPA Pre-Shared Key, then yes, i'm sure! :)

Another problem: I configured PSP to WEP authentication method. The connection has established with the router, but not obtained IP address from DHCP server.
The PSP is display the following message: "Obtaining IP address...", and wait, and wait, and wait... At finally: "A connection error has occurred. The attempt to obtain the IP address timed out."

Have you used HEX WEP key?

Derfel

Yes, i used hexadecimal (26 charaters long) WEP key.

Hm... Do you've wl500g running in home gateway mode with dhcp server enabled?
02-09-2005, 13:44
Derfel

Yes, and the MAC access mode is disabled.

Yes, I can
I think your problem is that
setting of "Authentication Methods" is wrong,
you must set it "Open System or Shared Key"

Grrr! What device's firmware is wrong? I tried older WL-500g firmwares, but neither doesn't work with PSP with any secured connection settings, only with open system mode. :(

I had the similar problem getting USRobotics 9106 AP to play with wl500gx
It seems getting different vendors wireless products to talk to each other can be a big problem.

Hm. I methought the WiFi communication is standard... :cool:

Hi Guys,

I had the same problem, but managed to get the psp connected if I set my wl-500g to 802.11b mode. (wireless -> interface -> wireless mode)

after I changed that the psp connected without a problem. I tried lots of different settings, set the 500g to use no encryption at all and so on, but the only way I got the psp connected was when the 500g was set to 802.11b mode only.

thanks,
Notti

PSP can only connect to AP's.

That means? :-)

Nothing much actually :D

But, I've found an interesting site with lots of info on the PSP: http://pspcrazy.com/

Sony PSP and WL-HDD (and shoutcast) combo

1. anyone using this setup? im planning to get a wl-hdd and im just wondering if the wl-hdd can stream mp3s to PSP? the PSPis capable of playing internet radio from shoutcast servers. is there a shoutcast server for wl-hdd?

2. another thing is, based on what i have read so far, wl-hdd can become mp3 player by plugging a USB-soundcard or usb-frm-transmitter in the usb port and can be controlled by a pc in the network. if it can be controlled thru a web browser, is it possible to use the PSP as a remote control thru the web browser built-in to the psp firmware 2.x?

i dont own a wl-hdd yet but planning to get one soon cause i have a toshiba 2.5 hdisk 80gb which im planning to fill-up mp3s and some files for sharing in my home network. thanks in advance.

Did you try http://http://www.us.playstation.com...roubleshooting ?

You'd probably have better luck getting advice if you gave info on what you have tried and what error messages you get.

I myself have my PSP working with the wl500gx.

So now I know that is IS possible....I almost gave up....

Can you please tell me what firmware version you use?
Also I would like to know what type of encryption you use.. wep/wpa and that type of settings.
If I have these basic answers I can try to copy the result.

Please help :D

That is a good start!

I did not use WPA so far, because there is one laptop in the network which does not support this. (Old wireless card)
But if this works I will exchange the wireless card of the laptop.

What firmware did you use on the router???
26-01-2006, 09:58

1.9.2.7-6b (Oleg)

Have you actually tried connecting the psp??????? As per my original post what error messages did you get!!!!!!!!

The problem is that it is not my own network but from some-one else....so I've been trying for 2 hours without any luck.
And I'm not exactly a newby to wireless coms :-)

I even tried an unprotected network but this didn't even work.
SSID is vissible all the time and I even tried different channels.

Most of the time I got "not able to make a connection" or "unable to retrieve a ip adres.
All error messages were in Dutch ofcourse :D

But now I know that it is possible I will give it a try again.

Thanx for the advice!!

?? which PSP firmware you all got

I have no problems connecting my PSP with the 500g
But I have to say that I have 1.50 on my PSP, so I can't use WPA. I have to use WEP for encryption, and it works fine.

mac filtering is on, wep128 is on
no problems :)

At this moment the PSP has firmware 2.5.
But I will update it to 2.6.

This week I will give it another try!

(And ofcourse post the results here)
29-01-2006, 10:43

I had to go to 2.6 because I was using WPA.

But is there a difference between 2.5 and 2.6 related to WPA?
I will just update to have the lastest (and hopefully greatest :-) )
29-01-2006, 10:51
3dfx

AFAIK the 2.5 just supports WPA(TKIP), don't know if 2.6 supports AES encryption, I'm not sure about that....

I switched from WPA to WEP just because my PSP 1.5 doesn't support WPA, and with the less traffic that I have, there's no way to crack the passphrase ^^

3dfx: what firmware do you run on your wl500g ??
29-01-2006, 12:11
3dfx

I have the official 1.9.5.0 on it with WEP enabled.

perhaps you set up your PSP wrong, or missed something
I have entered everything manually (SSID, IP, Gateway, DNS servers)

try that (if your already didn't)

This WL500G is running 1.9.4.0.

So my first steps will be to update the router and the psp.
29-01-2006, 14:26
3dfx

I had 1.9.4.0 for a few days too, worked well fine like now
I just updated because I had more problems with my ADSL2 line with 1.9.4.0

?? did you try it with WEP, or just tried WPA

If you try WEP you have to enter the calculated "WEP Key 1 (10 or 26 hex digits)" not the Passphrase you entered :P

so far I tried only WEP. Also I tried the 10 digit and 26 digit variant.
I even tried on an open network.
But then the DHCP did somehow not give a IP adres.

I also tried with a fixed IP....also "not able to make a connection"

The feedback that the PSP gives is also really limited so you do not know WHAT goes wrong....

Keep you guys posted on the progress.....

?? did you enter your ISPs DNS server IP's in the PSP

I had the same problem, it didn't work with WEP and open neither.

But I forgott why it didn't work :p
