Getting online with your PSP if you use WEP
By alex | December 2, 2006
I’ve had to use WEP security for my wireless setup as I am working with a WDS setup.
This was needed so my DVD-HD Kiss Player, connected to an Airport Express, can get to the internet and download his program tv guide. And WDS only works with WEP… sigh. Otherwise I would be using WPA pre-shared key, which is much more secure and which the psp also supports.
Anyway, if for one reason or the other you do need to set up WEP, please use the 128 bit kind and set up mac filtering - the 64 bit key can be broken in the space of a few hours !
A few reminders (for you and for me) :
- your psp can only use 802.11 B networks (it confused me though, that it can see the access point even when it is only in G mode… must be a different protocol or some such)
- when using WEP, it is best to type in the actual WEP key and not the password that generates the key (the password is the one that you typed in your router to set up wireless wep security). For the 128 bit key you need to type in 26 digits.
