Sony PSP connection to Airport

My son got a Sony PSP for X-mas and we have been trying to connect it to our home Airport Extreme network via wi-fi. The PSP sees our network and shows a strong signal. I popped in the Hex equivalent WEP key, but when I go to connect it tells me that don't have the authority to connect. I also have a Wii that I connected without any problems. Am I missing something?

Sony PSP is a 811.11 B device (not G). So if only 811.11G enabled on your Airport, it won't be able to use it. If you made Airport "811.11G only", this is the case.
Also the security must be "WPA and WPA2", not "WPA2 only".
If these doesn't work. If you got a memory stick with PSP (I guess bundled) and if there is some other open network which you can connect (such as Cafe, neighbor etc.) , you should charge it completely and run its "Firmware update check", which is similar to OS X Software update.

  • Connection of Sony PSP to iMac wirelessly

    Is it possible to connect a Sony PSP and my iMac provided that PSP can only be connected to any computer through Wi-Fi?
    Is the built-in Airport good enough for that? I don't use it, because my internet is working through Ethernet (I've got a cable modem), so I have no clue of its capabilities.
    Thanks for your ideas.
    Mike

    I don't have a PSP so I don't know for sure, but you can use your iMac's airport as a wifi hotspot. go to the wifi menu icon in the top right corner, when you turned airport on there will be an option "Create Network...", use that to create a wifi network then try connect to that using your PSP.

  • Airport 4.2 vs Sony PSP WEP

    I don't know if Apple scans this forum for user reports of incompatabilities, but I suppose they're more likely to see them here than in Sony's Playstation.com forums. In any event...WEP encryption in the new PSP 2.0 firmware is strangely incompatible with Airports updated with the firmware included in 4.2, though it works after a rollback to earlier versions of the Airport firmware. This is with the Japanese 2.0 PSP firmware...it's possible that Sony will have fixed the bug in the U.S. version of the firmware scheduled for release later this week. If they don't, however, Airport users with PSPs will definitely want to consider a rollback. This has been posted about in Sony's forums, but I haven't seen it mentioned here. If Sony doesn't fix it, I sure hope Apple will address this in the next Airport firmware...

    I've got my PSP connected to my AEBS. Here are some hints:
    1) On the PSP, use "Infrastructure Mode" is the "Network Settings" screen. (You've probably already done this.)
    2) Continuing on the PSP, use the "Enter Manually" menu pick. (This may not be necessary, and it may be simpler to use an alternative; I'm just reporting on what's worked for me.) Enter the AEBN SSID (the network name).
    3) For the PSP WLAN security setting, use WPA-PSK (TKIP). Obviously, this is not the far less desirable WEP setting, so you'll have to reconfigure your AEBS to use WPA Personal. Nobody uses WEP anymore unless they have some very old wireless hardware that can't be upgraded. Enter the WPA Key on the PSP.
    4) Finish the network settings on the PSP. I used manual address assignment with no proxy; the PSP settings are pretty much the same as wireless notebook clients except for the manually chosen IP address. Things should work at this point.
    Again, the big change is to use WPA Personal (same as WPA-PSK TKIP). Try it and see.

  • Sony PSP & airport

    My sony psp is having problems connecting to my airport. It is asking for a 10-26 char password that I forgot about.

  • Best cable to use to connect an Airport Express to a Sony DE 1075?

    Hi, Does anyone have suggestions on the best kind of cable (RCA etc) to use to connect an Airport Express to a Sony DE 1075 receiver (the receiver was purchased about 10 years ago)...I have the receiver hooked up to a Bose Acoutimass 15 sound system. Thanks,

    If you plan to use the AUX input on the Sony receiver, then you will need a cable that consists of a 3.5 mm Stereo Mini plug on one end and 2 RCA plugs on the other.
    The RCA plugs are almost always color coded red and white to designate the left (white) and right (red) channel.
    Any electronics superstore will have what you need, as will the Radio Shack.
    If you are still not sure what you need, take a picture of the back panel of the Sony receiver using your camera phone and take the AirPort Express with you to the store.

  • Wireless Connection with Sony PSP

    I cannot my Sony PSP to the WRT54G using the wireless connection. What are the setting I need?

    I have a wrt54g v5 with Firmware Version: v1.02.0 and the PSP has firmware version 3.11.
    I shut off all security use DHCP (I also used manual settings)  If I scan for a network I can see it and it show 100% signal strength. 
    But if I try to connect it tells me it can not locate an access point.  I scanned the site, I reduced my becon times my rts and fragmentation times, still no progress. 
    I also have a WII and it also can not connect to the open wireless network.  Yet when I scan for it, the Wii can see it as well.
    I know it's my network and not somebody elses these divices are seeing as I have a very unique name for my network.
    My Router picks up my work Laptop, my personal Laptop and a friends laptop with no issues. I dont think my  router is bad but I read the forums and half the people can connect with their WII's and PSP's no problem and the other half, like me flounder.  I setup wireless networks for a living and these games have me beat.

  • AP Extreme w/ Sony PSP

    I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the Sony PSP with the AP Extreme? The PSP is picking up and reading my connection, but it wont actually connect to the internet. The Sony people said that my router must be 802.11B mode compatable??? HELP!!!

    Try assigning your PSP the following IP address:
    IP Address: 10.0.1.201
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router (Gateway): 10.0.1.1
    DNS: 10.0.1.1
    Try to connect. If that doesn't work, try putting the PSP with that address up as a Default Host in the AirPort Admin Utility.

  • Problems sharing internet connection through Airport with a PS3

    Does anybody know how to share an internet connection wirelessly with a PS3? I've tried everything including following directions from the tech support people from both Sony and my ISP (Verizon) and nothing works. Last time I've talked to Verizon I've obtained a IP number from them as Sony recommended and that did not work either. Is anybody out there with a PS3 sharing the internet connection through Airport successfully? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.!!

  • Iphoto thinks my sony psp is a camera... What do I do?

    I just upgraded from ilife '06 to ilife '08 today, and I'm having lots and lots of unpleasant surprises. The latest is that iPhoto now thinks my Sony PSP is a camera.
    ***? This certainly wasn't a problem with iPhoto 6; how do I prevent this while still letting iPhoto recognize my real cameras?

    Evidently the formatting of the PSP is such that iPhoto thinks it's a memory card in a camera. You will have to open Image Capture, go to its Preferences and set None as the application to open when a camera is connected. Then manually launch iPhoto when you connect your camera to upload. That's your only option.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Devices not connecting through Airport extreme wired connection

    Hi
    I just got an Airport extreme to use as an extention of my existing network, and to plug some devices in so that they can connect to the internet for updates (Sony Blu-ray player, dish network receiver, slingbox)...
    my wireless is from a linksys/cisco wireless router (4-port) wrt310n, that is connected to my cable modem. The airport is set and has the green light showing. The blu-ray player and dishnetwork receiver are plugged into two of the ports. The blu-ray player says it can't connect to the internet. The dish network receiver says it is connected, giving ip address/submask, etc.
    If I take my macbook pro and turn off wireless and plug into the airport it will not connect to the internet.
    What have I not done to allow wired connection to the airport extreme to connect to the net?
    thanks
    David

    Thanks for the clarification of your setup.
    Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that this is not going to work.
    The ethernet ports on the Extreme will only be active if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". But, it can only "extend" a wireless network from another Apple router. It's not compatible for this purpose with your Cisco router or any other manufacturer's router.
    If you are unable to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.
    I should clarify that if you connect the Cisco and AirPort Extreme using ethernet, you would not use the "extend" setting on the AirPort Extreme. This is only used if the device is connecting to another Apple router.

  • PSP connecting to iMac

    So I've read the first 65 posts that came up when I searched this and I didn't find anything that solved my problem.
    When I try and connect my PSP without using WEP, it gets on the web fine....but when I enable WEP and use a 13 character password (or a 5 character 40-bit) - nothing! It gives me a: "A connection error has occurred. A connection to the access point could not be established. Check the security settings for the network and try again." error.
    I don't have a base station...so I'm just using my mac's internal airport card. Anybody have any ideas to help??
    Thanks.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
    ONLY Macs can connect to a Mac sharing it's internet
    connection via Airport AND using a WEP password.
    Third party devices can not connect to an encrypted
    software base station (Mac sharing via Airport).
    Either don't use encryption (not recommended) or get
    a wireless router.
    iFelix,
    I guess what was giving me this hope was the fine print at the bottom of the Sharing dialog box regarding "non apple" computers....see picture.

    So it sounds like that most only apply if I'm using a base station, is that correct?

  • How do I connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to Epson 645 Printer?

    I can't figure out how to connect my Airport Extreme 802.11n to my Epson 645 Printer.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

    You may want to try reinstalling Mavericks. Airport Utility installed by Mavericks may no longer connect to your older AEBS (though I've not heard that.) Installing the Old AirPort Utility (Version 5.6) on Mountain Lion | frank.is.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
         Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select ReinstallLion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from
         the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
                    three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    how do I connect my airport extreme to windows 8.1

    Connect an Ethernet cable between the U-verse router's LAN port to the WAN (circle-of-dots) port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Since you will have two routers in series, you will want to reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge. (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))

  • How do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater

    how do I connect my airport extreme to wifi as a repeater?

    Thanks for the info.
    Unfortunately, Apple has designed their routers to only extend or repeat the wireless signal from other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that the AirPort Extreme would be able to extend or repeat a wireless signal from another manufacturer's router.
    I suppose that it could not hurt to try, but if the Extreme is still unopened, it might be a better idea to return the Extreme, get the information about the router at the neighbor's and then use a product from the same manufacurer that would be compatible to repeat or extend the wireless.
