Using wireless router for Playstation Portable connection

I've had my PSP for a little while now and I mainly use it for it's internet feature. I've been using my router (with wireless connection) for my laptops for years and so things have been completely fine logging onto the internet with my PSP. I recently downloaded an update for my PSP and the internet connection started to slow down A LOT. Now, I can't connect to the internet at all. I know some people may say to contact Sony about this, but I'm sure Sony's first response would be to contact my router manufacturer. Does anyone know what I can do?
My model number is WRT150 V1.1 and I heard that it may have to do with the MAC address for my PSP but I cannot find ANYWHERE in the setting for my router where I can allow a certain MAC address permission to use the wireless network.
If anyone knows anything, please share. Thank you!

To enable MAC Address Filtering follow the link here , the link will only give you screenshots to find the MAC Address of an Ethernet Adapter Wireless Network Connection and not for a play Station...
If you know the MAC add of your PSPyou can follow the link from where it says "Permitting Wireless PC from Accessing Your Network"

Best Wireless Router For British Telecom Connection...?

Can anybody recommend/advise on the best wireless router to suit an Apple Macbook?
TIA

Again. Apple (for whatever reason) doesn't make country specific devices generally with a few expections. Your MacBook in the UK is like my MacBook in the US. Same with Time Capsule. It's the same everywhere. I just don't think (and I'm speculating which is sort of a no-no) they want to open a can of worms and have multiple configurations of a device that can be handled locally from your ISP. Your ISP provides the modem, you plug it in to Time Capsule and that's that. However if you bought a Apple Time Capsule in the UK I certainly couldn't use it with the modem built in. One I don't need a modem and two it's unlikely to work.
You're correct though I guess it would be nice to have an all in one solution but I doubt you'll get a Time Capsule to do it.
Good luck anyway!! If I hadn't just bought an Airport Extreme I would've gotten Time Capsule as well.
Have a good one.

How do I set up my wireless router for a secure connection

I lost my password to access my router. I reset the router to added a wireless printer and I now I'm trying to secure the connection. I have tried 192.168.1.1 IP address, but it takes me to Bing.com. I can't get to the login page to type in the admin password.

First of all do not use the Wireless computer to access the Router's setup page.Use the wired computer.Check the ip address you are getting from the router..Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,adjust Browser Settings... Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on OK...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now try.......

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."

In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

Cisco Model 870 router for home office connected to WRT160NL wireless router for personal use

I am using a Cisco Model 870 router for home office. I just bought a WRT160NL wireless router for home use. I setup the personal wireless router off the personal port of the 870 and can connect with my PC but not with my MAC machines. It can see the Network but when it asks me for passwords, it says they are wrong, which after several attempts I know they are correct.
The new router is setup as WPA2 personal. Can you advise?

I think I answered my own question. I tried downloading something on my desktop and checked my cellular usage afterwards didn't go up so it's using my home internet and not my data plan.

Using macbook as a wireless router for non-apple devices

im trying to use my mac as wireless router for my xbox. i went into share under system preferences, and made a network with a WEP password. I can see the network on my xbox but it requires an IP adress...
i guess what im really asking is, if the mac can automatically assign IP adresses to devices on the network

I use my MBP regularly to share internet connection with PCs. Usually the PCs do a 'search' for a network and then 'connect' to the network name set in the Airport options... drop down panel. They get the IP automatically.
In the system preferences>share> there is a button on the right bottom which says 'airport options..' and in the drop down panel, you set the name or SSID and the WEP key.
Maybe you should check XBOX settings if the network settings are manual or automatic?
Hope that helps.

Using non Internet wireless router for AirPrint, kills Internet experience via data plan.

Just bought an HP Laserjet Pro 400 with AirPrint. In order to use it I added a wireless router, that is not connect to the Internet, as I am remote. How can I print and go on the Internet without have to turn on and off my wifi? I work remotely so I have no dsl or cable to plug my router into, yet in order to use my AirPrint I must have a router. If I am connected to a wifi, my iPad assumes that is my preferred method to connect to the Internet....

I believe Verizon will only carry wireless N routers at the moment due to the fact that wireless AC is still in draft. Wireless N has been standardized. But, glad to hear you got things working well enough. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try asking for higher speeds to be delivered over the DSL. Most folks coming directly from a central office or from a specific type of remote terminal can get speeds reaching to 7Mbps or 15Mbps.

My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working. Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine. Can anybody help?

My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working. Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine. The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine. Can anybody help?

Just tested something and it worked.
If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
It's probably this crappy headphones.
If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

Good Wireless Router for iMac

I just ordered my first Mac, an 20" iMac G5. Now I need a good wireless router for it. I looked at the Airport Extreme Base Station, but it sure is pricey. Any suggestions on some more reasonably priced wireless routers? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Clayton,
Although a bit pricey, the next router I buy will be the "AirPort Express Base Station with AirTunes". It is a full featured router that is certainly compatable with any other AirPort equiped Mac -- including WPA excryption. That router has the added Apple AirTunes feature that you will not find on any other router.
If you want to go the cheaper route (no pun intended) then I have had good luck setting up friends with several different models of both DLink and Linksys routers including my current DLink DI-624. I have had nothing but success connecting several Apple PowerBooks with old and new versions of AirPort cards to several different makes/models of these routers and can't say I have ever had difficulties.
One thing to watch when using WPA is that you choose exactly the same settings on both the Mac and the router such as "WPA-Personal" using "TKIP". Note that some routers such as Linksys may call the same settings "WPA-PSK" and preselect "AES" instead of "TKIP". As long as all of your protocols match and your network name and preshared key match then everything should work as expected.
Also, when choosing a model don't be fooled into paying for any of the "Xtreme", "Speedbooster", "SRX", "pre-n", or "MIMO" routers. Unless you have special needs the vast majority of home users simply need a basic 802.11g router.
The one last bit of advice I have is to NOT install the software that comes with home wireless routers (except for Apples'). Instead, simply use your web browser to connect to the routers IP address (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and then use the built-in web configuration to make all needed settings including the minimum: 1) changing default password, 2) turn off SSID broadcast, 3) set up wireless network name and WPA encryption, and 4) turn on NAT firewall.
Best of luck,
Tim

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.

I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle. Also, my password will not work when a visitor uses it for a laptop (even a Mac) or any other device that uses the internet. It says the password is incorrect. I easily connected a Kindle last year, but I got a new one & now I can not connect wirelessly. I see no tab to create a guest network. I do not mind giving my password to visitors, but that does not work.

If you temporarily disable wireless encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), can the Kindle connect to the router and gain access to the Internet now? If so, then I would suggest that you reconfigure the AEBSn to use "WPA2 Personal" for the Wireless Security setting, and then, try connecting with the Kindle again.
As far as establishing a Guest Network, the AEBSn must not be in bridge mode. That is, it should be the only router in your current network and directly conncted to the Internet modem. If it is, then you would find the Guest Networking option on the AirPort > Guest Networking tab:

Recommened wireless router for IMAC

Just purchased an IMAC 21.5 computer and need a better wireless router for the IMAC and IPAD AIR. Used for surfing the net, email and wireless printing. What should I look at?

Mac friendly, ease of use, comes w/a user manual, good tech support (online & off) and read all the reviews of the routers you are interested in.

WRT54G....Can I set DHCP to use the router for DNS instead of external DNS?

Hi folks. I cant' get my router to have DHCP tell my PCs that the router should be the DNS server instead of the external servers it is using. I am using Comcast Cable internet. It sets the external DNS servers for every PC that connects to it and I have problems finding my PCs on my network by NetBIOS name because the external DNS servers obviously don't store my local PCs. How can I set the router up to set DHCP to use the router for DNS?

If you cannot set the DNS server in the configuration page for the DHCP server in your router then your router does not support this.
This won't solve your problem though. The DNS server on the router is a simply forwarder. It simply forwards the DNS requests from your computer to the ISP's DNS servers. The DNS server does not accept dynamic updates to a private zone inside your LAN. And DNS is pretty much unrelated to the standard windows workgroup browsing which does the actual name resolution inside your LAN. That name resolution even works without a router inside your network. Basically all windows computers in your network periodically broadcast their name to the network. One windows computers is elected "master browser" which collects all these names and provides the name resolution service for all computers in the workgroup.
If this does not work it is most likely a windows configuration problem. It could be a software firewall on the computers which blocks traffic. It could be that the computers are not setup for file/printer sharing and thus have the computer browser disabled. It could be that your computers have a WINS server configured which does not exist. There are probably more causes. The better source to ask this question would probably a Microsoft support group. They deal with these kinds of issues more often and maybe a MVP may be able to point you into the right direction or give some links to step-by-step instructions...

2 systems using wireless router until I ran Windows local network setup

We have two computers accessing the internet via our wireless router. One is connected via a cable (a desktop PC), the other via a wireless connection. They both ran fine until I ran the setup for a local network--trying to connect the two to share printers, etc. Now only the laptop can access the internet. The desktop cannot. How do I fix this? We have an AMD Athlon 2800+ desktop running XP and an HP AMD Turion laptop running Vista. The wireless router is the model WRT54GX2 ver 2.

Check the Ethernet connection from Desktop to router. Also check Ip on desktop
If it is 192.168.1.X …..Try getting reply from gateway address. If so then try going online.
If you are not getting valid Ip address on Local area connection, then try changing port on router, do power cycle or lower down the Ethernet card speed to 10half Mbps.
