Cannot connect to the internet on my PSP

I just spent the last 3 hours searching the internet and trying everything I could to get online through my router(The same router I connect my nintento ds, xbox 360, computer, and 2 laptops to, so it's not the router) At first it was giving me the classic "Your IP address has timed out" message, so I spent about an hour searching through old internet threads and I finally figured out how to type in all my setting manually. After that, it didn't even run the ip test and went straight to the internet browser. When I actually try to go on a website, it says, "connection failed" or something like that. When I test my connection, it simply says "Internet connection: Failed" with no other information. When I try to play an online game, the same thing happens. I'm assuming I typed something in wrong but I'm not sure. Why is this so difficult? What am I doing wrong? My guess is that "default router" (or default gateway as it's called in the command prompt) was typed in wrong, or primary and secondary DNS was typed in wrong. Can you specify exactly what each of these is in the command prompt if this is in fact my problem? Thanks in advance.

You could be experiecing this issue because the router is "overloaded", so to speak. Try resetting the router (unplug, wait 30 seconds, re-plug, then connect) if you haven't done so already.

Secondly, perhaps there is some kind of security on the router, asides from encryption, maybe MAC filtering?

Setting your ip address settings manually, will only resolve the problem if the router is "overloaded."

Otherwise the easiest way to setup up manual IP address information is to do the following:

Press: (windows key) + (R Key) at the same time

Type: cmd

Press: (enter key)

type: ipconfig

Press: (enter key)

If your computer is connected to your router via a wire look at the information under the "Local area connection..." heading otherwise look under the "Wireless Lan..." heading. The information you see under that heading can be basically copied over to the psp except for the IP address. Add 10 to the last group in that number, you can add a different number, just make sure the resulting IP address is different.

As for your primary DNS, you can usually get away with using the default gateway / default router address. If that doesn't work try this address:

You should not need a secondary DNS.

That should be it.

Turns out I just needed to type in the WEP key at the bottom of my router. Thanks anyway though.Jrv3000

lol.

That's interesting though, since you should receive a different error message if the WEP key is incorrect. Someone else repeorted that the psp gives an incorrect error message when the WEP key is wrong, and I didn't believe him. Now if you had used WPA instead, you would have received an error message telling you the key was wrong.
