PLZ HELP!!! Wireless connection issues.

I just bought a PSP 3000 at the store and came home to connect it to the wireless and it won't work. I am typing all the info. in correctly and everything but it keeps saying connection "timed out"!? I mean WTF!? Every other wireless device in my house connects just fine and with no problems, but I bring this home and I'm having the hardest time. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what can I do? I have contacted Sny and my internet provider and both can't do a thing about it.

Now now lets all calm down here . I just bought a PSP 3000 last night also ( had to change it today cause it had a dead pixel ) .. alright so, ill help you out . Do you have a router?

yes i do have a wireless g router. And in response to the above poster I am not that stupid dude. i know how to work my router. and to you, that sucks that you had to return it the first day.

it's an at&t router manufacturer is 2 wire. like i said though my ps3, 360, and computer have no problems connecting to it.

do you mean just connect it using the usb cable. cuz i tried that earlier and it didn't do anything. i don't know what wireless hotspot is?

I have all the info keyed in and i am standing right next to the dang router and hit test connection, and I am getting a message about 30 sec later that says, "a connection error has occurred. the connection to the access point timed out." I mean wtf does that mean? I have everything typed in correctly.

Yes the WLAN button is all the way to the right. I reconnected the PS3 and it worked like a charm. I can't figure it out for the life of me. I tried to take the psp back to gamestop earlier and told them that I was having wireless issues and needed to swap it out with another one. But they were able to connect to the starbucks network next door and told me it wasn't the psp and sent me right back out the door. I have tried typing in everything down to the DNS addresses and I'm still getting nothin.

Yea I have tried that a million times and I am getting the same message. I have a WEP key and have typed it in through the pain in the a$$ key system they have on this thing. I have even tried taking off the WEP protection in the router settings and it said i needed to check the security settings. I also tried the keycode thing you sent me a mail about. Where would I type the keycode in as: it wouldn't be a WEP b/c it has letters in it, so would it be a WPA of some sort. Since my router is set for WEP pass protect then anything else wouldn't register.

I really appreciate your help too! Man I love these forums b/c of people like you.

this may be a whole separate issue but i am trying to connect to remote play between my ps3 and psp. there is a whole different security setting for that. instead of connecting to the wireless router it suggests that you go through the ps3. the is SSID is now called PS3-1622060 and WPA protected with some 20 some odd digit code that I can't figure out how to access. the digits are displayed as ************************** and I can't see the figures. This might be a different issue or they could be correlated, so if you don't think they are related then completely ignore this post.

yea i've already looked through that stuff. you're right though different issue.

Sorry I wasnt able to help you out more. I hope you find out the problem soon. Last thing I found were these, hope they help :

Thank you so much LilVeal I appreciate your help! I'll try these and let you know.

Hey, I have the OG PSP but had the same issue. I also have a 2Wire and couldn't connect everything at the same time (PSP/DS/Wii/360) but now it's all good. There was something wrong with the router... never really found out what it was, but bought another 2wire from ebay or something and now it works like a charm.... you may wanna change your settings from Shared/Open and vice versa... if it's shared, try open. If the other stuff works, congrats! Just wanted to let you know that you ain't crazy cuz that happened to me too!

Wow that's good to know! I have tried changing it from WEP - open to WEP - shared and it didn't do anything. So you say I have a defective router thats keeping me from having multiple wireless devices connected?

well, not sure, but that's what happened with me.... of course AT&T said that nothing was wrong, and i guess thattechnically nothing was really wrong because I was able to get online and connect thru wi-fi, BUT not all things could at the sametime. they weren't much help... i think i paid maybe $25 for another router and it works like a charm =)
