So last night I was having lots of trouble connecting my PSP to the internet to update the lastest Network. It kept giving me the error "Access point timed out". So I'm like wth and go to check my router settings. I have a Wireless-G Linksys WRTG54 and its connected to my PC, my aunt's laptop, my Xbox 360 Elite, and my Wii (wirelessly). I was middling with the router settings not realizing wth I was doing. It still wasn't working and it was late in the night.
This morning I was determined to get my PSP ONLINE. I wrote down all the router settings, PSP network Settings and my PC network settings. and I used this website that gives an in-depth tutorial for connecting the PSP to the internet. I had to google some terms, but it wasn't difficult.
Come to find out, my Wireless Security mode was changed to G-only because I didn't know what G-only really was. It was Wireless G only devices not allowing 802.11g devices to plug in. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So i changed it to MIXED, made sure the WEP was actived, added that key into PSP, set everything else to automatic. Also I had to change the channel of the network to the channel on the router. Where the heck was this - in the Ad Hoc mode, change channel to 1, 6 or 11. I orginially had the router on default to channel 6, then changed it to 11, now back to 6...
Set all settings and kaboom, the internet was on in a matter of a minute. I can see why old people have the problem of "what the heck is the internet?" type thing. (I got an A on a paper where I related internet use to social decline of a person, haha. not even related to this topic but oh well)
After all that , i worked up a hunger and started downloading stuff onto the PSP. Even signed up for Skype even though I have no headset. I first downloaded this PSP Messenger 1.0 so I could chat with friends from the PSP. Then I got some new themes since I never added any themes before. Added themes like Bleach and Naruto. Love em!
Last, I signed up for the PSN. My PSN is of course SpawnHellraiser. Told ya! Now I just need the PS3 and get my DS to go online and I'm good. :twisted:
and how was your day, Spawnie? 8):twisted:
