I got my replacement PSP yesterday and today I'm trying to get it set up and have everything working. I had this problem with my previous PSP, but this only started happening when we upgraded the router we had. When I try to set up a new connection and do the scan option, it doesn't show up in the scan, and so I try to enter it manually and then when I try to connect it says "the connection to the access point timed out." I don't know what the problem is, I've had this problem for a while and haven't been able to figure out a solution. It's not a huge deal, because I'll probably never use it, but I just want to have everything in working order so if you know of a sure fix help is appreciated.
yes. netgear? I don't remember what type it is exactly, I knew at one point but it's been a long time so I've forgotten. is that what you mean?
no idea. I saw that mentioned in one of my Google searches on the matter, but I don't know what it means or how to find out and change it if necessary. Yeah, I'm close enough. That's not the problem.
You should be able to find a manual online for how to set up your router. You'll need to know the model number if you're going to find an accurate guide. The model number should be right on the back of the box. You may need to establish a direct link to your wireless router from your computer (if you happen to be running it off another box) or use the software (if) provided when you purchased the netgear router. To access the wireless router through a manual connection you'll need to find out what your gateway IP address is. Really, you only need the first two numbers (if this is a home connection) to establish the correct address to access your netgear router. For instance, let's say your IP address was 123.211.x.x then you would either enter 123.211.1.1 or 123.211.255.255 Mine used to be 1.1 but they changed it on me. Anyway, to find out your IP address you can just open up the command prompt window. To do this you can either locate it in your start menu or run "cmd" without quotes and hit enter/return. After doing this type in (in the command prompt) "ipconfig /all" without quotes and a space between g and /. Find your IPv4 address (or you could use your gateway/default) and follow my directions prior. You can find the default password and username (if needed) on the manufacturers website. Once you're inside the router, you can find out whether you are transmitting an 802.11 a, b, g, or n frequency. If you have a software on CD from the box or retailer you got the router from, you can just install and follow the on screen instructions for setup and easy access. Hope this helped ^^ EDIT: The manual instructions are for Windows computers. I have no experience with a Mac.
