Hi stagedoorste,
You may notice that sometimes connecting your PSP to your network seems like a hard thing to do. But if you're aware of the basic configuration you can say that it's not a complicated thing. If your experiencing hard time connecting to the internet please make sure to check on the error. Based on what you have mentioned it says that you need to check the security setting. You may try following the steps below for the basic configuration on how to connect your PSP to your router.
1. First step is to make sure to turn on your PSP as well as the wireless/WLAN switch. 2. Then Navigate to " Network Setting". 3. Select "Infrastructure Mode". 4. Now Select "New Connection" and Name this connection as you deem appropriate. 5. Navigate to "WLAN Settings" Select "Scan". 6. Your router should now be listed. 7. Please go to "WLAN Security Setting". If you did not select encryption in ROUTER SET-UP, then leave the option as "None" 8. But if you selected encryption in ROUTER SET-UP, then select the appropriate WEP, or WPA. 9. Then navigate to "Address Settings". Select "Easy" 10. Go to "Setting List". Verify that your settings are correct. 11. Navigate to the next screen and press X to save your settings. You should get a message that says "Save Completed. Test Connection". Press X. 12. You should get two quick display messages. The first should say "connecting to access point." The next should say "obtaining IP address".
From this point you already established a connection and using your PSP you can now browse the net.
Hope this information will be helpful.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet. To use a WLAN connection, you must create an internet access point (IAP) for the WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet.
Use the WLAN wizard to create an access point
1. You can access the WLAN wizard directly from your home screen's information area. Another way to get to the WLAN wizard is to select Menu > Connectivity > WLAN wizard.
2. If the search finds WLANs, you can create an internet access point - scroll to the connection, select Options > Start web browsing. If you select a secured WLAN, you will be asked to enter the relevant password. To connect to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier, SSID).
3. To end the active connection, select the connection > Options and Exit. If you want to define whether you want to use the WLAN or packet data connection when starting to browse the web, you can set it so that the device always asks which access point is to be used.


Set up an access point inquiry when you open the browser
1. Select Options > Settings.
2. Select General > Access point, and from Always ask - You always get to select which access point you use.

First check if its a drivers issue.. Unistall the drivers and reinstall the latest drivers from the support website of tashiba... Then try to take the WLAN and reinsert it.. Try to get all the wireless networks again and try to connect.. If the issue is not fixed you may have to replace the WLAN card....

Go to:

Tools
Control Panel
Connections
WLAN

..this shall help you search for available wireless networks with their respective SSIDs (Service Set IDentifiers).

There are 2 kinds of wireless networks: Hotspots and configured networks. When connecting to the Internet using a Hotspot, no further configuration is needed. When you connect using a configured network, a WLAN account is required in your phone. For configured networks, you may or may not use the New Account Wizard in your phone.

Setting up Internet Account using New Account Wizard:
1. Go to:
Tools
Control Panel
Internet Accounts
2. Click "More" on the lower right part of your screen.
3. Select "New Account", then "WLAN".
4. Enter the details required in accordance with your preferred wireless network.


Setting up Internet Account without using the Wizard:
1. Connect to the WLAN first.
2. Prompt for encryption keys of the network you are attempting to connect to (passwords).


..Hope this helps. =)

ur WLAN is not getting IP address. Are u using DHCP server? Give static IP address in WLAN properties on your notebook & try.

Did you input the WEP key? I will assume you are using Windows XP. So go to control panel, network connections and then go to the wireless connection and then select view wireless connections double click on the one with the highest strength, which should be your 2wire. When it asks for the network security key type in the numbers that are located on the sticker on the bottom of your router between the [########] brackets.

Is your radio power on? Go to Settings>System> Radio power and check the box for 802.11 radio power. The WLAN icon will now be visible from the main screen.
