How to Use the Internet on a PSP Anywhere

The world is wired. Wi-Fi networks are now so prevalent that it is easy to find one almost anywhere you go. The PSP connects to the Internet using Wi-Fi, which means that, anywhere there is a Wi-Fi signal that is strong enough, you and your PSP have access to it. With just a simple configuration, you can get your PSP to be an Internet-savvy machine.
