Why wont my psp3001 connect to my wireless router?

Hey ticktock623

You are correct, the PSP’s wireless card is a very old piece of technology that operates on a different language than your home router does. It is normal that the PSP wireless card is showing “Incompatible” when you attempt to connect it to your network. Your router should have whats called a “Legacy Mode”. This allows older devices such as your PSP for instants to connect to the router as would any other device, it just operates at a slower speed and connection type that the PSP can read.

After you change the configuration to allow the router to use “Legacy Mode” connect the PSP to the network. After this is successful run a software update on the system to make sure there is no outstanding updates for the OS and hardware.

Good Luck!

Why didn't you find out in advance or look at compatibility? is there a chance to go to the store and exchange it for the right router? Many stores provide such services. Or a refund. But first, try changing the channel of your router https://192-168-1-1ip.mobi/. Maybe it's just the wrong channel. You are thinking correctly about the password. You can also try changing it. I think there was a crash, and it just doesn't see the new device. I have a similar problem. But I limited myself to changing the channel.

Hi! I made a guide a few years back that details EXACTLY how to make any PSP compatible with most routers: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSP/comments/m1...

I hope this helps.
