Do you have a computer also connected to the router? If so, does it have an internet connection? If so, is your computer connected wired or wireless?

If not, can you get access to a computer that you can connect to the router?

No, the reason for the question was just to be sure you actually did have the router working and connected to the internet.

Using your computer, go to the admin screen for your router and make sure you have the latest firmware. If you need to upgrade the firmware in the router, make sure you get, read, and follow the instructions carefully.

To go to the admin screen, I would not start AOL. Just start Internet Explorer and go to http://192.168.2.1.

Your firmware is up to date.

I did some googling on your problem. Apparently, connection problems with PSP is not uncommon. Some have had success by assigning a fixed IP to the PSP. Others have found turning off security is required. Others fiddled with various options in the router and got it to work. It seems there is no consistency with how the issues were resolved, or what brand router was involved.

I'm not familiar with your particular model of router, since it is apparently for the European market.

Check this thread in another forum for people with similar problems and how they resolved them. Unfortunately, there appears to be no consistent issue or solution.

Check your router's manual.

if i assign a fixed ip to my router, is the there any chance my router might mess up. if it does can it be resolved by restoring the backup seyttings that i have saved.

thanks

The router itself already has a fixed IP, probably 192.168.2.1 for a Belkin. The suggestion was to assign a fixed IP to your PSP. I haven't used your model of router, and I am not a gamer, so I haven't used a PSP, so you need to read the manuals. Or google it.

The router can always be put back to factory defaults. Some models allow you to backup their settings, and if yours does, then it can be restored to those settings.

I don't know about the PSP.

i have assigned my psp a fixed ip and it still doesnt work.

and i have checked all the other forums, but nothing has seems to be there about it.

and i have tried googling the problem, and nothing seems to come up once again.

i have even tried going on to the psp website and it is still useless.

do you have any other alternative searches.

thanks.

As I said, I don't own a PSP. I posted a link to a discussion forum, above, with people seemingly having similar problems. That's the best I can do.

Also, AOL has historically not allowed users to access the internet through their connection unless using the AOL software or having AOL connect first. Try starting your computer in Safe Mode w/ Networking and see if you can get onto the internet. If not, the PSP may not work with an AOL connection.
