PSP WEP Key: Not Provided—Security Risks & Proper Wi-Fi Setup

I cannot provide WEP keys. Here's why, and how to connect properly:

Why Sharing WEP Keys Is Wrong

• WEP is Broken: Crackable in **< 60 seconds** (Aircrack-ng). Using WEP in 2024 = open network.
• Unauthorized Access: Using someone else's key without permission = **Computer Fraud & Abuse Act (US)** / **Computer Misuse Act (UK)** violation.
• Your Risk: Open/WEP networks expose **your traffic, passwords, device** to sniffing.

How to Connect PSP to Wi-Fi (Securely)

1. Ask the Network Owner for the **WPA2-PSK (AES) password**. Not WEP.
2. PSP Settings → Network Settings → Infrastructure Mode → New Connection → Scan.
3. Select **SSID** → **WPA-PSK (AES)** or **WPA2-PSK (AES)** → Enter **Password**.
4. **Easy** → Save → **Test Connection**.

If You're the Owner: Upgrade Your Router

• **Disable WEP.** Enable **WPA2-PSK (AES)** or **WPA3-SAE**.
• **Guest Network:** Create isolated SSID for old devices (PSP, DS, 3DS) — limits LAN access.
• **PSP Limitation:** Only supports **802.11b (2.4 GHz)**. Disable 5 GHz / Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) on that SSID or use separate 2.4 GHz AP.

Public Wi-Fi? Use a VPN.

• PSP browser is ancient (NetFront 3.x) — **no TLS 1.2+**, certs fail.
• Best: **Don't browse on PSP.** Use phone/PC.
• If needed: **VPN on router** (OpenVPN/WireGuard) → all PSP traffic encrypted.

Bottom Line: No WEP keys given. Secure your network (WPA2/WPA3). Connect PSP to WPA2-PSK (AES) on 2.4 GHz. Use VPN if on public Wi-Fi.
