PSP E1004 (Street) Internet Connectivity: Not Possible—Hardware Missing

Definitively: No. The PSP‑E1000 / E1004 (PSP Street) released 2011 as a budget entry model has NO Wi‑Fi Hardware (No 802.11b/g Radio) and NO Ethernet Port. The PCB lacks the Wi‑Fi daughterboard connector and RF shielding.

Can You Add Wi‑Fi via USB / Homebrew?

No. The CPU (MIPS) / Firmware / Kernel has no driver support for USB Wi‑Fi dongles. The hardware bus doesn’t enumerate them.
No CFW / Homebrew can create hardware that doesn’t exist.
Ad‑Hoc (Local Multiplayer): Also **REMOVED**. No Wi‑Fi = No Ad‑Hoc.

What You CAN Do

Play UMD Games Offline. Full library compatible.
Play PS1 Classics / Minis / Homebrew (Installed via PC → Memory Stick → PRO CFW / Infinity on other PSP → Transfer Save/ISO? No. Street runs signed content only easily. CFW on Street is extremely limited/risky (No Pandora Battery support). Not recommended.
Listen to Music / View Photos / Video (MP4/AVC). Copy to MUSIC/, PHOTO/, VIDEO/ on Memory Stick via PC.

Verdict

The PSP Street is an Offline‑Only Media Player / UMD Game Console. If you need Internet (Store, Browser, Multiplayer, RSS, Remote Play), you MUST buy a PSP‑3000 (~$60–100 used) or PSP Go (~$80–150 used).
