I have an old psp that i dusted off and I tried to connect it to my wifi. When it detection my connection there was in grey something written "not secured" next to my connection and it wouldn't let me connect.

I tried to go check if there was a new firmupdate but I have the latest already (6.60) and that came out about 4 years ago or something.

So now I can't even connect my psp because it doesn't recognize new modems :/

So, what do I do here, I trash my psp or there is a way to update it so I can connect myself somehow ?

The PSP has issues with wifi and newer routers. This guide should help you to get set up.

If that fails, there may be a fault with your PSP.

Yeah I really don't wanna mess with those settings, I'm with Bell for Fibetv and internet and I don't wanna **** things up with this crap. I so regret buying a psp honestly, and not just for this issue.

Anywho, thx for the help Lh.

People in Japan still play on their PSP consoles. But to the rest of the world, the system seems pretty much dead.

@jack00: Time to get a Vita! :D

I'm not sure what router you are using, but it should have some kind of option to create profiles - and at the very least will have an option to backup it's settings to your PC. Most routers do.

Alternatively, if you just want to buy a PSP game or two from the PlayStation Store, and if you have a PS3, you can buy them and download them to your PS3, then connect the PSP via cable to your PS3 and use the Content Manager app to transfer them.

Good luck.

The Vita pretty much made the PSP obsolete.

I still use my PSP for the old classics such as FF1-9 and gems from the past. Online is still available for some games too.
