Default PSP Wi-fi

Whats the cheapest solution for me to take advantage of my psp Wifi capability? I was hoping I could just get an access point but they dont seem cheap and I dont want to disturb my existing wired home network. I have cable broadband internet connected to a wired 4 port router with two home computers connected. I dont want to have to redo all my computers to a new wireless router just so I can have internet on my psp.

I just got a PSP for Fathers Day myself and tried to look for other ways as well. Only other thing I could think of is maybe USB Wifi access point hooked up to a computer?

Update, did a quick search and found this on google http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16879210005

Try a USB wi-fi adapter. Here's a bunch: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=&srchInDesc=

Assuming you are using XP or Vista, it should be easy to hook this up. Just make sure you bridge your network connections on that computer.

I learned the hard way that the PSP uses 802.11b not g. Also, my PSP had about a 5 foot range from my wireless router, until I did the external antenna mod. Now I can't lose the signal.

Thanks for the response. I also got the psp for fathers day. I got the slim Daxter edition and its awesome but I really want to lay in bed and get on the internet while Im at it. If that usb access point works then I will be all over it. Maybe someone who has actually done it can chime in.

5 foot that really sucks. I really dont want to take my psp apart. You didnt mention if you had the slim or not. I wonder if the slim is any better.

I found something called WiFi Max For PSP. I might give that a try since its specifically made for a psp. Thanks for the advice.

My firmware is updated already. I mainly want it because Im getting a pandora battery and it will make it much easier to do my homebrew project. I will be useing a custom firmware anyhow.

My house has wireless internet and I so far found pages like OCN, Craigslist, google mail, and some other forums I visit are loading very well. Pictures load no problem I think. Now websites like gamespot, newgrounds and a few others dont even bother with them.

Those wifi usb sticks, do they require you to set them up on the computer or is it a plug and play type of deal? If I plug it into a work computer will the wifi usb stick send out a signal automatically?
