Help! Using iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot to connect to Sony PSP.

Is this at all possible?


I know that PSP, annoyingly, still doesn't support connecting to WPA2 networks, so is there anyway to change iPhone's WPA2 to WPA or WEP?


I mean I have these two awesome devices, yet can't seem to get them to 'talk' to each other!

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.1

Yeah after a lot of researching, I keep coming back to what you're saying - they're both not configurable.


Technology eh?... We'd all get along just nicely if we were pulling in the same direction.


Edit: Mind you saying that, Apple aren't really to blame. It's Sony's infamous stubborness that causes many grief.

The same here.


Trying to connect my psp to internet through iphone 4 personal hotspot but it doesnt work.


When i scan the wifi networks on psp it shows my iphone as a wifi modem but under the security section says "not supported".


This problem derives from the default wlan security specs of the devices;


iphone 4 only uses wpa2

psp only uses wep or wpa


both are not configurable. at the moment it's impossible to connect a psp to personal wifi hotspot of an iphone 4.


maybe in the future firmware updates may render it possible.

Yes, but for what purpose? Your playstation uses way too much data to even think about playing games online.

Don't know who told you that. Mine connects fine to my network. On your playstation, try disabling the media server connection.

fyi mate i do it and the data is nothing really about 35mbs am hour.yes it can be done without a jailbreak of the iphone dont listen to people who tell you thats the only way. ok so this is how i do it its very simple just no one has figured it out yet but me as far as i can find. 1. rename your iphone (ssid) capital A (this is just easyer than doing a whole name of code) 2. turn on hotspot make sure you have tower signal. this is it for the iphone. 3. go to network settings on the ps3 search wireless router as you would normally and select capital A (this is the ssid) 4. on the next screen the ps3 will ask you to confirm the ssid you have chosen but you wont be able to it just comes up with an error saying only ASCII characters alowed. so this is what you have re-enter into the ssid. 5. rename the ssid on the ps3 without brackets ( 65 41 101 &#65no space; ) if i dont put a gap between 65 and the semicolin the code just turns into A proving my point. 6. this should then let you go on to the next screen and input your security and so on. So this code is computer language for capital A all computers talk in this code but you just never see it. but for some reason the iphone will accept this code instead of just the letter A . i only figured this out a few days ago and cant find anyone else with this knowlege so far. so im trying to spread the word. i have a short video on youtube (just search for raptorbeast1)exsplaining it but a demonstration video wont be up until the 24-12-11 i hope this helps you and many others if any1 has any querys post a comment on my youtube
