Answer 1

No all you need is to have wireless internet around you that dosen't have security on it

Answer 2

You just basically need to be in range of a Wireless Access point and have the Password or Key for that network. Your PSP won't connect to the internet on it's own. The wireless feature on your psp only provides the ability to connect to a Wireless Hotspot/Access Point/Router or what you would like to call it. It works the same as a laptop wireless card or adapter. Unlike mobile phones, it doesn't have it's own built in modem so you always have to be within good range of a Wireless point.

It follows the same method computers.

Computer                

             -------> Wireless Access Point --------> Internet

PSP

Here's what to do once you have the things stated above..

When you first switch on the PSP, go to the far left menu where the settings are and find the Network Settings Icon. Make sure the Wlan switch on top of the psp is slid to the right. Go to Infrastructure Mode then go to Create New Connection. Then scan and wait. It should come up with a list of the wireless networks within range of your PSP You select which ever access point you have the password/key to connect to, which you can get from whoever set up the Wireless network, or if you are in a public place, you would have to request it, and possibly pay for them letting you use their Wireless point.

Once you've selected the network keep pressing right until you see the point where it says WPA Key. This is where you put in the password that you were given or that was set up for accessing the Wireless point where you are. Once this is entered press start and you should be good to go. It should store the settings for that connection so you don't have to enter the password again.

If you have internet access at home, all you need is a wifi router for the psp to connect to.

FYI, for those folks who travel a lot and want high speed "3G" internet access while on the road for their laptops or their gadgets like an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch, or a Sony PSP/Mylo/PS3, or Nintendo Wii/DS or Nokia 770/800/810 tablet, an Archos 605 WiFi, or even the Chumby... take a look at this article:

Answer 4

To access the internet you can find a hot spot with wireless Internet and either have the security key or is not encoded. There is a wireless adapter you can purchase to connect to it so you can connect anywhere.
