PSP Internet Setup Step 1
PSP can detect any wireless network within its ranges as long as the WiFi adapter is on. The switch is on the left side of the PSP, near the analogue thumbstick. Push the switch up to turn it on. Keep it off if you're not using wireless connection to save the PSP battery life.

When the PSP wireless adapter is on, it will look for wireless networks. If there is another PSP within range, an ad-hoc network will automatically be set up between the two. You can now play multiplayer games between the two PSP units - one will be hosting the game while the other will connect. But when you want to join an existing wireless network to browse the internet, then you need to use the infrastructure wireless networking mode of the PSP
