(Adhoc is direct between psp and psp). Then goto Infrastructure communication uses an access point for the internet (wifi) . select new connection then if you don't know a wifi connection press scan and if one is available it will find it. Some are secured and you can't use unless you know the key. Some are not secure so go to ones that are not secured and follow on screen instructions. Remember: First you have to be in a hotspot. If the hot spot has security you must have the ip and password for that spot. If you find an unprotected hotspot you can use that bandwidth to update your psp or surf the net.
