What router have you got, what type of security etc?

I have the exact same router (Connected to PSP slim & lite). I assume someone else set it up(as you can't login). Do you know enough of your settings to reset your router and configure it again? To be honest without that there is not much you can do or check, without having access to the router.

There is a pinhole button on the back. I think you hold it in for 10 seconds. DO not attempt to do this if you don't know your ADSL login details etc.

So I assume you cannot connect to the router webpage yet? Follow the other instructions on that knowledgebase article. It has a couple of additional steps to take if the rest didn't work.

I've never been able to get my PSP to connect either - even if I turn off all wireless security and allow all MAC addresses through, only way it can get online is through the PS3, which has no problem connecting wirelessly whatever security I use so long as I allow the MAC.

Router is a Linksys WAG354G

That was my last router (still have it at home) and I connected my PSP to it.

Can I ask what version of firmware you have? (It normally shows in the top right hand side of the web interface, in small letters).
