Title: Using PSP Headphone sio for wifi?
Post by: kizashi777 on February 16, 2009, 02:40:48 AM

I'm just wondering if it would be possible (possible in terms IF someone could do it, not WILL) to use a SDIO wifi card to get 802.11g signals via headphone jack sio and/or psp memory stick slot:

I mean, the xbox 360 chatpad was hacked for qwerty usage. If you had some old Palm phone or something, maybe it would be possible?

Probably wouldn't be the easiest of mods, when other ways to get higher signal have been done,

What has been done for WiFi is open up the PSP, take out the original antenna and replace it with a different one on the outside for better connectivity, as in this picture where somebody used a NetGear USB 802N:

Yeah, I've heard about the antenna, but to me, it's pretty much useless.

Why? Cuz nobody in my area has a wifi router with 802.11b, it's always g. It's the same for my high school too; g only, no b. ='[

Get a slim.

I ain't sure about phats, but slims can connect to a wireless-g network, even though it says only b.

Well personally I've never came across an access point that I couldent connect to. All the ones I've tried work fine.

Routers that are G are almost all the time A and B, and same with adapters, its just speed, so it will connect to it, my router is wireless N and my psp works with it

You said almost. Well, I live in an area where there's zero B routers (sorry, not trying to sound rude or anything). Whenever there is a wifi spot that has no encryption, it's usually G, sometimes N.

I'm not sure about slims, but my psp phat can't connect to any routers unless it's B compatible.
