Using remote play (via an access point)
Connect the PS3™ system to an access point using an Ethernet cable and use the PSP™ system's wireless LAN feature to connect to the PS3™ system through the access point.
Example of a common configuration
Hints
- A wireless router is a device that adds access point functionality to a router. An access point is a device that allows you to connect to a network wirelessly. A router is a device used when sharing one Internet connection among multiple devices.
- A modem may be equipped with router functionality. Connect the PS3™ system to a device that is equipped with router functionality.
- If the access point and modem both are equipped with router functionality, turn the router functionality off on one of these devices. The PS3™ system and PSP™ system must be connected within the same network. If two or more routers are used at the same time, the PS3™ system and PSP™ system may be connected to separate networks and you may not be able to use remote play.
Preparing for use (PS3™ system and PSP™ system)
To use remote play for the first time, you must register (pair) the PSP™ system with the PS3™ system. Register the system under 
(Settings) > 
(Remote Play Settings) > [Register Device].
Preparing for use (PSP™ system)
Create a network connection for connecting the PSP™ system to an access point. If the PSP™ system already has a saved network connection for use in connecting to a network via an access point, you do not have to create a new network connection. For details on creating a network connection, refer to the user's guide for the PSP™ system.
