Short answer: yes — the PSP can browse the web, but it needs the system software update that added an integrated browser and Wi‑Fi browsing support. Sony shipped the Internet Browser as part of firmware 2.00 (the browser is a version of ACCESS’s NetFront), and firmware updates later added things like Flash Lite support and stronger Wi‑Fi options. (sony.mediaroom.com)

How to get online (quick workflow): open Settings > Network Settings on the PSP’s XMB, choose Infrastructure Mode → New Connection, then Scan (or Enter Manually) to pick your access point, enter the SSID and the correct security key, save and run Test Connection. If the browser isn’t visible update the PSP system software (Network Update or download / transfer the update to the Memory Stick). Those menu paths and test tools are documented in the PSP manual. (manualzilla.com)

Troubleshooting the “internal error” (’s report): that message can mean different things — a server-side HTTP 500, a failed association/authentication with your AP, or a hardware Wi‑Fi fault. Quick checks: make sure the PSP’s WLAN switch is ON, use Test Connection, try a different hotspot (phone tether or a guest SSID), set the router to mixed 802.11 b/g and use a compatible encryption mode (WEP or WPA‑TKIP depending on PSP firmware), and try manual DNS if DHCP fails. If the PSP reports hardware fault codes or the Wi‑Fi LED stays off it may be a failing module. Server 500 errors are unrelated to the PSP itself. (manualzilla.com)

Notes and cautions: the PSP’s NetFront browser is basic (very limited JavaScript and only early Flash support added in v2.70), so many modern sites won’t render correctly. Modern routers often default to WPA2/WPA3 or 5 GHz — create a 2.4 GHz guest SSID with compatible encryption or use a phone hotspot for testing. Enthusiast homebrew can add WPA2 support, but that involves custom firmware and warranty/security tradeoffs. (gamespot.com)
