Even the much newer first generation PS4 from 2013/2014 is a 2.4 GHz only wifi device.
It's exceedingly unlikely to find something from the time of the psp in 2003/2004 that has 802.11a 5GHz and isn't a business laptop.
- nicman23 2y agohuh 5ghz existed since 1999
- walrus01 2y agoYeah, but certainly wasn't common until 802.11n 5GHz stuff shipped and became in common consumer use. The target market for a psp would have had 802.11b or .g 2.4 GHz only home routers/APs. Think Linksys wrt54g and similar.
- felixg3 2y agoYes and even plenty of 802.11n devices were 2.4Ghz only.
- throwaway173738 2y agoIt was actually the first band that wifi supported.
- walrus01 2y agoIt was not, 802.11 (no letters) and 802.11b were 2.4GHz. the 802.11a standard came later.
- washadjeffmad 2y agoWe had a fleet of PCMCIA cards for wardriving in the early 2000s, but only one for 802.11a. It was rare to find, but the networks were left weirdly open, presumably because it was rare, limited range, and they didn't care to troubleshoot security on top of connectivity.
