Are you getting an IP address from the router? Go to a command prompt and type ipconfig. What is your IP address? Also, what does it say your default gateway is? Can you ping your default gateway (from a command prompt type ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the x's are your default gateway address)? That will tell you if the link between your laptop and LAN side of your router is working. If that works, try pinging 74.125.79.103. It's the IP address of google. Does that work?

It could be a fault with the router. It MAY be fixed by installing the latest firmware for your router. I think it unlikely that it is a problem with both your laptop AND your PSP.
