Wireless Networks
If you are planning to use digital entertainer with a wireless network, check the
location where you plan to install it for sources of interference. For best results,
find a location free of the following common sources of interference:
Large metal surfaces
Microwave ovens
Aquariums or large fish tanks
2.4 GHz Cordless phones
In general, 802.11g wireless equipment can communicate through walls.
However, if the walls are made of concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the
802.11g effective range will decrease if such materials are between the media
player and the wireless router or access point.
Changing the Wireless Network Configuration
For wireless networks you must configure the digital entertainer for the wireless
network, and also configure it to work with your media library. You will need to
know the network settings such as the SSID (network name). If your network uses
wireless security, then you need to know any passwords, passphrases, or keys that
are required for access.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn on the digital entertainer and turn on the television.
Warning: For video streaming, a wired connection between the
computer and the digital entertainer is recommended. A
wireless connection can work well if you want to play music
or view photos.
