Wireless Networks

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.

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.
