Network Settings

Tip Make sure that you have your Wireless Access Point (WAP) settings information at hand. You will need this information in the following screens.

If you’re unfamiliar with network terminology, consult the ‘Glossary’ on page 60.

Attention! Most wireless devices can also operate in peer-to-peer mode. This means that there is a direct wireless communication link between two communicating devices without intervention of a Wireless Access Point. If you have set up devices in peer-to-peer mode, we strongly recommend that you make your wireless home network operate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP) and that you disable all peer-to-peer links.
