Wireless LAN connection

To add a wireless LAN connection to your network topology, you need to purchase and use an Ethernet converter.

Wireless LAN Security

Creating security settings for the Wireless LAN is extremely important. When your Home Server is connected to a wireless LAN without security settings, it can be accessed by unauthorized users. To protect the Home Server against such access, be sure to make appropriate security settings on your wireless LAN devices. Sony assumes no responsibility for any security problems that may arise from the use of the Wireless LAN.

Note

Wireless LAN connection may cause a lower transfer rate depending on the specifications with which your wireless LAN device complies. In such a case, connect your network devices, such as a DLNA device, to the same wired network as your Home Server or connect your Home Server to your wired network without using an Ethernet converter.
