8.9 Network:

Your home network may use a router that allows computers to be networked and to share files. WAP-4500 can playback Internet Radio through network connection. WAP-4500 can also playback audio files from any of the computers in the network, as long as they provide acces by a Media server software as provided on the installation CD.

Attention: WAP-4500 cannot find and playback your audio files, stored on a networked PC without the audioserver installed. Before playback from network computers, ensure properly installed media server software!

The default settings for the WAP-4500 and the instructions below are designed to make accessing a wireless network easier. If you need to change the settings on your router to access it, be sure the settings you choose are secure. Refer to the router user documentation for more information.
