Network Settings

Network Settings are different depending on the type of home network your TiVo DVR is connected to: Wired (Ethernet) or Wireless.

For more information about connecting your DVR to a home network and using Home Media Features, download the Home Media Features Guide at www.tivo.com/guides.

Wired (Ethernet) Network Settings

Wired (Ethernet) settings are usually automatic. If you connect an Ethernet cable to the DVR’s Ethernet jack, the DVR will inform you if you need to specify any network settings.

Wireless Network Settings

Firmware Update. If the wireless adapter you connected requires a firmware update, the DVR informs you. Press SELECT to begin the firmware update.

Wireless Network Name. Wireless networks have a network name (sometimes called an SSID for Service Set Identifier).

This screen lists the names of nearby wireless networks that your DVR has been able to identify. If you have a wireless router (or wireless access point) and you did not set a network name, your network is probably using a name supplied by the router’s manufacturer.

If your network’s name is listed, select it. (You may be able to see more network names by pressing CHAN DOWN to scroll down the screen.)

Otherwise, select Enter Network Name, then select Done Entering Text when you are finished.

Settings 5

You must use capital and lowercase

®letters appropriately when entering a network name. To find a network named “My Network” you must capitalize the “M” and “N”; entering “my network” won’t work. Use THUMBS UP® and THUMBS DOWN® to change to uppercase or lowercase.
