LAN vs. WiFi
If you have the choice between a wired LAN or wireless WLAN connection, we generally
recommend that you use a wired LAN connection, which usually provides higher bandwidth
and is also less susceptible to interference and less dependent on the data traffic of your entire
network.
NOTE:
All AVM devices with integrated AVM X-STREAM Engine® generally prefer a wired
network connection and will automatically access it once a LAN/network cable is installed on
the device (25). To still ensure smooth continuous operation via WLAN/WiFi, please remove
any LAN/network cables from the LAN/network connection (31). Otherwise, the device will re-
establish a wired network connection via LAN even during operation.
Please make sure to carefully follow all steps below to successfully set up a wired LAN
connection or a wireless WiFi connection.
1.10.1
Setting up a wired LAN connection
All AVM devices with integrated AVM X-STREAM Engine® are hot-pluggable
. This means
that setting up a wired network connection does not require the AVM device to be restarted or
turned off and on again. Instead, a network cable (LAN cable) can be connected while the
device is running and a network connection is established immediately.
ü
Plug a LAN cable from your local router or network switch into the LAN port of the device
(31).
ü
The device automatically connects to your home network via the connected LAN cable
and is ready for use.
ü
Make sure your smartphone or tablet is connected to your local network and start the
RC X App
. After a short startup process, the
RC X App
automatically searches for
available AVM devices in your local network and lists them with their device names and IP
addresses. You can recognize an IP address by a sequence of numbers separated by
several dots. Often an IP address starts with "192.168.xxx.x".
ü
Select an available device from the list by tapping it and wait a short moment until a
connection between your smartphone or tablet and the device is established.
