How to connect your UPnP device to the media server

After you set up your router’s media server, you need to connect an UPnP-

compatible device (such as an UPnP-compatible game console or digital media

player) to the network so that you can play the media server’s content .

To connect an UPnP device to your router’s media server:
1.

Connect your UPnP device to your home network with wired (Ethernet

cable) or wireless networking . If you are connecting wirelessly, you

need to know your network’s name and password . See your device’s

documentation for help .

On your UPnP device, change the media source to the media server

name you specified on your router . (See “How to set up your router as a

media server” on page 54)

See your UPnP device’s documentation for help with playing media on

the device .
