How Do I Hook Up Entré to a Broadband Internet Connection via Ethernet?, continued
You can make a broadband connection from Entré to the Internet via its USB
(Universal Serial Bus) connector and a USB/Ethernet adapter (as shown on page
page 20). If you do so, all of Entré's features will work normally.
However, if you add an Axcess Remote Portal to your system, you will not be
able to listen to Internet Radio on Axcess, although all other Axcess features will
work normally. If you have or plan to add Axcess Remote Portals to you home
entertainment network, Kenwood recommends using a HomePNA connection
instead. See “How Do I Hook Up Entré to a Broadband Internet Connection via
HPNA?” on page 18 for more information.
If you do not plan to connect Axcess Remote Portals, or if you do, but don’t care
if they receive Internet radio, an Ethernet connection may work for you.

information on setting it up and configuring it.
How Do I Hook Up Entré to my Wireless Network?
Connecting the Entré to a network is a great option, however, running a
network cable (CAT 5) from the DSL/Cable router to your home theater room
may be difficult. Entré supports connection to a wireless network through the
USB port, just like a cabled Ethernet connection.
In this case, follow the directions for regular Ethernet connection, but connect
the USB adapter to a Wireless Access Point device with a Cat5 network cable.
Connect a second Wireless Access Point to your Ethernet router (unless one is
already connected).
