Wireless Network Connection
Another connection option is to use an Access
Point or a wireless router. In the example
configuration for wireless connection below, this
unit would be able to access content from either of
the PCs.
The network configuration and connection method
may vary depending on the equipment in use and
the network environment.
This player is equipped with an IEEE 802.11n
(2.4 GHz band only) wireless module, which also
supports the 802.11b/g standards. For the best
wireless performance, we recommend using a IEEE
802.11n certified Wi-Fi network (access point or
wireless router).

Refer to the setup instructions supplied with
your access point or wireless router for detailed
connection steps and network settings.
For best performance, a direct wired
connection from this player to your home
network’s router or cable/DSL modem is
always the best option. If the player is far
away from your router or cable/DSL modem,
Ethernet or LAN cables are available at many
stores in lengths of 50 feet and longer. If you
do chose to use the wireless option, note that
performance can sometimes be affected by
other electronic devices in the home.
