Wireless Checklist.
We will provide the settings you need to create your
peer-to-peer wireless network. As you complete the following screens, you
should write these settings down so they are readily available when you
connect additional DVRs to your network.
Select “Continue to next step.”
Wireless Connection. Select “Create a peer-to-peer wireless network.”
Peer-to-Peer Wireless Channel. Wireless networks can broadcast on different
channels. If you have multiple wireless networks in the same area, placing
them on different channels can improve performance by reducing network
congestion.
Select any channel number between 1 to 11. If you are uncertain about
which number to use, try channel 11.
Press SELECT to continue to the next step.
Wireless Network Name. Enter a name for your peer-to-peer wireless
network. Use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight a letter. Press
SELECT to enter it.
Write down your network name and be sure to note which letters are upper
case and which are lowercase. You will need the network name to connect
other DVRs to your network. Select “Done entering text” when you are
finished.
Confirm Settings. Review the settings and select “Accept these settings” if
they are correct. If you have further questions, see “Multi-Room Viewing
Troubleshooting” on page 61.
Change Connection Type. You see this screen after you have configured your
wireless settings. Select “No, continue to connect via the phone.”
