Connection Guide – Network
The ClearStream provides the ability to connect to your home network via either a
wired network connection (RJ-45 Ethernet connector) or a wireless network
connection (802.11b or g).
For best network bandwidth, use the Ethernet connector on a 100Mbit network.
Connect one end of the supplied
RJ-45 Network Cable to the ETHERNET
connection on the media player,
and the other end to your network.
WIRELESS
If using a wireless network connection, the best network bandwidth is achieved over
an 802.11g wireless network.
Locate your supplied wireless antenna, and screw it into the antenna connector on
the back of the ClearStream making sure it is secure.
Then carefully turn the antenna so that it can be in an upright position.
54Mbit/s is the theoretical maximum of the 802.11G wireless networking standard. Real life
speeds vary depending on the environment and are typically around 20Mbit/s.
Some high definition media files may require greater bandwidth, and should be played via
wired networking.
If wireless networking reception is poor, you may need to reposition your wireless base
station to achieve optimum media playback performance.
