A wireless connection uses your own wireless router and a wireless transceiver to send data from your DSL/cable router to the
DIRECTV Plus HD DVR. Please be advised that DIRECTV does not recommend using a wireless device, because it may not
provide the best experience. For the best digital entertainment experience, the better options are Wired and
Powerline. However if you prefer to use Wireless, you must follow the manufacturer's directions on configuring your Wireless
device. These instructions will help you to make the right connections to your DIRECTV Plus HD DVR.
