Troubleshooting

What are channels?

❑

Wireless LAN communication occurs on divided frequency bands known as channels. Third-party wireless LAN access
point channels may be preset to different channels from Sony devices.

❑

If you are using a wireless LAN access point, see connectivity information contained in your access point instructions.

When I change the encryption key, the network connection stops. What should I do?

Two computers with built-in wireless LAN may loose a peer-to-peer network connection if the encryption key is changed. You
can either change the encryption key back to the original profile or re-enter the key on both computers so the key matches.
