Troubleshooting of wireless
LAN
Network cannot be accessed via wireless
LAN.
Wireless LAN converter’s power is not on.
(Wireless LAN converter’s “Power”, “WPS”
and “Wireless” indicators are not all lit.)
! Check that the USB cable connect-
ing the wireless LAN converter to the
receiver’s DC OUTPUT for WIRELESS
LAN terminal is properly connected.
WLAN POW ERR is displayed on the receiv-
er’s display window.
! There is a problem with the wireless
LAN converter’s power supply. Turn the
receiver’s power off, then disconnect
the USB cable, reconnect the USB cable
and turn the receiver’s power back on.
! If WLAN POW ERR is still displayed
after repeating the above procedure
several times, there is a problem with
the receiver or the USB cable. Unplug
the receiver from the wall and call a
Pioneer authorized independent service
company.
The LAN cable is not firmly connected.
! Firmly connect the LAN cable (page 23).
Wireless LAN converter and base unit (wire-
less LAN router, etc.) are too far apart or
there is an obstacle between them.
! Improve the wireless LAN environment
by moving the wireless LAN converter
and base unit closer together, etc.
There is a microwave oven or other device
generating electromagnetic waves near the
wireless LAN environment.
! Use the system in a place away from
microwave ovens or others device gener-
ating electromagnetic waves.
! Avoid using devices generating electro-
magnetic waves as much as possible
when using the system with the wireless
LAN.
Multiple wireless LAN converters are con-
nected to the wireless LAN router.
! When connecting multiple wireless LAN
converters, their IP addresses must be
changed. For example, if the wireless
LAN router’s IP address is “192.168.1.1”,
set the first wireless LAN converter’s IP
address to “192.168.1.249”, the second
wireless LAN converter’s IP address to
“192.168.1.248”, using values between 2
and 249 (such as “249” and “248”) that
are not assigned to other wireless LAN
converters or to other devices.
Wireless LAN connections cannot be estab-
lished between the wireless LAN converter
and base unit (wireless LAN router, etc.).
! The wireless LAN converter must be set
in order to establish wireless LAN con-
nections. See Wireless LAN Converter on
page 69 .
The wireless LAN converter is properly
connected to the receiver and the wireless
LAN converter’s indicators are lit, but the
wireless LAN converter cannot be set from
the receiver (the settings screen cannot be
displayed).
! If DHCP in the receiver’s IP settings is
set to OFF and the IP address has been
set manually, the IP address set in the
wireless LAN converter may not match.
In the receiver’s IP settings, set DHCP
to ON. After the setting is completed,
turn the receiver’s power off. Next, turn
the receiver’s power back on and check
whether the wireless LAN converter’s
settings can be displayed with the
receiver.

13 Additional information
If the settings can be displayed,
change the IP address settings of the
receiver and wireless LAN converter as
necessary.
The IP address settings of the receiver and
wireless LAN converter do not match the
settings of the wireless LAN router, etc.
! Check the IP address settings of the
receiver and wireless LAN converter
(including the DHCP setting).
If the receiver’s DHCP setting is “ON”,
turn the receiver’s power off, then turn
the power back on.
Check that the IP addresses of the
receiver and wireless LAN converter
match the settings of the wireless LAN
router, etc.
If the receiver’s DHCP setting is “OFF”,
set an IP address matching the network
of the base unit (wireless LAN router,
etc.).
For example, if the wireless LAN router’s
IP address is “192.168.1.1”, set the
receiver’s IP address to “192.168.1.XXX”
(*1), the subnet mask to “255.255.255.0”,
the gateway and DNS to “192.168.1.1”.
Next, set the wireless LAN converter’s IP
address to “192.168.1.249” (*2).
(*1) Set the “XXX” in “192.168.1.XXX” to
a number between 2 and 248 that is not
assigned to other devices.
(*2) Set the “249” in “192.168.1.249” to
a number between 2 and 249 that is not
assigned to other devices.
Try making the wireless LAN converter’s
advanced settings.
! The wireless LAN converter can be
connected to a computer to make the
advanced wireless LAN settings. For
details, see the CD-ROM included for
the wireless LAN converter. Check the
settings of the wireless LAN router, etc.,
then change the settings of the wireless
LAN converter.
Note, however, that making the
advanced wireless LAN settings will not
necessarily improve the wireless LAN
environment. Be careful when changing
the settings.
The access point is set to conceal the SSID.
! In this case, the SSID may not be dis-
played on the access point list screen.
If not, set the SSID, etc., by making the
wireless LAN converter settings on the
receiver manually.
The access point’s security settings use
WEP 152-bit length code key or shared key
authentication.
! The receiver does not support WEP
152-bit length code key or shared key
authentication.
Network connections cannot be established
even when the above measures are taken.
! Reset the wireless LAN converter. After
this, redo the wireless LAN converter’s
settings.
About resetting
1. Check that the wireless LAN convert-
er’s power is on.
2. Press the wireless LAN converter’s
reset button for at least 3 seconds.
3. Release the reset button.
When the wireless LAN converter is
restarted, the resetting procedure is
completed.
