Configuring your Rovio the first time
Before you use Rovio for the first time, you will need to configure your Rovio.
To install the Rovio Setup software, your computer set-up must have the following:
Windows XP™ or Window Vista™ •
• USB connectivity
Wireless access point (WAP) device (for example, your wireless router) •
A CD/DVD drive •
A Wi-Fi card (for Ad hoc setup) •
NOTE: If you are a Mac user, refer to the subsection Mac users in the section Installing
the Rovio Setup software to learn how to configure Rovio without the Rovio Setup CD.
IMPORTANT : Rovio does not support WPA passwords on wireless access points;
it only supports WEP passwords. For instance, if your wireless router uses a WPA
password, you will need to change it to a WEP password. Refer to your
router’s user manual.
Please go to www.wowweesupport.com to check if a firmware update supporting
WPA has become available.
