please ensure that your router is set to WEP, WPA or WPA 2
encryption and enable WEP or WPA/PSK TKIP (Personal), WPA/
PSK AES (Enterprise) encryption on your player accordingly. If you
do not know which encryption is enabled (if any) in your wireless
router/access point, please refer to the configuration instructions
in its manual. Encryption key: If you are running an encrypted
wireless network, all devices on your network must share the
same encryption key so that they can communicate. Please enter
this menu item to obtain the on-screen keyboard where you will
be able to enter the key you are currently using in your wireless
router/access point. If you do not know which encryption key is
used on your wireless router/access point, please refer to the
configuration instructions in its manual.
Refer to paragraph 5b SELECTING THE NETWORK (WIRELESS
NETWORK), of the QUICK SETUP Chapter for more information
about how to select your Wireless Access Point.
Wireless Network Configuration: Use this menu to manually
manage your Wireless Network Settings. See the above section
SEARCH FOR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT for more details.
Linksys Wireless PassPhrase: If you are using WEP and a
PASSPHRASE to connect to your wireless network, you can use
this menu to select your PassPhrase and get connected. Select
the type of key you have set: 64-bit or 128-bit. After you have
selected the key type, go to WIRELESS PASSPHRASE. A keypad
will appear on your screen; simply use it to write your PassPhrase.
Press OK when you are finished. A list of 4 Passphrases will be

connected it to.
Disabling the DHCP option will enable you to manually configure
the network details for your player. This is only recommended
for networks without a DHCP compliant switch/router/access
point or a network without Internet access. In the event that the
player is connected to a router/switch/access point without DHCP
support or directly to a PC, enter this to manually configure the
parameters used on your network. The IP address is the unique
address of your player on the network. Do not use the same
address as your PC or other devices connected to the network.
We recommend that you use 192.168.1.2. If another device on
the network has been configured with the same address, simply
increment the final digit (“2”) to a number that is not used by
other devices. Subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0.
Default gateway should be set to the same address as the device
acting as your gateway to the Internet (usually 192.168.1.1). DNS
should set to the same address as the default gateway unless
your Internet Service Provider has supplied you with a different
address. Alternative DNS should only be filled in if provided by
your Internet Service Provider.
Search For Wireless Access Points: Use this menu option to
select one of the available wireless networks. The wireless networks
on the list may be labelled as either “Unlocked” (available for free)
or “Locked” (networks that are available but require an encryption
key). Select the network of your choice to establish a connection. If
you select a “Locked” network, your player will display a Wireless
Details Screen, prompting you to select your associated WIRELESS
ENCRYPTION and your associated ENCRYPTION KEY.
Wireless Encryption: The Wireless Encryption menu item allows
you to set the type of encryption used on your wireless network.
Encryption is used to keep the data exchange between your player
and the rest of your network scrambled. This prevents other
wireless users in the vicinity from gaining access to personal or
confidential information.
So that the player can communicate with your wireless network,
the encryption must be set to exactly the same in the player as on
the wireless router or access point you will be connecting to. If the
wireless router/access point is operating without encryption, your
player must be set accordingly. However, we recommend that you
always use encryption on your wireless network, so (if possible)
