compatible with Wi-Fi 802.11b/g certified

routers.

• If your Wi-Fi router is Wi-Fi 802.11n

certified, make sure to enable the

802.11b/g mode. DS3881W does not

support connection to routers with

802.11n only.

• This device does not support the WPS-

PIN method.

• If your Wi-Fi router supports WPS and

the WPS-PBC method but fails to connect

to DS3881W, try the manual Wi-Fi setup

method (see ‘Scenario 2: Connect to a

non-WPS router’ on page 13).

• Enable SSID broadcast on the Wi-Fi router.

• Keep away from potential sources of

interference which may affect Wi-Fi signal,

such as microwave ovens.

• If you fail to use your PC for Wi-Fi network

setup, check whether your PC is using a

Wi-Fi network. You cannot use Ethernet

connection for AirPlay network setup.

• Make sure that the SSID name of your

home router consists of alphanumeric

characters, with no space or special

characters like %/#/* inserted.

• If you choose to rename the AirPlay device

‘Philips_Fidelio XXXX’ in the setting

menu, do not use special characters or

symbols.

• For some new types of Wi-Fi routers, a

network name (SSID) may be created

automatically when you use WPS for

connection. Always change the default

network name (SSID) to a simple one that

consists of alphanumerical characters, and

also change the Wi-Fi security mode to

secure your network.

Occasional breaking of AirPlay music

streaming

Do one or all of the following:

• Move DS3881W closer to your Wi-Fi

router.

• Remove any obstacles between DS3881W

and your Wi-Fi router.
