Step 3 - Connecting to Your Network
The media center can be connected to your home network so you can transfer files
back and forth from your networked computer to the media center, and access the
Internet and network storage using a wired or wireless network connection. A
network connection provides access to locally stored and online media content.
Wired Network Connection
Note: Ethernet cables are sold separately.
To connect to a home network using an Ethernet cable:
1. Plug an Ethernet cable (sold separately) into the Ethernet connector on the
media center.
2. Plug the opposite end of the Ethernet cable directly into a LAN port on a router or
network switch (if using a switch, it must be connected to the router).
For detailed instructions on wireless and wired network connections and
configuration, see “Network Setup” on page 69.
Note: Streaming over Wi-Fi™ may be unstable due to various reasons such as a weak network
connection, signal strength, variable speeds, or other environmental factors. You can create instant
high-speed, wired network connections and gain fast, reliable access to the Internet without running
wires all over your house using WD Livewire™ powerline AV network kit (sold separately). For more
