Notes on Wi-Fi connections
-
Local regulations may restrict the use of Wi-Fi devices in some countries or regions.
-
Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz* bands. Various devices use these bands. Wi-Fi devices use technology to minimize radio interference from other devices on the same band. However, radio interference may cause the following effects.
- Slower data transfer rates
- Smaller communication range
- Communication failure
-
If you enable both the Wi-Fi function and the Bluetooth function on the player, slower data transfer rates or other problems may occur.
-
If you enable both the Wi-Fi function and the Bluetooth function on the 2.4 GHz band, this may cause slower data transfer rates. You may be able to increase the rate by changing the Wi-Fi frequency band to the 5 GHz or 6 GHz* band.
-
To perform Wi-Fi communications outdoors, you may need to contract with a Wi-Fi service provider.
-
The data transfer rate and communication range may vary depending on the following conditions.
- Distance between devices
- Obstructions between devices
- Device configuration
- Signal conditions
- Surrounding environment (wall material, etc.)
- Software in use
-
Communications may cut off depending on signal conditions.
-
The data transfer rate is the theoretical maximum. It does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.
-
You will not be able to perform Wi-Fi communications in the following situations.
- The Wi-Fi router does not support the Wi-Fi frequency band used by the player.
- The Wi-Fi frequency band used by the player is disabled on the Wi-Fi router.
To perform Wi-Fi communications, configure the settings on both the player and the Wi-Fi router to use a common frequency band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz*).
-
If the data transfer rate is slow, you may be able to increase the rate by changing the wireless channel on the access point.
-
The Wi-Fi antenna is built into the player. If you cover the antenna with your hands or other objects, the Wi-Fi connection may deteriorate.
