Method 3. Setting up a network connection by adding a new access point

You can set up a wireless LAN network connection by adding a new access point.

If you cannot find the desired network name (SSID) in the list of available networks, try this connection method.

Note

  • This connection method requires information such as the network name (SSID) (*1) of the wireless LAN router/access point and the security key (password) (*2) for the network.

*1 SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a particular access point.

*2 This information should be available from a label on your wireless LAN router/access point, from the operating manual, from the person who set up your wireless network, or from the information provided by your Internet service provider.

  1. Select [Settings] - [Network Settings] - [Internet Settings].
  2. Select [Wireless Setup].

    The HDD AUDIO PLAYER starts searching for available access points.
  4. When the list of available network names (SSID) is displayed, select [Add a new access point].
  5. Select [Manual registration].
    An input space for the network name (SSID) appears on the screen.

  9. Select the security mode of your wireless LAN router/access point from [None], [WEP], [WPA/WPA2-PSK] or [WPA2-PSK] on the security mode selection screen.
