Method 2. Setting up a network connection by selecting an access point
You can set up a Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) network connection by searching for an access point.
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.
- Select [Settings] - [Network Settings] - [Internet Settings].
- Select [Wireless Setup].
- Select [Select access point].
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER starts searching for available access points.
- When the list of available network names (SSID) is displayed, select the access point you want to connect to.
An input space for a security key (WEP/WPA) appears on the screen.
If you have selected an access point with no security key, proceed to step 8.
-
When the input space for the security key (WEP/WPA) is surrounded by a white box, press ENTER.
An editing display and keyboard appear.
- Enter the security key (WEP/WPA).
For details on how to use the keyboard, see “How to input characters.”
- When you have finished entering the security key, select [Next].
- When the setup is completed, select [OK].
Note
- You can enter 5, 13 or 26 alphanumeric characters and/or symbols for a WEP key or 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters and/or symbols for a WPA key.
Hint
- If you cannot find the network name (SSID) you want to connect to in step 4, add a new access point.
