Using a wired network provides the best
performance, because the attached devices
connect directly to the network and are not subject
to radio frequency interference.

port on your Modem or Router using a
commercially available LAN or Ethernet cable.

the LAN port.

ySince there are various connection

congurations, please follow the
specications of your telecommunication
carrier or internet service provider.

servers, this player must be connected to
the same local area network with them via a
