Notes on Network Connection:

Many network connection problems during set up can often be fixed by re-setting the router or modem. After connecting the unit to the home network, quickly power off and/or connect the power cable of the home network router or cable modem. Then power on and/or connect the power cable again.

Depending on the internet service provider (ISP), the number of devices that can receive internet service may be limited by the applicable terms of service. For details, contact your ISP.

Our company is not responsible for any malfunction of the unit and/or the internet connection feature due to communication errors/malfunctions associated with your broadband internet connection, or other connected equipment.

Some internet content may require a higher bandwidth connection.

Even if the unit is properly connected and configured, some internet content may not operate properly because of internet congestion, the quality or bandwidth of your internet service, or problems at the provider of the content.

Some internet connection operations may not be possible due to certain restrictions set by the Internet service provider (ISP) supplying your broadband Internet connection.

Any fees charged by an ISP including, without limitation, connection charges are your responsibility.

A 10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required for wired connection to this unit. If your internet service does not allow for such a connection, you will not be able to connect the unit.

You must use a Router to use xDSL service.

A DSL modem is required to use DSL service and a cable modem is required to use cable modem service. Depending on the access method of and subscriber agreement with your ISP, you may not be able to use the internet connection feature contained in this unit or you may be limited to the number of devices you can connect at the same time. (If your ISP limits subscription to one device, this unit may not be allowed to connect when a PC is already connected.)

The use of a “Router” may not be allowed or its usage may be limited depending on the policies and restrictions of your ISP. For details, contact your ISP directly.

The wireless network operate at 2.4 GHz radio frequencies that are also used by other

household devices such as cordless telephone, Bluetooth® devices, microwave oven, and can be affected by interference from them.

Turn off all unused network equipment in your local home network. Some devices may generate network traffic.

For the purpose of the better transmission, placing the unit from the access point as close as possible.

In some instances, placing the access point or wireless router at least 0.45 m (1.5 ft.) above the floor may improve the reception.

Move closer to the access point if possible or reorient the unit so there is nothing between it and the access point.

The reception quality over wireless depends on many factors such as type of the access point, distance between the unit and access point, and the location of the unit.

Set your access point or wireless router to Infrastructure mode. Ad-hoc mode is not supported.
