If you have already used the Quick Install Guide and have successfully set up your Media Center Extender, you can skip this Chapter which provides more detailed information regarding networks and connections.
Connect to a Wireless or Wired Network
The following diagram shows a home network that is congured cor­rectly, using a wireless connection. The PC is connected to the router using an Ethernet connection and the Extender is connected to this same router using a wireless connection. In this case both can connect to the internet and can communicate to each other.

NOTE: It is very important that your Media Center Extender is

Connecting your Extender to your home network and the Internet will enable you to access Online Services, and will also enable you to share your Vista Media Center computer’s audio, video and picture les.
Wireless Network
The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard
802.11 specifications. Actual performance can vary, including lower wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, range and coverage. Performance depends on many factors, conditions and variables, including distance from the access point, volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used, interference and other adverse conditions.
Attach the Antennas
If connecting wirelessly, you need to attach the antennas. There are two (2) antennas for the DMA2100 and three (3) for the DMA2200. The antennas should be screwed on in a clockwise direction. Hand tighten until they are securely in place. The antennas should be raised when the Extender is in use.

Wireless Security
Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network secure.
Your entire network must match security levels for each device to work. The security levels available for your Media Center Extender are WEP, WPA/PSK TKIP or WPA2/PSK AES. If your network is unencrypted, you can also choose that, however it is not recommended.
Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication.
A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the highest level of encryption supported by your network equipment.
WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the only option available on some older devices that do not support WPA.
You can also purchase a wireless powerline adapter, such as Linksys PLE200 to improve wireless network speed and security.

We recommend that you use a high definition connection, if possible. Component video cables are included with the Media Center Extender. If you use component video, you will need to make a separate audio connection. If your TV is capable of receiving an HDMI signal you can connect a HDMI cable (not included) which will supply both audio and video signals.
Component Video
Connect the component video cable (included) from the Media Center Extender’s back panel to your TV’s available component video connection ports.
