Wireless Disclaimer
The maximum performance for wireless is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifi cations. 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 traffi c, building materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products used, interference and other adverse conditions.
Avis de non-responsabilité concernant les appareils sans fi l
Les performances maximales pour les réseaux sans fi l sont tirées des spécifi cations de la norme IEEE 802.11. Les performances réelles peuvent varier, notamment en fonction de la capacité du réseau sans fi l, du débit de la transmission de données, de la portée et de la couverture. Les performances dépendent de facteurs, conditions et variables multiples, en particulier de la distance par rapport au point d’accès, du volume du trafi c réseau, des matériaux utilisés dans le bâtiment et du type de construction, du système d’exploitation et de la combinaison de produits sans fi l utilisés, des interférences et de toute autre condition défavorable.

Troubleshooting:
If you are having trouble connecting your TiVo Wireless N Network Adapter to your network:
• Make sure the adapter is within your router’s wireless range.
• Check the various wired connections (power cords, Ethernet cables, etc.) and that your router is on and functioning properly.
• Try repeating the setup steps.
• If you have trouble connecting to your router using WPS, try confi guring the adapter manually using the setup wizard:
1. Reset your TiVo Wireless N Network Adapter to its factory default settings by using a
paper clip to press the Restore Factory Settings button on the bottom of the adapter until the power LED turns amber, then release. The adapter will restart with its factory default settings.
2. Connect the adapter to your network-enabled computer using the instructions starting
on page 13.
3. In a web browser, go to 192.168.10.1 and run the setup wizard. If after you run the
setup wizard the adapter is still unable to connect to your wireless network, check the following:
• Make sure the correct Network Name (SSID) is selected from the list of available networks (the network name is case sensitive and must match exactly).
• If your network uses WPA or WPA-2 security, make sure you are using the same passphrase used to connect other devices (note: the passphrase is case sensitive).
• If your network uses WEP, make sure that your security credentials match those set up on your router.
• Update your adapter’s fi rmware. Go to www.tivo.com/wirelessn for information on how to update your adapter’s fi rmware.
• If you’re changing your TiVo service connection from a phone line to a network connection, go to TiVo Central, then ‘Messages & Settings’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Phone & Network’, and choose “Use network instead”.
• Make sure your Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol (DHCP) address is correct.
If your adapter’s LEDs are showing solid and indicate a secure network connection but your TiVo DVR still won’t connect, go to TiVo Central, then ‘Messages & Settings’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Phone & Network’ > ‘Change Network Settings’ > ‘Get automatically from a DHCP server’ to make sure you’re using the correct DHCP address.
Reconfi guring your TiVo® Wireless N Network Adapter:
In order to reconfi gure your adapter, it must fi rst be reset to its factory default settings. To reset your adapter, use a paper clip to press the Restore Fac tory Settings button on the bottom of the adapter until the power LED turns amber, then release. The adapter will restart with its factory default settings.
