Why do I have to change my machine’s network setting to “Wired LAN” during setup
although I am trying to setup Wireless LAN?
If you are using Windows ® 98/98SE/Me/2000, Mac OS ® X 10.2.4 or greater or your computer is connected
to the wireless network using a network cable, it is recommended you temporarily connect the machine to
your access point, hub or router using a network cable. You will also need to change your machine’s network
setting to wired LAN temporarily. Your machine’s network setting will be changed to wireless LAN
automatically or during the course of the setup.
