This step explains how to set up your network to
connect to your base station at home via public
wireless LAN networks and hotel LAN
connectors.
Note
• You need to do this setup before you go out.
• A contract or application may be required to connect
to the Internet at some locations.
To watch TV and videos away from home, you
must first connect the base station to the Internet.
You can connect the base station to the Internet
over a DSL line or a cable TV line.
z
Tips
• To use the NetAV function to watch TV and videos
away from home, we recommend that the
connection to the base station be broadband with
upload and download speeds of at least 300 kbps.
Contact your Internet service provider for more
information about the speed of your
communications line.
• The faster line speeds you use, the better picture
quality you get when you watch TV using NetAV.
Connecting to the router
Using a LAN cable (not supplied), connect the
LAN terminal of the base station to your router.
The connection method you should use depends
on your ISP and equipment. For more
information, contact your ISP.
Notes
• Depending on your Internet service provider, you
may not be able to connect multiple devices, such as
the base station and several computers. For more
information, contact your service provider.
• To determine what kind of LAN cable you use, refer
to the operating instructions for your router, cable
modem, or DSL modem.
• For details on setting up the connection, refer to the
operating instructions for your router, cable modem,
or DSL modem. If you have any questions, contact
your service provider.
• Further information about configurations is also
available on the following website.
