Connect Cube to Your Network
Cube allows you to connect multiple ways. The simplest is to connect Cube to one other device (Ad Hoc
mode), or you can add Cube to an existing network (Infrastructure mode). Find brief descriptions of these
modes below.

In Ad Hoc mode, Cube will create and advertise its own network name (SSID). Your computer,
decoder, or mobile device connects directly to Cube, with no additional network equipment
required.

When using Infrastructure mode, Cube must be configured to join an existing wireless network,
or connected to a network switch via Ethernet. Infrastructure mode allows Cube to communicate
with all devices on your network, and is recommended for streaming to the Internet. Wireless
range is typically improved when Cube is connected via a wireless access point.
