Choosing Wireless or Wired (Ethernet)
You can connect your Recorder to your home network using either a wireless or wired
(Ethernet) connection. Here are some notes to help you choose which approach you want
to use.
• Wired (Ethernet). Ethernet connections are generally faster, less expensive, more
reliable and less susceptible to interference than wireless networks. Using Multi-Room
Viewing to transfer a program is quicker over wired (Ethernet) than it would be over a
wireless connection.
• Wireless. Connecting your Recorder wirelessly may be more convenient because you
do not have to run a cable from your Recorder to another device. However, wireless
networks are typically more expensive and slower than Ethernet networks, and may be
subject to interference from appliances such as microwaves and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones. To connect wirelessly, you must have a wireless access point or wireless
router on your home network. On most home networks, the wireless access point is
part of an integrated hub/router and home gateway.
