Wired
Network connection using Ethernet broadband connection. The C 446
is defaulted to "Wired" setup. It is advisable that wired connection is
utilized when possible. Wired connection is less likely to have "drop-out"
or range problem and not vulnerable to interference or eavesdropping.
Using a standard straight-through Ethernet cable (not supplied),
connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of your wired
Ethernet broadband router and the other end to C 446's LAN port.
Wireless
Network connection using WiFi broadband connection. Ensure that
the supplied wireless antenna is installed in the C 446 rear panel's
wireless antenna terminal (WiFi) before setting up the wireless network
connection of your C 446.

provided in the "INTERNET RADIO – WIRELESS SETUP" section of the C 446
