Communications may be cut off depending on signal conditions.
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER does not support 5 GHz band Wi-Fi.
The data transfer rate for IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz) devices may be
affected by interference when used with IEEE 802.11b products. Also, products using IEEE
802.11g and IEEE 802.11n automatically lower the transfer rate to maintain compatibility with
IEEE 802.11b products. The normal transfer rate may be regained by changing the channel
settings of your access point.
When the data transfer rate is not as fast as expected, changing the wireless channel on the
access point may increase the rate.
If a communication failure occurs while transferring music files, updating the firmware of your
access point may improve the communication status.
