already installed.What can I do?
Connection problems and problems with link quality
Question
I have successfully installed my
MC W770, the wireless USB
adapter and the software, and it
worked nicely until recently. Now I
have placed the MC W770 in a
different room, and it is not able to
connect anymore.The display
shows NO CONNECTION TO NETWORK.
What can I do?
Frequently asked questions
The MC W770 is meant to be used with the
supplied wireless adapter. However, it is
possible to use the MC W770 together with
most other WiFi certified wireless adapters as
well as in infrastructure mode networks using
Access Point. Use the Custom Installation
menu from the CD-ROM setup and choose
Network Setup. In this advanced setup
mode you can add to your audio system the
network configuration of your home network.
Please note that in this network at least
one PC needs the Musicmatch Jukebox and
Mediaserver installed and active.
Answer
Please check if your PC is still running and if the
wireless USB adapter is installed correctly.
The MC W770 PC link uses radio waves
to link between the PC and audio device.
The output power is limited by legal
regulations, and therefore also the distance
in which the PC link works is limited. Usually
the PC link function works inside a typical
single family house without problems. But the
radio-waves are dampened especially by walls,
ceilings and also by metal in your furniture.
Some good rules to improve your link
quality:The PC and the MC W770 should not
be placed more than one floor and two walls
from each other. (This depends strongly on the
wall material).The wireless USB adapter
should be placed more than 20 cm (8 inches)
away from metal plates, e.g. it should not be
placed on top of your PC or your monitor,
or even too close to them. Use the extension
cable to get some distance from your PC.Try
different positions for the wireless USB
adapter, some centimetres (inches) can already
help! Try the same with your MC W770.
