4. Check physical connections. Ensure that all network equipment is receiving power and that all cable connections for routers, hubs,
access points, and computers in the network are working. Verify that the "connection" light is lit on all devices connected to the
network.
5. Powercycle network devices. If you have a router or wireless access point, unplug it, wait a moment, and then plug it back in. This
will temporarily halt your network's Internet connection. It may take up to a minute for your equipment to "restart" after you plug it
back in.
6. Check your Network Settings. Verify that your Network Settings are correct. Complete TCP/IP Settings, even if you did not when
you first connected your DVR. For more information, see "Completing the DVR's Network Settings" on page 86.
7. Update router or home gateway firmware. If your home network includes using a router, home gateway, or wireless access point, it
may need a firmware update. Firmware is a software program that is loaded onto a hardware device. You can usually find any
updated firmware at the Customer Support web site for the manufacturer of your hardware. (For example, if you have a Linksys
device, check http://www.linksys.com/download/.) Older firmware may cause unpredictable results. It may be necessary to power-
cycle your device before and after you reinstall the firmware.
8. Check Static IP Address. If you assigned an IP address to your DVR, check that its IP address is unique on your network. Also,
confirm that the first three sets of numbers of the DVR's IP address are the same as those of other devices on the network. (For
example, if you computer's IP address starts with "192.168.1" then your DVR's IP address must also start with"192.168.1".)
If you have a wireless network and haven't already done so, you should also try the steps in "My DVR is not connecting to my wireless
home network." on page 121.
