Answer
on the Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System, press MENU, then select
[Information] > [Wireless] > [Wireless mode]. Check that the
Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System has been changed from Ad hoc mode
to Infrastructure mode. Also check that the SSID, IP address, WEP
key, or WPA key matches the setup of your wireless home network.
• Try to change the SSID on your router to a more unique name to
ensure that it is different from the SSID that your neighbors use
for their router.
• The Wireless Micro Hi-Fi System supports wireless and wired
connection at the same time. There is a chance that your wireless
IP address and your wired IP address are on the same subnet.
This will confuse the device. Consider changing the DHCP range
of your wireless router so that the wireless IP received by the
device is on a different subnet from its wired IP address.
• Try to change the channel of your home network settings on the
router.
• on your router, consider using a WPA key instead of a WEP key.
When you use a WEP as your encryption key, set all 4 keys to be
the same.
• Ensure that the turbo mode of your wireless router is switched
off, if your router has this function.
