Connecting Slingbox to your Home Network

Slingbox works with any high-speed Internet connection or broadband home network. You must have
a router to use Slingbox. Slingbox comes with an Ethernet cable. If it's not long enough to reach your
router, you can use a longer cable, or one of the optional connections. See "Optional Networking
Connections" on page 102.
What you need to get started:
• A high-speed Internet connection using a cable or DSL modem if you plan to view your Slingbox
remotely.
• A router, so Slingbox and your computer can access the Internet separately.
See "Optional Networking Connections" on page 102 if your Slingbox is not within Ethernet cable reach
of your router.
1. Connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the Network connector on Slingbox.
2. Connect the other end to an available port on your router or a nearby Ethernet jack.
3. You now need to power-up the Slingbox, see "Powering-up your Slingbox" on page 22.
