My network device
can't access the
Internet.
My network is using
a static IP address,
how do I assign an IP
address to my
wireless bridge?
Netflix movies are
slow to start playing.
My Internet
connection is fast
enough, but
buffering times are
still too long and I
only see standard
wireless bridge or A/C power adapter, then
disconnect the wireless bridge and A/C power
adapter immediately, as far as it is safely possible to
do so. Call your dealer of purchase for help.
a. Ensure that your broadband router is fully
functional.
b. Switch off both your network device and wireless
bridge, and switch back on again.
c. Ensure that the wireless bridge is powered on (check
the LED) and that the Ethernet cable is properly
connected to the network device.
d. Use a computer to access the CV-7438nDM's
browser based configuration interface. If something
is wrong, you will see an error page before the home
page. On the home page, check "Status" under
"Wireless Settings". It should be "Connected" – if it
is "Disconnected" then this means the wireless
bridge is not connected to your router/access point.
You can modify the IP address of the wireless bridge
using the browser based configuration interface. Please
refer to IV-5. Administrator.
Typically, enough of the movie is pre-loaded before
playback begins to ensure there are no interruptions
during once playback is under way. This is known as
buffering. The speed of your Internet connection is the
most influential factor in determining the length of
time buffering – a slower connection means more time
buffering. For instant streaming of standard definition
content, generally an Internet download speed of at
least 2Mbps is necessary. For instant HD streaming,
download speeds of at least 5 Mbps are generally
required.
It is possible the problem still lies with your Internet
connection.
a. Check and compare your connection speed at
different times. During peak usage times i.e.
weekends and evenings, Internet connection speeds
can fluctuate significantly depending on your ISP's
