Wireless via Wi-Fi
This lets you connect your T-Box
without cables. This is useful if your T-Box and TV aren't near your modem.
You'll need a Wi-Fi modem and your Wi-Fi security information to connect
this way. If you use a BigPond Home Network Gateway, you can find the Wi-Fi
security information either printed on the bottom of the gateway or on the Wi-Fi
card provided with the gateway.
You can setup Wi-Fi with your T-Box in a couple of ways:
• With a password
• Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) with compatible modems/gateways. You should
check your modem's user guide to see if it's WPS compatible
Network name, also called SSID
Password, also called WPA or WEP key
When connected, follow the on-screen instructions to select how to connect
with Wi-Fi. You'll also find more information on Wi-Fi connections in the T-Box
User Guide.
Wi-Fi connections can be affected by various factors in your home, such as
other wireless devices, obstacles blocking the signal and the distance between
the modem and the T-Box device. You need to consider these factors when
setting up your T-Box. Telstra also has a range of Home Network extender
accessories to make connecting easier.
