Internet Setup
Introduction
You must connect to the Internet in order to
use the Internet Radio. Before you can use the
Internet part of the unit you must have:
A wireless (Wi-Fi) access point (AP)
.
OR
An Ethernet connection with an RJ45 plug.
If your wireless network is already in use, it
•
might have Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption.
You will need to enter the WEP or WPA key
word into the unit so that it can communicate
with the router.
The ‘access point’ in a wireless network has
•
a name known as the ‘SSID’. You will need to
‘tell’ the unit the SSID when setting it up for
the first time.

Usually the SSID starts out as the brand and
•
model of the router, although it is a good idea
to change it if there are other networks, so
identification of the correct network (SSID)
is easier. Legally speaking, you should not
connect to the Internet through someone
else’s network. Apart from the legal aspect,
•
sharing a wireless link will make audio from
the Internet more prone to interference.
Wireless router range is usually enough for
•
domestic use but can be adversely affected
by some building materials and interference
sources such as other nearby wireless
networks.
If your Internet connection is still not working
after settings, always try disconnecting mains
power to all the devices in the network. Then
switch things back on in this order:
Modem. Wait a minute for the indicator lights
1.
to settle down
Router (if separate). Again, wait a minute for

Computer(s) re-start
