Step 5 - Connecting to Your Network
The media player can be connected to your home network to access the Internet 
and network storage using a wired or wireless network connection. A network 
connection provides access to locally stored and online media content.
Wired Network Connection
To connect to a home network using an Ethernet cable:
1. Plug an Ethernet cable (sold separately) into the Ethernet connector on the 
media player.
2. Plug the opposite end of the Ethernet cable directly into a LAN port on a router or 
network switch.
For detailed instructions on wireless and wired network connections and 
configuration, go to the next page (“Network Setup” on page 23).
Note: Streaming over wi-fi may be unstable due to various reasons such as a weak network 
connection, signal strength, variable speeds, or other environmental factors. You can create instant 
high-speed, wired network connections and gain fast, reliable access to the Internet without running 
wires all over your house using WD Livewire™ Powerline AV Network kit (sold separately). For more
