enter it. You must use capital and lowercase letters appropriately. For 
example, if your password is “MyPassword”, entering “mypassword” 
will not work. Use THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN to change to 
uppercase or lowercase. Select ‘Done entering text’ when you are 
finished.

If you entered an alpha-numeric password, you will see this screen. Select 
the level of encryption used by your wireless network. If your network uses 
104-bit encryption, select 128-bit encryption. TiVo Series2 DVRs are not 
currently compatible with 256-bit encryption.

Select “Accept these settings” if they are correct. For steps you can take to 
troubleshoot issues with your wireless connection, see “General Network 
Troubleshooting” on page 53.

You see this screen if you are not using a shared Internet connection to 
connect to the TiVo service. If your network has access to an always-on 
broadband connection, select “Yes” to use it to connect to the TiVo service.

You have completed wireless settings. If your home network has DHCP, 
and you do not have a DHCP Client ID, the DVR will automatically 
complete network setup. We recommend that you confirm the DHCP 
settings of your network by continuing with “TCP/IP Settings for a Home 
Network,” below.

If your home network does not have DHCP, or if you have a DHCP client 
ID, continue with “TCP/IP Settings for a Home Network.”

You are ready to complete TCP/IP settings if: 

• You are connecting your TiVo Series2 DVR to your home network 

wirelessly and have already completed “Wireless Settings for a Home 
Network” on page 15, or

• You have a wired (Ethernet) adapter connecting your TiVo Series2 DVR 

to your home network.

This section describes a few basic TCP/IP concepts. If you are familiar with 
home networking, you can skip to “Begin TCP/IP Settings” on page 18.
