wireless or wired (Ethernet) connection. Here are some notes to help you
decide which approach you want to use.
• Wireless. Connecting your DVR wirelessly may be more convenient
because you do not have to run a cable from your DVR to another
device. However, wireless networks are typically more expensive and
slower than Ethernet networks, and may be subject to interference from
appliances such as microwaves and 2.4 GHz cordless phones. To
connect wirelessly, you must have a wireless access point or wireless
router on your home network. On most home networks, the wireless
access point is part of an integrated hub/router and home gateway.

expensive, more reliable and less susceptible to interference than
wireless networks. Using Multi-Room Viewing to transfer a program is
quicker over wired (Ethernet) than it would be over a wireless
connection.
