Ip Address; Connecting To A Server - NETGEAR EVA9150 - Digital Entertainer Elite User Manual

• NETGEAR recommends using a wireless 802.11 n router with 5GHz capability such as
WNDR3300. For best results, do the following:
• Use a separate SSID for the 5GHz band.
• Set the Digital Entertainer Elite to use the 5GHz SSID.
• Run the "Network Test" and make sure the Digital Entertainer software is running on a
PC. Try to reposition the router and the Digital Entertainer Elite to maximize throughput
to the PC. Readings above 60Mbps should be readily achievable.
• When using 802.11g or 802.11 n, make sure that there are no 802.11b devices connected.
Having any 802.11b devices connected reduces the overall throughput of your network even if
the 802.11b devices are not active.
• In environments with lots of wireless networks you might have better results with power line
networking.

IP Address

If the Digital Entertainer Elite does not receive a valid IP address, try the following:
1. Verify that a working DHCP server is on your network. Computers on the network should get
IP addresses in the correct range.
If the Digital Entertainer Elite is set to use DHCP and fails to obtain an IP address from the
server, it resorts to a default IP address of 127.0.0.1. You can use a static IP address if there is
a problem connecting to the DHCP server.
2. If you are using a wireless network, verify that the Digital Entertainer Elite is associated with
the correct SSID. To display the SSID, follow the instructions in
on page 6-7.
3. If you are using a secure wireless network, verify that the security settings, such as WEP or
WPA, on the Digital Entertainer Elite, match the settings on your access point. For information
about wireless security, see "Wireless Networking Basics" listed in
Documents."

Connecting to a Server

If the Digital Entertainer Elite cannot find the correct server, try the following:
1. Verify that the Digital Entertainer Elite and the PC running the Digital Entertainer for
Windows software are on the same subnet.
