Connecting to a Home Network
3. Position the adapter. Position the adapter in an open location so that the signal is
easily transmitted. For example, you might place the adapter on top of your
entertainment center. Do not place the wireless adapter near the Recorder’s power
supply or on a power strip or surge protector. Doing so can cause signal interference or
reduce signal strength.
4. Firmware update. When you first connect a wireless network adapter to your
Recorder, you may see a screen that says “Firmware Update Required.” This means
your Recorder has a software update for the wireless network adapter you have
connected. Select the option to update. This should not take more than a minute or two.
During the update, do not disconnect the network adapter wires or the power to the
Recorder. Either action might damage the adapter.
5. Important message. The first time you press the TiVo button after connecting a
network adapter, you will see an Important Message. Review it, then press SELECT
on the remote control to go to TiVo Central.
6. Next Step. Go to “Completing the Recorder’s Network Settings” on page 121.
