Connecting to a Home Network
Wireless Encryption. If you entered an alphanumeric 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. Recorders are not currently compatible with 256-bit
encryption.
Confirm Settings. Select “Accept these settings” if they are correct. For steps you can
take to troubleshoot issues with your wireless connection, see “Questions About
Networking” on page 148.
Change Connection Type. 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 instead of a
phone line.
Next Step. You have completed wireless settings. If your home network has DHCP, and
you do not have a DHCP Client ID, the Recorder 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.”
TCP/IP Settings for a Home Network
You are ready to complete TCP/IP settings if:
• You are connecting your Recorder to your home network wirelessly and have already
completed “Wireless Settings for a Home Network” on page 121, or
• You have a wired (Ethernet) adapter connecting your Recorder to your home network.
