Scan for a Wireless Network
Click SCAN to begin searching for available wireless networks to
repeat.
Highlight your network and click Next to continue.
If you fail to find any wireless networks, the A/V Net Connect may
be placed too far from the wireless network that you are trying to
repeat. Move your A/V Net Connect closer to the wireless network
that you are trying to repeat and click SCAN again.
The Scan results page will display information regarding the name of
the network (SSID), the channel which the wireless network is
operating on and the type of network that it is. AP stands for Access
Point and is the standard type of wireless network. The results page
will also display whether or not your network has security and what
the signal strength is coming from each specific network detected.

Connecting to a Secure Network
If the wireless network you are trying to repeat has wireless security enabled, you will be prompted to enter a
security key. If you did not select a secure network, continue to the next step.
Enter the security key in the space
provided. You do not need to select
what type of security it is, just simply
type in the key and click Next.
The Smart Setup Wizard will
automatically take care of the rest. If the
key you entered is incorrect it will
prompt you to enter the key again. If you
do not know the key to the network you
are trying to repeat, then click Back and
select another network.

Extended A/V Network Settings
The default SSID of the A/V Net Connect is “Amped_Av”
This SSID for the Extended Network may be changed by
adjusting the name in the field for the Extended Wireless
Network ID.
This ID will be used by wireless A/V devices connecting to
the A/V Net Connect to identify the A/V Net Connect’s
Extended A/V Network.
It is recommended to use the default settings.

Extended Wireless Network Security Key
By default, the Extended Network has
security enabled. The WPA security key is
“wireless.” Users trying to connect to the
A/V Net Connect wirelessly will be
prompted to enter this key.
It is recommended that you use the default
settings for the wireless security key.
To change the security key, simply retype
your new key in the field and click Next. Write your security key down somewhere safe for future reference.
No security key is necessary for computers connecting to the A/V Net Connect using a wired connection to the
LAN ports.
After clicking Next, the A/V Net Connect will reboot and apply your settings. Be patient and do not make any
changes or adjustments to the A/V Net Connect at this time.

of your setup. At this time, you may:
a) Detach the cable from your computer to the A/V Net Connect
b) Place the A/V Net Connect in your entertainment center if you haven’t already. You may power off
the A/V Net Connect during this time.
c) Attach your wired A/V devices to the back of the A/V Net Connect.

If the Home Network connection fails try the following…
a. Check to see that your Home Network security settings are correct.
b. Check that your Home Network router’s DHCP server is enabled.
c. Try changing the channel of the Home Network router to a higher channel number (5-11) and run the
Setup Wizard again.
d. If possible, check the Internet connection for your Home Network wireless router. Connect directly to
your Home Network wireless router. If you are unable to access the internet through the Home
Network wireless router you must first fix this problem. The A/V Net Connect will not be able to
obtain internet access through a router that does not have internet access. Once Internet access is
restored, connect to the A/V Net Connect again and retry the Smart Setup Wizard.
e. Return to the Smart Setup Wizard and attempt to connect to another Home Network known to have
Internet access.
f. Try to reboot (unplug the power from the A/V Net Connect and plug it back in) the A/V Net Connect
and check to see if the connection is established (some networks may be very slow and take longer
than the allotted time for the A/V Net Connect to successfully connect).

access only to some users with lower
bandwidth by changing the band. (i.e. only
allow 802.11b access to specific users)

and it is incorrect, you will no longer have a successful
connection to your Home Network.
