green or orange.
Step 7: Optional: add an additional set-top box to the wireless network
If you have more than one set-top box you wish to connect to the wireless network, simply repeat
the procedure from “Step 4: Set up one Wi-Fi Media Bridge near your set-top box” using another Wi-
Fi Media Bridge.
