Connecting to a network

Содержание

Important Note: It is vitally important that your Network Player remains connected to an internet network as often as possible, either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. This will ensure that the unit is regularly updated to meet essential security protocols, third party compatibility.

Firmware upgrading is highly recommended. It enhances stability, improves performance, and adds new features for a better user experience.

Note: Your player is not compatible with captive portal networks. Where possible, avoid the use of powerline adapters and Wi-Fi signal boosters/extenders, as these can disrupt the reliability of the network connection.
