Wi-Fi Connection Using an Access Point Wi-Fi Connection Using an Access Point The camcorder can connect to a Wi-Fi network using a wireless router (access point) and even remember the settings for the four most recently used access points. 136 General requirements • Correctly configured router that complies with the 802.11a/b/g/n protocol and is Wi-Fi certified (bears the logo shown on the right) and a home network. Operating modes: Select the desired connection method. Options [WPS: Button]* Simply press and hold the WPS button on your access point and then touch the camcorder's screen. This is the easiest connection method if you are using a WPS-compatible router. For details, see Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) (A 136). [WPS: PIN Code]* Access the access point's configuration screen using your Web browser. The camcorder will give you a PIN code, which you will enter into the browser. You will need a WPScompatible router and a computer or other device connected to it. For details, see Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) (A 136). [Search for Access Points] Following the camcorder's onscreen instructions, you select your access point from a list of detected SSIDs and then enter your password. For details, see Searching for Access Points (A 137). [Manual Setup] You manually enter the access point's SSID, password and other network settings. This method is recommended for advanced users of Wi-Fi networks. For details, see Manual Setup (A 137). * WPS, which stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup, is a standard that makes connecting to a access point easier. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) If your access point is WPS-compatible (bears the logo shown on the right), connecting the camcorder to it can be very easy. With WPS, you will either use the [WPS: Button] method or [WPS: PIN Code] method (see the description in the previous section). If you cannot successfully connect the camcorder using WPS, try using the [Search for Access Points] method. Refer also to the router's instruction manual. 1 [WPS: Button] method Press and hold the WPS button on the access point. • Depending on the access point, the amount of time required may differ. • Make sure the router's WPS function is activated. [WPS: PIN Code] method From a computer or similar device connected to the access point, use the Web browser to open the router's WPS settings screen. After the 8-digit PIN code appears on the camcorder's screen, enter it into your router's WPS settings screen.
