Here are some notes to help you choose which approach you want to use. • Wired (Ethernet). Ethernet connections are generally faster, less expensive, more reliable and less susceptible to interference than wireless networks. Using Multi-Room Viewing to transfer a program is quicker over wired (Ethernet) than it would be over a wireless connection. • Wireless. Connecting your DVR wirelessly may be more convenient because you do not have to run a cable from your DVR to another device. However, wireless networks are typically more expensive and slower than Ethernet networks, and may be subject to interference from appliances such as microwaves and 2.4 GHz cordless phones. To connect wirelessly, you must have a wireless access point or wireless router on your home network. On most home networks, the wireless access point is part of an integrated hub/router and home gateway. ;} Connecting to a Home Network • To connect a DVR to a home network wirelessly, see "Making a Wireless Connection" on page 83. • To connect a DVR to a wired (Ethernet) network, see "Making a Wired (Ethernet) Connection" on page 85.
