Ensure that all network equipment is receiving power and that all cable connections for routers, hubs, access points, and computers in the network are working. Verify that the "connection" light is lit on all devices connected to the network. 5. Powercycle network devices. If you have a router or wireless access point, unplug it, wait a moment, and then plug it back in. This will temporarily halt yom network's Internet connection. It may take up to a minute for yom equipment to "restart" after you plug it back in. 6. Check your Network Settings. Verify that yom Network Settings are correct. Complete TCP/IP Settings, even if you did not when you first connected your DVR. For more information, see "Completing the DVR's Network Settings" on page 86. 7. Update router or home gateway firmware. If yom home network includes using a router, home gateway, or wireless access point, it may need a firmware update. Firmware is a software program that is loaded onto a hardware device. You can usually find any updated firmware at the Customer Support web site for the manufacturer of your hardware. (For example, if you have a Linksys device, check http://www.linksys.com/downloadl.) Older firmware may cause unpredictable results. It may be necessary to powercycle yom device before and after you reinstall the firmware. 8. Check Static IP Address. If you assigned an IP address to your DVR, check that its IP address is unique on your network. Also, confirm that the first three sets of numbers of the DVR's IP address are the same as those of other devices on the network. (For example, if you computer's IP address starts with "192.168.1" then your DVR's IP address must also start with"192.168.1".) If you have a wireless network and haven't already done so, you should also try the steps in "My DVR is not connecting to my wireless home network." on page 121. 120
