Before you begin:
The SBH300 Wi-Fi Client uses the WPA2-PSK protocol. Ensure that the external Wi-Fi router is set to
WPA2-PSK mode.
About this task:
To connect the SBH300 to the Internet over Wi-Fi, complete the following steps:
1. Plug the Wi-Fi adapter into the USB port.
2. Log on to the SBH300 local UI. See Connecting to the SBH with the Wi-Fi access point.
3. Click Settings > Wi-Fi Client.
4. From the Enabled list, select On.
Important: When the Wi-Fi Client is set to On, set the Ethernet setting on the Ethernet
Settings screen to Off. Wi-Fi and Ethernet cannot be enabled at the same time or the
device does not work.
5. Click the Select SSID button.
6. From the SSID list, select the SSID of the wireless network you want to connect to.
Note: Ensure the SSID of the wireless network does not contain special characters,
such as ',*,@,$,!,#. Special characters prevent the SBH300 connecting to wireless
networks.
7. In the Passphrase field, enter the passphrase of the wireless network.
8. Click Save. To see your changes, refresh the page.
Note: If you do not intend to permanently connect the SBH to the Internet, it is best
practice to use the Wi-Fi Client to temporarily connect to the Internet to ensure that the
SBH300 downloads the latest firmware packages.
