Confi rm that you’ve entered your network’s security key correctly and •
that you’ve selected the correct network security type.
NOTE: Squeezebox Boom follows the 802.11 standard and uses
hexadecimal keys for WEP encryption. 64-bit and 128-bit WEP keys are
10 characters and 26 characters, respectively. If the key you’ve entered
into Squeezebox Boom is only fi ve or 13 characters long, then you have
an ASCII encryption key, which must be converted to hexadecimal. There
are several web sites that offer free tools for converting ASCII WEP keys to
hexadecimal.
If your wireless router uses a common network name (SSID) like •
NETGEAR or LINKSYS, there may be more than one wireless network
in range that has the same name as yours. Your Squeezebox Boom
might be attempting to connect to the wrong network. Consider
changing your network’s SSID to something that’s uniquely
identifi able.
Check whether your wireless router is using MAC fi ltering. MAC •
fi ltering provides an extra level of security by ensuring that no
unknown computers or other devices can connect to your wireless
network without prior authorization. If you can not turn off MAC
fi ltering, you (or your local network expert) can add Squeezebox
Boom’s MAC address to the router’s table of allowed devices. You can
fi nd your Squeezebox Boom’s MAC address printed on a label on the
bottom of the unit.
If Squeezebox Boom can not locate your computer
or connect to SqueezeCenter
During normal operation, if SqueezeCenter is running on a computer that’s
connected to your wireless network, your computer’s name will be displayed
when you select Settings > Information > SqueezeCenter information
from Squeezebox Boom’s Home Screen. If this does not happen, it might be
because of the following:
SqueezeCenter isn’t running.1.
