• For streaming video, use no more than one wireless link. For
example, do not connect both the Digital Entertainer HD and your
computer with media wirelessly to your router. Replace one of these
wireless links with a wired connection.
• For playing music and viewing photos, having the Digital Entertainer
HD and the computer with media files both connected wirelessly
should work fine.
• With a wireless 802.11g connection, you can stream standard-
definition video, music, and standard-resolution photos reliably,
although high network traffic and interference may cause some audio/
video interruptions.
• You can use NETGEAR’s Powerline HD product with a wired
connection: it supports all but the most demanding HD streaming.
Taking Precautions
Take precautions to secure personal data sent over wireless connections to
your Digital Entertainer HD. Also take precautions for monitoring
content, if you wish to exercise parental control.
See the following topics for information about doing this.
Access and Network Security
Use care when sharing media, and set up security in your home network
to protect your privacy and avoid unauthorized access to your photos and
media files.
When sharing media use the following precautions:
•Share only the folders containing media files. DO NOT share your
main hard drive or any folder containing programs or personal data.
• Share media folders on a read-only basis (do not allow others to write
to the folders.) unless recording to the folders.
• For maximum security, consider a network attached storage device
dedicated to entertainment and media.
