Using the Shared Storage 43

Considerations for home media networks

• Some data may not be available for access for up to two (2) hours after

being copied to the Shared Storage Drive. To obtain immediate access

to these media ﬁles, click the Refresh button located in Web UI.

•Take a survey and note all of the wireless devices in your household

(e.g., radio’s, stereo’s, speakers, phones, cell phones, microwave

ovens, alarms, etc.).

•Use of a hand held WiFi detector will help determine strength and

weakness of WiFi signals in your home.

• Be suspicious of any wireless devices in the same general area and

remove them from the WiFi paths of your routers and media players.

• In some cases, ﬁrewalls may need to be disabled and re-enabled.

•Most wireless devices broadcast a wireless frequency by default.

Check the documentation of your wireless media players for

conﬁguration (WEP) settings.

• Check that your wireless router (WEP) security settings will allow

detection and connection of new devices.

•Try moving your media player within a couple of feet of your wireless

router for conﬁguration and connection.

•When conﬁguring and detecting wireless devices, keep an Ethernet

cable handy to hard wire the devices together for diagnosis.

• If you continue to have problems with your WiFi connection dropping

off line, consider hardwiring the devices with Cat5e Ethernet cabling.

• If you’re still having detection issues, reset all network devices by

physically unplugging them from power. Power on all routers, switches,

the Maxtor Shared Storage Plus, computers, and ﬁnally media players.
