OVERVIEW
The Wireless Video Bridge Technical Communication will cover all the aspects of Wireless
Video and the Wireless Video Bridge.
A. W IRELESS V IDEO BRIDGE
The WVB Gen2 is a second generation Wireless Video Bridge that is targeted as a direct
replacement to the WVB Gen1 with enhanced networking features.
The Wireless Video Bridge (WVB2) provides the ability to stream DIRECTV programming
from a Genie server to the Genie Mini (C41W or higher) client wirelessly.
The Wireless Video Bridge provides video distribution throughout the home without the use
of coaxial or CAT5 cables at every TV. The WVB2 creates a private network only accessible
to DIRECTV products.

FEATURES
Functionally, the WVB Gen2 is identical to the WVB Gen1 with the exception of the following
features:
A. 802.11AC SUPPORT.
802.11ac is the latest IEEE Wi-Fi standard which provides increased bandwidth and
additional throughput over increased range compared to 802.11n (on which WVB Gen 1 is
based). Increased throughput is required to sustain the level of video traffic required to
support more concurrent clients which are a feature of the HS17family of products with up to
7 HD clients supported or 2 Wireless 4K Clients and one Wireless HD client.
B. MOCA 2.0
MoCA 2.0 allows for increased frequency range and channel bandwidth, which leads to
increased throughput over greater distances in comparison to MoCA 1.1. MoCA 2.0 is also
backwards compatible with MoCA 1.1 and will therefore allow for operability with existing,
MoCA 1.1 compliant products.
C. W IRELESS REPEATER FUNCTIONALITY
The WVB Gen2’s ability to act as a wireless repeater indicates that the WVB Gen2 will offer
a wireless solution for extending the range of the internal WVB of the HS17
D. W IRELESS P ROTECTED SETUP
The WVB Gen 2 will contain an Add Client Button that will primarily be used with the HS17
eliminating the need to add the RVU Client through the “Add Client” Screen. If the user
chooses, they also have the option of adding a RVU client through the “Add Client” screen
just like the WVB Gen 1.

INSTALLATION
A. HOW THE W IRELESS V IDEO BRIDGE W ORKS
•
The Wireless Video Bridge Gen 2 (WVB2) is connected to the Genie server via the
SWiM/MoCA network.
•
The WVB2 acts as an access point for the C61W, creating the Wireless Video Network
for wireless clients (C61W).
•
The WVB2 delivers audio/video and the user interface wirelessly to the clients as if there
was a traditional coax network in the home, and this connection is different and separate
from the Wi-Fi connection to the customers Router.

1. Minimum Distances
•
The wireless devices require a minimum distance between each other to decrease
risk of interference. The following are the required distances.
•
HR54 or CCK-W
W and WVB2 must be a minimum of 4 feet apart
•
HR54 or CCK-W
W and Wireless Router must be a minimum of 4 feet apart
•
Wireless router and WVB2
WVB must be a minimum of 4 feet apart
•
WVB2
2 and Wireless Client (C61W)
(C61W) must be a minimum of 4 feet apart
Distance is physical distance NOT the length of the cable.
Concrete, Brick, Stone or other high density material can limit the range for
the wireless signal
For proper placement of Genie, WVB2,
WVB , Wireless Clients and Router a
Wireless Video Bridge Survey should be performed.
FIGURE 5: MINIMUM DISTANCES DIAGRAM
2. Maximum Distances
Version 1.0.0 12/16/2016
Page 15
User Manual –Wireless Video Bridge Gen 2
The WVB2 and the Wireless Client (C41W, C61W) should be placed no further than 80
feet apart and have no more than 5 internal walls between them. It is important to
recognize this is guidance and home construction will significantly decrease range.
Walls and other barriers can decrease the range and significantly impact the maximum
distances. Use signal strength to determine installation quality.
Below are examples of various barriers and how they degrade the signal and lower the
maximum distance from the WVB2.

C. W IRELESS VIDEO BRIDGE SURVEY (AKA BEACON MODE)
The WVB2 survey is important to determine placement of the WVB2 and Wireless
clients (C61W).
1W). As part of the initial WVB survey, the technician determines a central
location to place the WVB2
WVB to service the Wireless Clients (C61Ws).
1Ws). This is done by
determining the following:
•
Determine
etermine the Genie server (HR44/HR54)
(HR44/HR5 location
•
Determine the client locations
•
Determine the location of the WVB2.
WVB
The WVB2 must be installed in a vertical position using the permanently
attached foot/pedestal. If the WVB2 is lying flat on its side, it can have a
negative impact on the distance the clients can be from the WVB
WVB2.
Do not place the WVB
WVB2 on the floor as it may be easily knocked on its side.
The following is the WVB
WVB2 survey/Beacon mode procedure. This procedure covers both
new installs and upgrades.
1) The WVB2
WVB is not to be connected to the SWiM/MoCA network until
instructed.
2) Setup the wireless clients (C6
(C61W)
1W) in the location they will be used.
If the C41W, C61W
C6
is to be mounted behind the TV, it should be placed close
to its final mounted position as possible to fully verify signal quality from the
WVB.
3) Connect the wireless client (C41W,
C61W)
1W) to the TV and power
on. The
wireless client (C41W,
C61W) will boot up to the following “Connecting to
Video Bridge” screen. ((C41W, C61W
1W with older software will have a
“Continue” option,
op
and C41W or C61Ws
1Ws with new software will have a
“Connect Now” option
option).
). The user need not wait for this screen to display;
they may proceed wi
with the next step.
•
If the client signal strength is poor, the Connect Now/Continue
Now/Continue option is
disabled.

If the user selects Setup Instructions the instructions screen is displayed.
FIGURE 6: C41W SIGNAL STRENGTH SCREEN
4) Select the placement for the WVB
WVB2
Select a location for the WVB2
WVB based on the following factors:
•
Best location to provide GREE
GREEN
N LED to all wireless clients(C41W,
clients(
C61Ws)
(use 5 walls and 80 feet as the guide)
•
Access to the coax SWiM network. Do not connect the W
WVB2 to the coax
network yet.
5) Power on the WVB
WVB2 and observe the power up sequence. The WVB boots
up to a state referred to as ‘Survey mode’ or ‘Beacon
Beacon Mode’ where it
transmits a signal for wireless clients (C41W, C61W)
1W). The WVB boot
sequence is as follows:
•
WVB2 LED flashes BLUE during boot up.
•
The boot up takes approximately two minutes.
•
Once boot up has completed, the WVB
WVB2 LED alternates GREEN/YELLOW.
•
The WVB2
2 is now in Video Bridge Survey/Beacon mode.
Wireless Video Bridge S
Survey/Beacon mode works only on WVB2
WVB and clients
that have not previously been paired (factory fresh)) or client
clients that have been
reset to factory defaults.
6) The signal strength on every wireless client (C41W,
C61W)
should be
checked by ensuring that the Network LED is GREEN
Version 1.0.0 12/16/2016
Page 18
User Manual –Wireless Video Bridge Gen 2
•
If one or more of the wireless clients’ (C41W, C61W) network LED are not
green, the WVB2 will need to be relocated to an area that maximizes range
and minimizes interference. Refer to Troubleshooting section for more details.
•
If more than one wireless clients (C41W, C61W) will be installed and a
GREEN LED cannot be achieved on all wireless clients (C41W, C61W) the
technician has the following options:
•
Use a wired client (C41/C51/C61). Follow existing guidelines to install
the wired client if needed.
•
Use more than one WVB2. Choose a location for the first WVB2 that
covers most of the wireless clients (C41W, C61W) and choose
another location for a second WVB2 to cover the wireless client(s)
(C61W) that have poor signal coverage.
7) Do not proceed if the signal strength is marginal (yellow network LED’s on
the wireless client (C61W(s)) A yellow network LED on the wireless client
(C61W) indicates poor signal strength to the WVB2. Consider moving the
WVB2, adding another WVB or using a wired client.
D. WVB INSTALLATION
Once the WVB2 survey is complete and the optimal locations for the WVB2(s) and wireless
clients (C61W) have been determined, installation can begin.
1) If not previously performed, install the ODU/SWiM and run the coax cable to the
WVB location(s) (do not connect the coax to the WVB2 yet).
2) If not previously performed, install, update the software and activate the
Genie server
3) Connect the WVB2 to the SWiM/MoCA network (if more than one WVB2 is
used, connect all WVB2’s to the SWiM/MoCA network)
4) If WVB2 is not powered on, power on the WVB2. After a short delay (less
than 1 minute) the LED should be Solid GREEN. Note: The LED will be
solid BLUE if the Genie server previously had ANY clients (wired or
wireless) paired to it. If not solid GREEN or solid BLUE refer to
Troubleshooting section. (Full boot takes about two minutes).
5) On the Genie server verify OSD “A wireless video bridge has been found
and configured successfully”. Select OK to clear the OSD. This often takes
only 30 seconds however it can take up to several minutes.

Each WVB in the system should show ACTIVE.
8) Installation of the WVB2 is complete once all WVB2s appear ACTIVE on
the Genie server’s Video Bridge Status screen and all WVB2s have a solid
GREEN or solid BLUE LED. (This means that the Genie server and the
WVB2 are connected, even though you may not have a wired or wireless
client connected).
E. ADDING W IRELESS CLIENTS (C61W)
Once the WVB2 is properly configured by the Genie server, the wireless client(s) (C61W)
can be added. The WVB2’s network status light should be Solid GREEN or BLUE (if
previous clients were connected)
1) On the Genie server, go to “Add a Client” from the “Whole Home” menu and note
the PIN displayed on the screen. (These steps will change in Goliath and when in
Lenient mode or Full Client Tracking mode. See FE-TC D-088 Goliath/Flower

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR OSD AND DIAGNOSTICS
H. CLIENT S YMPTOMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
4. Wireless Client (C61W) Grey/Black screen no Banner
Technician Troubleshooting:
8) If the wireless client (C61W) network LED is Green, then follow normal
Gray/Black screen troubleshooting.
•
Change channels
•
Turn off the wireless client (C61W) for 15 seconds and then turn it back on.
•
Verify the customer’s TV is on the correct input
•
Verify cables and connection to the TV is good (including trying a different
cable and input to the TV)
If the LED is not Green, or normal Gray/Black troubleshooting does not resolve
then continue to step 2.
9) Run system test on the Genie server. Troubleshoot any error codes that appear
(see Genie error code table).
a. If there are no error codes, check the LED status light on WVB2.
b. If LED is not BLUE then see WVB2 LED status troubleshooting
c. If WVB2 LED is BLUE, then check LED status light on the wireless
client (C61W)
d. If LED is not Solid GREEN then see wireless client (C61W) LED status
troubleshooting
e. Extra steps for Technicians ONLY (The “Excellent”/”Good” text that is
referenced below is already in the Genie servers screens, however
they should not be used until the Genie Server has the Goliath
Software)
10) On the Genie Server go to Setting & Help >/ Settings > Info & Test > More
System Info
11) Scroll down to the Wireless Client(s) that is having the issue and look at its
“RSSI”.
12) If the RSSI does not show “Excellent” then troubleshoot the same as a “Yellow”
Network LED on the C61W”
Note: “Good” status is normally acceptable unless the customer is complaining of
intermittent issues. “Good” indicates that the Network LED is Green, but it might
be on the edge of going to “Yellow”. RSSI value of “Excellent” helps to ensure that
there are enough margins to overcome interferences in the customer’s home.
a. If internet connected, power-cycle the router.
b. Reset the WVB2
c. Reset the Genie server, and wait for it to boot up to video
Version 1.0.0 12/16/2016
Page 30
User Manual –Wireless Video Bridge Gen 2
d. If the client does not have LiveTV, reset the client, wait for client
network LED to turn Green and wait 2 minutes.
e. If not resolved, agents setup a service call
f.
If not resolved, Technicians:
If the server is connected to the router wirelessly (HR44 internal Wi-Fi/CCK-W)
then change to a BB-DECA, and refer to “Resetting a Genie with Clients” section
above. If still unresolved, escalate to FPR.
Agent Troubleshooting:
1)
Verify the TV is on.
2)
On the C61W, verify the front power button lights up solid blue.
a. If blinking Blue, there is a software download in progress. Wait 5
minutes
b. If no blue light, troubleshoot for Receiver Will Not Turn On.
3)
Channel up or down
4)
If video does not return, then turn the C61W Off, then On
5)

a. If the Guide appears, then Continue to Step 6
b. If the Guide does not appear, then follow the below to check
connections and Input
• Press the Input button on the DIRECTV remote.
1. Ask the customer to slowly cycle through the TV's video inputs.
2. If one input setting gives a clear picture with the Guide, advise
the customer to set the TV to that input for DIRECTV service.
• If using HDMI:
1. Turn the TV off and on to reinitialize the HDMI port.
a) If successful, escalate to NET -- noting the customer's TV
model.
2. Verify the HDMI cable is connected to the HDMI jack on receiver
and TV.
3. Disconnect and reconnect the cable from the receiver to the TV;
make sure the connections are secure.
a) This re-establishes the 2 way communication between the
receiver and the customer's TV.
b) If successful, escalate to NET -- noting the customer's TV
model.
4. Try an alternate HDMI jack.
a) Some TVs have more than one HDMI input; make sure to
change the TV input to match the alternate HDMI jack.
5. If there's an A/V receiver or any other device attached, remove it;
run the HDMI cable directly from the receiver to the TV.
6. Try using component cables (i.e., 10-pin Connector) with audio
cables and change the TV input to Component -- Offer Cords &
Cables if needed.
