Troubleshooting:
If you are having trouble connecting your TiVo Wireless N Network Adapter to your network:
• Make sure the adapter is within your router’s wireless range.
• Check the various wired connections (power cords, Ethernet cables, etc.) and that your
router is on and functioning properly.
• Try repeating the setup steps.
• If you have trouble connecting to your router using WPS, try confi guring the adapter
manually using the setup wizard:
1. Reset your TiVo Wireless N Network Adapter to its factory default settings by using a
paper clip to press the Restore Factory Settings button on the bottom of the adapter
until the power LED turns amber, then release. The adapter will restart with its factory
default settings.
2. Connect the adapter to your network-enabled computer using the instructions starting
on page 13.
3. In a web browser, go to 192.168.10.1 and run the setup wizard. If after you run the
setup wizard the adapter is still unable to connect to your wireless network, check the
following:
• Make sure the correct Network Name (SSID) is selected from the list of available
networks (the network name is case sensitive and must match exactly).
• If your network uses WPA or WPA-2 security, make sure you are using the same
passphrase used to connect other devices (note: the passphrase is case sensitive).
• If your network uses WEP, make sure that your security credentials match those set
up on your router.
• Update your adapter’s fi rmware.
Go to www.tivo.com/wirelessn for information on how to update your adapter’s fi rmware.
• If you’re changing your TiVo service connection from a phone line to a network connection,
go to TiVo Central, then ‘Messages & Settings’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Phone & Network’, and choose
“Use network instead”.
• Make sure your Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol (DHCP) address is correct.
If your adapter’s LEDs are showing solid and indicate a secure network connection but your
TiVo DVR still won’t connect, go to TiVo Central, then ‘Messages & Settings’ > ‘Settings’ >
‘Phone & Network’ > ‘Change Network Settings’ > ‘Get automatically from a DHCP server’ to
make sure you’re using the correct DHCP address.
Reconfi guring your TiVo® Wireless N Network Adapter:
In order to reconfi gure your adapter, it must fi rst be reset to its factory default settings. To reset
your adapter, use a paper clip to press the Restore Fac tory Settings button on the bottom of the
adapter until the power LED turns amber, then release. The adapter will restart with its factory
default settings. Restore Factory Settings
