[. . . ] Consult the manufacturer's website or your router instruction manual for more details on how to update the firmware. Note: Even if you have recently purchased your router or access point, the firmware may still be out of date. Always double-check that you have the latest firmware, regardless of how long you have owned your wireless equipment. Changing wireless networking channels Within a wireless networking standard, individual channels exist that enable multiple wireless devices to use different portions of the available bandwidth. If your neighbor has a wireless network, you might both be using the same channel. This can cause both of your wireless networks to slow down because they have to accommodate traffic that does not 59 Media Center Extender Appendix A Troubleshooting belong to them. Changing your router to operate on a different channel may improve your performance. To change your wireless networking channel, use the webpage administration utility for your router. Consult your router instruction manual for more details on changing channels and other advanced configuration options for your wireless network. Network setup changes One of the more difficult modifications to make to your home wireless network can also have the most significant impact on overall performance. For example, you may have a work Computer in your office, a family Computer in your living room that stores all of the media you want access to, and a Media Center Extender in your master bedroom. If your broadband Internet access enters your house in your office, you'll likely have both the family Computer and the Media Center Extender connected wirelessly to the work Computer, which is connected directly to the router (at the access point). But this type of configuration is not supported because it causes streamed video and other media to travel over the wireless network twice and can result in a seemingly unsolvable network performance problem. Consider more complex modifications to your home network, such as changing the point of entry for Internet into your house. If you have a phone jack near the Computer in the living room, perhaps the DSL or cable modem and router can move there, and the office Computer can connect wirelessly to the network. This configuration change allows the family Computer to connect to the router with wired Ethernet, placing significantly less stress on the network for streaming media playback. Another option to consider is moving your wireless access point or router to a different room in the house to reduce the overall wireless distances or obstructions. Perhaps it is reasonably easy to run a longer Ethernet wire between your family Computer and the access point, but still locate it in another room. Record TV shows at lower quality levels If you cannot solve your network performance problems, one option to consider is setting Windows Media Center to record TV shows at a lower quality level. The lower recording levels for Windows Media Center use less storage, and it requires less network bandwidth to stream 60 Media Center Extender Appendix A Troubleshooting those programs to your Media Center Extender. Experiment by trying successively lower quality levels when you record programs until you get more reliable recorded TV playback through your Media Center Extender. Note: Recording shows at lower quality levels does not affect the playback of live TV on your Media Center Extender. Live TV is always sent from the Windows Media Center-based Computer to the Media Center Extender at the best quality level.
