Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause / Solution |
| If you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem: | Confirm that a Wi-Fi or Ethernet wired-connected PC can access the internet (i.e., can browse the web) using the same network.
Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio. Check that your firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. Some access points may be set so that only equipment with registered MAC addresses can connect to them. This is one possible cause of the Internet Radio being unable to connect to the Wi-Fi network, and the Internet Radio display will show Bad ESSID or key. To overcome this problem, you will need to add the Internet Radio’s MAC address to the list of allowed equipment in your access point. The Internet Radio’s MAC address can be found using the menu <Information Center ->System Information -> Wireless Info > MAC address>. You will need to refer to the guide for your Access Point to enter the Internet Radio as an allowed piece of equipment. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If your wireless network name (ESSID) is ‘Hidden’(a setting on the wireless access point), then you can either turn on the name, or you can manually enter the name into the internet radio and media player, ENTER <Configure -> Network -> Manual Configuration-> Wireless -> Enter ESSID>. Confirm if the network is encrypted, e.g., requires a WEP or WPA key, then enter the network name. |
