WIRELESS CONNECTION
WIRELESS...
The Bright Box 2 supports:
2.4GHZ (B,G and N) for maximum device compatibility and range.
5GHZ (N and AC) for better wireless performance and speed.
Your wireless network names and wireless password can be
found on the ‘KEEP MEE’ card or on the back of the router.
To connect to your wireless network:
1
If you’re using a wireless adapter,
make sure it’s installed correctly and
turned on.
2
Open the wireless software on your
device:
Windows
- click the network icon in
your device’s notification area - if
using Windows Vista, you’ll need to
choose ‘connect to network’.
Apple Mac
- click the ‘AirPort’ icon in
the menu bar.
Other Devices
- the list can usually
be found in the settings menu next
to ‘Wireless’, ‘Wi-Fi’, or ‘Manage
Connections’.
3
Look for your wireless network
name in the list of networks. You
might see two wireless network
names:
If you see your wireless network name
that begins with ‘5GHz-‘ (for example
5GHz-EE-1a2b3c) this means your
adapter supports 5GHz wireless N or
AC. Connect to this network name if
it’s visible.
If you can only see your wireless
network name that looks something
like ‘EE-1a2b3c’ (without the ‘5GHz-’)
connect to this network. This means
that your wireless adapter supports
2.4GHz wireless N or B/G.
4
Select ‘Connect’ or ‘Join’ on your
wireless network and when prompted
enter your wireless password.
5
Great, your device should now be
connected to your Bright Box Wireless
Router and the Internet.
If you’re having problems seeing
the 5GHz wireless network that
begins with ‘5GHz-‘ in areas of
your house, you can connect to
the 2.4GHz network (without the
‘5GHz-‘ prefix) as an alternative.
