Configuring a wireless Ethernet bridge
Make sure DHCP/Auto IP (automatic network
addressing) is enabled on ALL your network devices
(Wireless Access  Point, PCs).
Note: Nowadays the functionality of a Wireless Access Point
and a router are mostly combined into one box. If this is not
the case, the installation may slightly differ from the
instructions below.
&Enable DHCP/Auto IP on ALL your PCs.
You can check this on your PC with the network
identification tool. See Tools, Network Utility on the
supplied CD.
If DHCP/Auto IP is not enabled, see Annex 4, p. 14
to enable DHCP/Auto IP on your PC.
éEnable DHCP/Auto IP on your Wireless Access
Point, see the user manual of your router.
Preparing your network
&First check and write down the settings of your
Wireless Access Point.You need the SSID,WEPkey(s) or WPA key(s).
Note: It is possible that your WEP or WPA keys are
hidden.
éTosimplify the configuration proceduretemporarily
remove the security of your wireless network (if
enabled). Consult the user manual of your Wireless
Access Point to make the following settings:
• Switch on the SSID broadcast.
•Switch off wireless security (WEP/WPA keys).
• Switch off MAC filtering.
Note: Also switch off the wireless security (WEP/WPA keys) of
your wireless PC driver.

Configuring the wireless Ethernet
bridge
&Disconnect your PC from your network.
• In case of a wireless USB dongle, remove the
dongle from your PC.
• In case of an integrated wireless network adapter
(e.g. laptop PC), disable the network adapter.
• In case your PC has a wired connection, unplug the
Ethernet cable from your PC.
éConnect the wireless Ethernet bridge to your PC.
“Consult the user manual supplied with the wireless
Ethernet bridge to configure your device.
The following settings need to be applied:
• Password (see access point documentation)
Note: Do not change any passwords at this time.•Infrastructure (access point) mode
• SSIDname of your wireless network
• DHCP/Auto IP enabled
• Security encryption disabled
If your PC can connect to the Internet using a web
browser,the wireless Ethernet bridge is configured
correctly.
Notes:
After configuring your wireless Ethernet bridge you may
need to wait a while before the connection is active.You
may even have to restart the bridge.
 How to restart the bridge, consult the user manual of
the bridge.The user manual will also explain the
meaning of the different indicators ( LEDs) on your
bridge and howthey should behave after powering the
bridge.
 If you don’t succeed to browse the Internet using your
wireless Ehternet bridge, please contact the retailer of
the bridge (instead of Philips).
‘Disconnect your wireless Ethernet bridge from the
PC and connect it to the NETWORKconnection at
the bottom of your TV.
(Reconnect your PC to your network.
Testing the wireless Ethernet bridge
&Make sure the wireless Ethernet bridge is connected
to the NETWORKconnection at the bottom of
your TV.
éSwitch on your TV.
“See “Testing your connection” on p. 9.
More details on configuring the
recommended wireless Ethernet bridges
can be found on the Philips support
website: www.philips.com/support

Resecuring your wireless network
Also see Annex 2:Wireless network security, p. 12.
&Consult the user manual of your Wireless Access
Point to apply its security setting according to the
details you wrote down earlier.
• Switch off the SSID broadcast.
• Switch on wireless security (WEP/WPA keys).
Note: If you don’t have your WEP/WPA keys you will
need to create new ones and apply them to all wireless
devices connected to your wireless network.
éDisconnect your PC from your network.
• In case of a wireless USB dongle, remove the
dongle from your PC.
• In case of an integrated wireless network adapter
(e.g. laptop PC), disable the network adapter.
• In case your PC has a wired connection, unplug the
Ethernet cable from your PC.
“Connect the wireless Ethernet bridge to your PC.
‘Consult the user manual supplied with the wireless
Ethernet bridge to configure your device according
to your current wireless network settings.
If your PC can connect to the Internet using a web
browser, the wireless Ethernet bridge is configured
correctly.
Note:After configuring your wireless Ethernet bridge you
may need to wait a while before the connection is
active.You may even have to restart the bridge.
(Disconnect your wireless Ethernet bridge from the
PC and connect it to the NETWORKconnection at

DO
• Viruses, spyware and other malicious programs can
undermine the security of your network. Use the
appropriate software to protect your PC from
these threats.
• Change the default passwords for your network
devices. Leaving these at default makes it easy for
an outsider to gain access.
Note: If you change passwords, write them down and
store them in a safe location.
• Use a router or a Wireless Access Point with
Network Address Translation (NAT) or a firewall.
• In a wireless network, enable the highest WEP key
level that your hardware provides for. Upgrade
your hardware, if possible. If you do not protect
your wireless network, all data from your PC might
be accessible to, for example, your neighbours or
passersby.
• Switch off SSID broadcast on the Wireless Access
Point.
•Position your Wireless Access Point away from
windows and towards the centre of your home.
This decreases the strenght of the signal outside
your home.
• Some access points can control access based on
the unique MAC address of the network devices
trying to connect to it. See the documentation ofyour network devices to retrievethe MAC
addresses.
For the MAC address of your TV, see Annex 3,
Manual Network Installation,View Network
settings, p.13.
DON’T
• Don’t rely on radio transmission range limitations
to secure your network.
•Don’t use WEP/WPA keys and passwords that are
easy to guess.
• Don’t use passphrases to secure your wireless
network as incompatibility with other brands of
wireless network devices mayoccur.
Annex 2 : Wireless network security
Attention
Since wireless computer networks use radio
signals, it is possible for other wireless
network devices outside your immediate area
to pick up the wireless signals and either
connect to your network or to capture the
network traffic.
Consult the user manual supplied with your
wireless Access point or wireless Ethernet
bridge for further information.

192.168.123.xxx or
10.0.0.xxx
•
Subnet mask: you are prompted to enter the
subnet mask address of your network.
Enter the same subnet mask throughout your
network, e.g. 225.225.255.0
Annex 3 : Configuring your network settings manually
DHCP/Auto IPor automatic network
addressing is a protocol used to automatically
connect networkdevices to a network. Please,
refer to your router or wireless access point’s
hardware instructions to see if this is
supported.
Static (or fixed) IP address: This is an IP
address that your TV will always use to connectto your home network.When DHCP/Auto IP is
not available, you can set a static IP address on
your TV.
A
Subnet maskis used to define a subnet
which is separated from all other networks by a
router. The subnet mask indicates which part of
the IP address is on the local network, and
which must go out through the router.
Attention: If you have problems or questions or if you feel you don’t have sufficient knowledge about PC 
connectivity and PC networking, please contact your PC or TV retailer to assist you.
