How Can I Set-Up My Slingbox Wirelessly?

• Is there any possible way to make my Slingbox work if my computer is all the way on the other side of the room from the Slingbox? Do I have to run a wire all the way around the room? Can I do something wirelessly?

• Answer:

  The Slingbox cannot wirelessly connect to your home network by itself. However, you can connect the Slingbox to an existing wireless network and use your wireless laptop around the house. There are a couple of ways to connect the Slingbox to a wireless network: 1. Use wall plug bridges, which use your existing in-home electrical outlets to connect devices to a network. These wall-plug devices also known as HomePlug or Powerline bridges are easy to set up and use with the Slingbox. You'll need two wall plugs to connect the Slingbox to your network: connect one to your Slingbox and one to your router. IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, it is strongly recommended that you connect the wall-plug bridges directly to a wall outlet. Do not connect them to a power strip or extension cord. 2. Use a wireless bridge and place it next to your Slingbox so the Ethernet cable that comes with the Slingbox connects to the wireless bridge. Connect the bridge to your router, following the instructions that come with the bridge that you use. Set up the wireless bridge to work with your existing wireless home network before using your Slingbox. It is recommended that you test the bridge where you plan to use the Slingbox. Wireless networks vary in signal strength from location to location. http://portal.knowledgebase.net/al/6625/9428/article.asp?aid=151068&c=6625&cp=9734&cpc=eu2xkjWWR8t0XNRaLVhY
