Select the name or your wireless network from the list.
   
   
   
   
7. The Security Type should be detected from the network itself, if it's not correct though you can select this option and then select the correct Security Type from the list.
   
   
   
   
8. Select Password, then using the on-screen keyboard type in the password for your wireless network (Please note: To confirm and save the details use the Yellow button).
   
   
   
   
9. Select Apply at the bottom of the screen.
   
   
10. The Humax will then attempt to connect to your wireless network, if successful you will see the message that the network is now configured, select OK to continue.
    
    
    
    

If you receive an error message of any kind you will need to go back through and ensure that the security type and password are correct, and also that your Humax is not too far away from your wireless access point. If you continue have a problem please see Humax Wireless Troubleshooting Tips.
