USB Flash Drives or Media Players
You can connect up to two USB flash drives or a media player such as an iPod to a USB port on
the front or rear panel of the Digital Entertainer Express.
The Digital Entertainer Express plays files stored in Windows (FAT, FAT32, NTFS), Macintosh, or
Linux disk formats. It does not matter if you set up the music player on a PC or a Mac.
Note: Be sure to use USBv2 devices with your Digital Entertainer Express. The limited
bandwidth of the older USBv1 devices might interfere with the performance of
your playback.
To play media with a USB connection:
1. Either use a USB cable or directly insert your USB product to the USB port on the front or rear
of the Digital Entertainer Express.

Broadband Internet
Your Internet connection speed is determined by your Internet Service Provider, as well as the
connection speed of the sites to which you connect, and general Internet traffic. ADSL and
cable modem connections are asymmetrical, meaning they have a lower data rate to the
Internet (upstream) than from the Internet (downstream). A typical residential ADSL or cable
modem connection provides a downstream throughput of about 1 to 3 megabits per second
(Mbps). Newer technologies such as ADSL2+ and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) increase the
connection speed to tens of Mbps.
•
•
Wireless
Current-generation 802.11n wireless routers such as the NETGEAR WNR854T RangeMax
NEXT Wireless-N Router provide wireless data throughput of up to 300 Mbps using
technology called multiple input, multiple output (MIMO). MIMO uses multiple antennas to
transmit multiple streams of data. The use of multiple (internal) antennas also provides
excellent range and coverage. With the introduction of the newer WPA and WPA2 encryption
and authentication protocols, wireless security is extremely strong.
Powerline
For connecting rooms or floors that are blocked by obstructions or are distant, consider
networking over your building’s AC wiring. NETGEAR’s Powerline HD family of products
delivers up to 200 Mbps to any power outlet and connects to your devices and network using
standard Ethernet cables.
Note: You need at least two Powerline HD adapters to make this type of connection
in your network.
Data transmissions are encrypted for security, and you can configure an individual network
password to prevent neighbors from connecting.
The Powerline HD family of products can coexist on the same network with older-generation
XE family products or HomePlug 1.0 products, but they are not interoperable with these older
products.
•
Wired Ethernet
As Gigabit Ethernet ports become common on newer computers, wired Ethernet remains a
good choice for speed, economy, and security. Gigabit Ethernet can extend up to 100 meters
with twisted-pair wiring of Cat 5e or better. A wired connection is not susceptible to
interference, and eavesdropping would require a physical connection to your network.

Assessing Your Speed Requirements
Because your Internet connection is likely to operate at a much lower speed than your local
network, faster local networking technologies might not improve your Internet experience.
However, many emerging home applications require high data rates. For example:
•
Streaming HD video requires 10 to 30 Mbps per stream. Because latency and packet loss can
disrupt your video, plan to provide at least twice the capacity you need, or add an internal hard
drive to provide “buffering” for your connection.
•
Streaming MP3 audio requires less than 1 Mbps per stream and does not strain most modern
networks. Like video, however, streaming audio is also sensitive to latency and packet loss, so
a congested network or a noisy link can cause problems.
Note: Actual data throughput varies. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and
network overhead, can lower actual data throughput rate.
Optimizing the Performance of Your Home Network
To get the best performance from your home network, you should optimize each portion of the
network, as well and place files in the network where they will get the bandwidth their use will
demand.
Wireless Performance (USB Wireless Adapter Required, Sold
Separately)
The speed and operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based
on the physical placement of the wireless router. You should choose a location for your router that
will maximize the network speed.
Tip: To find the best location, start the Network test (from the Supervisor Functions
screen) running on the Digital Entertainer Express, and then move the Digital
Entertainer Express and the wireless router. Monitor the Network test results to
determine which location maximizes network speed.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance
degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range and

The following list describes how to optimize wireless router performance.
•
Identify critical wireless links.
If your network has several wireless devices, decide which wireless devices need the highest
data rate, and locate the router near them. Many wireless products have automatic data-rate
fallback, which allows increased distances without a loss of connectivity. This also means that
devices that are farther away might be slower. Therefore, the most critical links in your
network are those where the traffic is high and the distances are great. Optimize those first.
•
Choose placement carefully.
For best results, place your router:
–
–
Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.
In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers
have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
•
•
Avoid obstacles to wireless signals.
–
Keep wireless devices at least 2 feet from large metal fixtures such as file cabinets,
refrigerators, pipes, metal ceilings, reinforced concrete, and metal partitions.
–
Keep the device away from large amounts of water such as fish tanks and water coolers.
Reduce interference.
Avoid windows unless communicating between buildings.
Place wireless devices away from various electromagnetic noise sources, especially those in
the 2400–2500 MHz frequency band. Common noise-creating sources are:
–
–
–
Computers and fax machines (no closer than 1 foot)
Copy machines and cell phones (no closer than 6 feet)
Microwave ovens (no closer than 10 feet)
•
Choose your settings.
–
Use a scanning utility including those provided with the NETGEAR wireless adapters to
determine what other wireless networks are operating nearby, and then select an unused
channel.
–
Turn off SSID broadcast, and change the default SSID. Other nearby devices might
automatically try to connect to your network several times a second, which can cause
significant performance reduction.
Network Bandwidth
As your network grows, it might consist of several segments of different networking technologies,
each providing different throughput. In planning your network, you should first consider which
devices will have the heaviest traffic flow between them. Here are some examples:

another room

Next, consider the throughput of your network devices. Where possible, use higher-speed
technologies to make the heaviest-traffic connections with no lower-speed bottlenecks in the path.
Figure 4-6
This illustration shows a sample network using multiple networking technologies. The two PCs
with Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet adapters have a gigabit connection through the gigabit switch
to the ReadyNAS Duo network storage unit with a gigabit connection. This connection should
allow for extremely fast access to large files on the ReadyNASTM Duo unit. The EVA9100
connected through a pair of Powerline HD adapters has access at the 200 Mbps speed of the
Powerline HD connection. This is fine for any of the media files it will use over this connection
and might be more suitable than running Ethernet cables to where the entertainment system is
located. Although any of the links in this example would be sufficient for high-traffic applications
such as streaming HD video, the use of older devices such as 10 Mbps Ethernet or 802.11b
wireless would create a significant bottleneck.

Media File Performance
Video playback can be resource intensive. To avoid pauses in video viewing, select hard disk
drives and network equipment designed to handle large files quickly. If you want to send video
over a wireless network connection, new wireless technologies like those found in the NETGEAR
RangeMaxTM products are good choices. Not only do they operate at higher speeds, but they also
sustain those speeds over greater distances.
File transfer speed depends on the following:
•
Hard disk drive speed
SATA hard drives can be any of the following speeds: 4,500 RPM, 5,400 RPM, 7,200 RPM,
10,000 RPM.
Tip: For best performance, separate your media into their own set of folders. This
maximizes performance of your PC and reduces the time needed to find media
files.
•
•
LAN connection speed
A Gigabit Ethernet connection through a gigabit switch provides the fastest LAN file transfer
speed and gives the best performance.
NETGEAR HD Powerline adapters provide adequate bandwidth without the inconvenience of
running Ethernet cables.
Wireless communication speed
–
–
–
802.11b (11 Mbps,) is not recommended for video.
802.11g (54 Mbps) is not recommended for HD video.
802.11n is not recommended for high bandwidth HD video. However, when using
802.11n, the 5GHz band is usually less crowded and will likely provide better
performance.
–
–
If many wireless networks in your area are sharing the same channel, this can slow the
speed of your wireless network. (The scanning utility built in to NETGEAR wireless
adapters lists all wireless networks operating at your location along with the channel each
is using.)
If any 802.11b devices are powered on in an 802.11g network, they can cause the entire
network to slow to 802.11b speeds.

Tips for Streaming Video
Use these tips for the best performance with streaming video or during file transfers to the Digital
Entertainer Express.
•
•
Use a wired LAN connection to stream HD video.
For streaming video, use no more than one wireless link. For example, do not wirelessly
connect both the Digital Entertainer Express and your computer with media to your router.
Replace one of these wireless links with a wired connection.
•
•
For playing music and viewing photos, wirelessly connecting both the Digital Entertainer
Express and the computer with media files should work fine.
With a wireless 802.11g connection, you can stream standard-definition video, music, and
standard-resolution photos reliably, although high network traffic and interference might cause
some audio/video interruptions.
•
•
You can use NETGEAR’s Powerline HD product with a wired connection; it supports all but
the most demanding HD streaming.
Upgrade to a Dual Band 802.11n router such as the NETGEAR WNDR3300. Use the less
crowded 5GHz band for video and keep your computers and other internet devices on 2.4GHz
bands.
•
improve playback results over wireless by using the hard drive to buffer playback.
Taking Precautions
Take precautions to secure personal data sent over wireless connections to your Digital Entertainer
Express. Also take precautions for monitoring content, if you wish to exercise parental control.
See the following sections for information about doing this.
Access and Network Security
Use care when sharing media, and set up security in your home network to protect your privacy
and prevent unauthorized access to your photos and media files.
When sharing media use the following precautions:
•
Share only the folders containing media files. Do not share your main hard drive or any folder
containing programs or personal data.

The server cannot be found in a
Windows domain.
If the PC where the Digital Entertainer for Windows software is running
is a member of a Windows domain:
1. Make sure that you are connected to the domain (either by being on
the same network, or by using a VPN connection), and then restart
folder sharing in Windows Media Connect.

software, and reinstall it using a local user account. Then set up
sharing with the Digital Entertainer for Windows software while
logged in with this local user account.
Media Does Not Play
Check to see if the file is protected. Windows Media Player 11 is required for Windows XP and
Vista users to play protected files. See the Microsoft documentation for these products.
Note: If you use Windows Media Player 11, place protected media files in one folder,
and use Windows Media Player to share only that folder. Then use the
Configuration Wizard to share all other folders.
Configuring Your Firewall Port Settings
The built-in Windows firewall opens ports to communicate with the Digital Entertainer Express.
For other firewalls, you might need to open these ports:

Recommended: Enable guest access on PCs that have a startup password. From the Windows
Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts, and enable guest access.
•
•
Manually enter passwords on your Digital Entertainer Express.
Remove the password from the main administrator account.
Macintosh OSX
Turn off the Macintosh firewall, and then select the sharing icon from system preferences.
1. Click Firewall, select Stop, and verify that “Firewall off” is displayed.
2. Select the sharing icon from system preferences, and select the Windows Sharing check box.
Make sure that “Windows Sharing On” is displayed.
Once the system is up and running, for better security you can configure your OSX firewall to
allow file access while blocking other network ports. For file sharing you must allow access
through TCP ports 139 and 445, and UDP ports 137 and 138.
Linux
You need to load and install a Samba server.

The Digital Entertainer Express expects to be connected to a hub, switch, or router using a
standard Ethernet cable. If you connect to your network using Ethernet, the link LEDs on the back
of your Digital Entertainer Express and on your hub or router should both be on. If they are not lit,
try the following:
•
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or
workstation.
•
Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.

Make sure that you are using a standard Ethernet cable and not a cross-connect cable.
IP Address
If the Digital Entertainer Express does not receive a valid IP address, try the following:
1. Verify that a working DHCP server is on your network. Computers on the network should get
IP addresses in the correct range.
If the Digital Entertainer Express is set to use DHCP and fails to obtain an IP address from the
server, it resorts to a default IP address of 127.0.0.1. You can use a static IP address if there is
a problem connecting to the DHCP server.
2. If you are using a wireless network, verify that the Digital Entertainer Express is associated
with the correct SSID. To display the SSID, follow the instructions in “Setting Up Network
Connecting to a Server
If the Digital Entertainer Express cannot find the correct server, try the following:
1. Verify that the Digital Entertainer Express and the PC running the Digital Entertainer for
Windows software are on the same subnet.
For example, you could use a subnet with IP addresses in the range of 192.168.0.x for both the
Digital Entertainer Express and the PC, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
2. For Windows PCs, run the Configuration Wizard to verify that the Digital Entertainer Express
and the computer can communicate. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs >
NETGEAR Digital Entertainer for Windows > Configuration Wizard.
3. For other systems, try rebuilding the server list. Press
Home, and select More > Supervisor
functions > Advanced settings > Servers and shared folders > Build network shares list. If you
do not see the server, check your network connections and router firewall settings, and try to
ping the IP of the Digital Entertainer Express.
4. Try accessing the server from other Windows-based PCs. If these PCs can see the server, the
Digital Entertainer Express will too.
