FAQ
My password is in this form: “••••••”. What do I need to type now?
You can find the Remote Support password in your player’s advanced settings in the Security tab. The password is hashed for security reasons if the password is in this form “••••••“. You must type the not-hashed password you have set in the past. If you do not remember the Remote Support password you have set in the past, you will need an Ethernet cable to bring the player back Online.
How do I change the Remote Support Password?
The player needs to be online to make this change. If you do not remember the password you have set, re-type a new password and click “Save.” You will notice a ‘Configuring’ message at the bottom of your screen. After that message disappears, try to initiate the WiFi Wizard again and type the password you have set.
How do I add a hidden WiFi network?
After logging into the wizard, if the wireless network is hidden, it won’t appear after a scan. You can press F2 on your keyboard and add the hidden network manually.
I cannot see the WiFi network in the scanning list
- The player is not able to reach the specific wireless network. Move the player or the router/access point closer to each other.
- The specific WiFi network is hidden.
