I have set up the MF2900 as a wireless router which my desktop can connect to wirelessly to access the internet. I am using a MF2501 in the living room to boost the signal so I can stream video from the desktop to the TV via a Snazio 1350 media player.

The snazio says ‘connection very good’ so I know that it is picking up a wireless signal but doesnt seem able to ‘see’ any files on the desktop – it says something about trying to ‘wake up’ the PC – but it is fully awake at this point. Is there anything I need to do with the MF2900 to allow other devices access to my desktop to stream files?

The fact that the desktop can access the internet through the MF2900 suggests that the MF2900 is working correctly. I turned off all firewalls, spyware and even the virus protection temporarily to see if they were causing the problem but this didnt solve the problem.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Just a quick check…what is the LED status on 2900 and 2501? If they are connected to each other, the third LED on each of them should be green. When passing data, the third LED (wireless antenna icon) should be flashing green.

Another check, try to replace the Snazio Media Player with a PC, can you access Internet?
