Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR
®
Wireless Digital Media Player MP115. The
Wireless Digital Media Player MP115 brings the media capabilities of your personal computer to
the comfortable confines of your living room. Now, all the pictures, movies, and music stored in
your computer, as well as streaming Internet radio content can be accessed right from your
television. You can opt for the convenience of current wireless networking standards or the
security and reliability of good old-fashioned wires. NETGEAR’s friendly user interface and
intuitive navigation puts all of your digital content at your fingertips.
The MP115 works with your computer in a client-server system. The MP115 is the client that lets
you browse and play media on your television. The media files are stored on your computer (the
media server) and “served” to the MP115. A network lets the two devices communicate. The
network can either be wired (using the 802.3 Ethernet standard) or wireless (using the 802.11g or
802.11b standard).
