How to Network Your 1st Generation WDTV… Wireless!

It’s finally here! The long awaited tutorial on how to network your 1st Generation WDTV with a wireless connection. This is a rather complicated topic and, as such, I only had time to cover getting your wireless connection setup and getting an IP address on your unit. Once you are finished with this video, use the link at the bottom of the page to go to the next tutorial on sharing vidoes, music and files over your network.

GET THE FILES FOR THIS TUTORIAL FROM HERE:

WDTV Wireless Software Pack

GET THE REQUIRED HARDWARE FROM HERE:

D-Link DWA-140 Wireless-N USB Adapter (I got a great deal on mine ($16.50) USED from here)

(This tutorial and the accompanying files WILL NOT work with any other adapter, I will try to add some additional support later on, but just getting all of this into video was hard enough.)

Finally, once you successfully finish up this tutorial, take a look at the next tutorial on how to share files and folders over the network. This will enable you to stream videos and music.
