INTRODUCTION

What Is the iStream HD Adapter?

Thank you for purchasing the Intellinet Network Solutions iStream HD™ Wireless

Media Adapter. The iStream HD is the ideal solution for connecting your Web TV

(IPTV), gaming console or other Ethernet-ready media device to your wireless

home network. The iStream HD eliminates the need to locate your gaming system

or other entertainment devices near an Internet connection, and because it uses a

Cat5e / Cat6 cable to connect to your device, there’s no need to use up one of

your valuable USB ports. Setup is incredibly easy, and the iStream HD works with

all gaming systems, as well as all IPTVs, DVRs, Blu-ray players and other such

devices with an Ethernet port.

The iStream HD allows you to enjoy a completely lag-free online gaming

experience from your Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 or Wii system, or watch streaming video

in full HD (1080p with 5.1 stereo surround) on such services as Netflix, Hulu or

YouTube via your Web-ready HDTV, Blu-ray player or other media device. Even

better, the iStream HD is quick and easy to set up.

RJ45 Network Port

The iStream adapter is equipped with a high-speed network port, which is

designed to connect your Internet-ready TV, Blu-ray player or gaming console to

the iStream adapter. You can use the included network cable for that purpose. Of

course, should you require a longer connection between the iStream adapter and

your device, it is no problem to use any standard Ethernet network cable that

meets or exceeds the Cat5 specification. If you are not sure about this, don’t

worry. Any standard network cable purchased from various retailers or online

shops will work just fine.

WPS Push-Button

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a computing standard that attempts to allow easy

establishment of secure wireless home-network connections. Created by the Wi-Fi

Alliance and introduced in 2007, the goal of the protocol is to allow home users

who know little of wireless security and may be intimidated by the available

security options to set up the encryption method WPA2, as well as making it easy

to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases.

So, what does this all mean for you? If your wireless router is a newer device,

there is a good chance that it is equipped with a WPS push-button, in which case

you are in luck, because adding the iStream adapter to your network will just be a

matter of a couple of minutes. If the router is a little bit older and does not

support WPS, it will take a little bit longer.

Power On / Off Switch

When it’s not in use, you can power down the iStream adapter to save energy.

Since the connection to your wireless network is re-established in less than a

minute after startup, there are no downsides to powering down the iStream

adapter when it is not used.

Power Outlet Connector

The iStream adapter plugs directly into a power wall outlet. It supports 110V 60

Hz for U.S. and 230V 50 Hz for European power outlets. The plug type will vary,

depending on your location. The illustration above depicts the U.S. version of the

iStream adapter.

Next, you’ll be looking at the main screen of the iStream HD interface.

This page provides information about the operational status of the device. It shows

to which wireless network the iStream HD adapter is currently connected to, which

firmware or runtime code is installed and other information.

The page also allows checking to see if a new firmware version is available for

your iStream HD adapter. Simply click on the “check for new version” link to do

that. Note that your computer must be connected to the Internet for this function

to work properly.

Advanced Configuration Menu Options

The Quick Setup pages allow connecting the iStream HD to a wireless network.

Refer to chapter “Installation -> Manual Installation” for details.

Item Description

Fragment Threshold The fragmentation threshold is used to set the maximum size of

a packet that a client will send. The smaller the maximum sizes,

the better the reliability of the wireless connection — but the

performance is likely to decrease. Leave this value as 2346

unless you have a very poor wireless signal. Lowering the value

can help improve the connection in such cases.

RTS Threshold In case you experience poor wireless performance, you can try

using values between 1200 and 500, and below 500 in severe

cases. The default value is 2347, and that should normally not be

modified.

Channel Width Select the wireless channel width. 40MHz provides better

network speed for 802.11n wireless clients. “Auto 20/40 MHz” is

the recommended value.

WMM Enable or disable Wireless Multi-Media. When enabled, this

device will give priority to multimedia-related network

applications so they will have better performance. It is

recommended to leave this option enabled.

If you wish to deactivate the LEDs of the iStream HD, you can do so here. You

have the choice of either turning off all LEDs or all but the Power LED.

Password settings:

By default, accessing the iStream HD advanced configuration does not require a

password. To prevent someone from overwriting some settings, you can enter a

new password here.

Current Password: Enter the current password (default = 1234) here.

New Password: Type in the new password.

Re-Enter password: Type in the new password again.

Management IP:

The default IP address for the iStream HD is 192.168.2.254.

The IP address of the adapter does not necessarily need to be in range of the

wireless network. The IP address range has no impact on the function of the

device. However, if you wish to adjust the IP address to make accessing the

configuration interface easier — e.g., because your wireless network range is

192.168.0.xxx — then you can make changes to the address here.

Click “Apply” to save the settings.
