• Still within the Advanced mode, choose IP Settings and Enter. If the network somewhat automatically assign the addresses, check and ensure that the DHCP is on. If not, turn it on and provide the projector’s Gateway
• Address, IP Address, and Subnet Mask when needed
• If you don’t want the IP address and the SSID to appear on the standby screen (of the network), set the mode for IP Address and SSID Display to off
• When you have done tweaking the settings within the Wireless LAN section, go with Esc
• Choose Complete and then Enter. Choose Yes, and Enter again so you can save the setting

  Press the projector’s power button. This action would make the device to beep and you will see green flash of power light. Wait for around 5 seconds, and the light will stop flashing. If it turns into solid and continuous green, your device is ready. Now you can connect it to any device that you want.
