Going Wireless: What a “Connected” Flat Screen TV can do for you

August 6th, 2009 By: Lauren

Clutter is something we can all live without. And as more and more “connected” devices are being released each month, we have increasingly varied options when it comes to reducing the cable clutter in our home theaters. Everything from HDTVs to Blu-Ray players, from surround sound systems to gaming consoles, is being upgraded to be compatible with wireless technology. This is good news for those of us who would like to see a smooth, streamlined home theater without a mess of cables winding along the floor from speaker to TV to AV receiver to wall outlet.

To begin your journey into the wonderful world of wireless home entertainment, you have to set up a home network. This involves setting up a modem to access the Internet through your Internet Service Provider, either through cable, phone line or satellite. This modem is then attached to a router, which is the central hub that connects all wireless devices. For more information on how to configure your modem and your router, contact your local ISP.
