Just arrived. Had lot of trouble because WiFi not secured. Turned on WEP2 and got connected. Scanned channels. Added to guide then said wanted to update Tablo which I did.
Now cannot get a connection at all.
Cannot figure out how to do via web app as it only offers to set up over WiFi. How do I do that connected to LAN? None of my computers have wifi.
If you Tablo is connected to the same Ethernet network that your computers are, just use a browser to access my.tablotv.com, and select to connect to the device shown. It will also let you reset the wireless network parameters from the same page.
I have tried both methods. Only one that connected was android but after it scanned stations and started to download guide it disconnected now cannot establish connection again. The plugged in ethernet cable and tried via my.tablo.com and there is no indication it can even see my device.
The other thing is to switch the Tablo to use ethernet, you also need to reboot it.
You can reboot it by briefly pressing the reset button on the back of the unit.
How do I switch to etherenet if I cannot log in anywhere? Is there supposed to be a switch on the device or does the connection of a LAN cable automatically put it into lan mode?
Not while trying to access via WiFi. It says in setup to NOT plug into ethernet if setup via wifi.
Perhaps I need to reset and start over. I want to use ethernet to my switch rather than WiFi and just let the wifi to tv work over LAN to router rather than direct to Tablo
I’m confused again with what you’re trying to accomplish.
Do you want the Tablo connected to the network via ethernet or wifi?
By the way, the Tablo is gonna communicate with your router no matter which way it connects to the network.
It’s just another network device that every other network device can potentially see.
So, if I understand you correctly, you want the Tablo to be connected to the network via an ethernet cable?
If this is true, then all you need to do is…
Plug an active ethernet cable into the Tablo network port.
