I have Enigma2 installed and cannot find the menu option for Wireless lan does this mean i need a later version of Enigma2?
Mine is Enigma: 2008.11.29

Thanks

no enigma2 is the type of image not the name of it.. you need to know the name of your image like Jade or Nabilosat

Sorry for being a dick in my previous post, i seem to understand what opsmonkey is asking now. problem is still do not know the answer.

I have gone to menu > Information > about as per westkill instructions: reads as follows:

Release 390 which guessing is the Gemini Project Image
Then lower down
Image: 2008.11.29
Enigma: 2008.11.29

Hope someone makes sense of it?

westkill
21st August, 2009, 10:35 PM
yes it would be gemini version 3.90
ive never used a wireless dongle lol
so not 100% sure how to do it
i can only guess if you use a newer image and have it in the dreambox on the first boot and go through the wizard network setup
unless someone has tryed it :)

Thanks for the reply Westkill,

There is a number of things wrong with the Dreambox at present which i am trying to get to the bottom of,(easer said than done). As far as i can evaluate i do not have a clone, but reading the posts if i upgrade to the latest Gemini image i may have more issues.
Hopefully someone may be able to let me know what release level of software i need for Wireless LAN, but i think your right,
i will need to upgrade?

Just bought a TP Link wireless dongle from Microdirect.co.uk for ?14.69,have got my DM800HD working on 28.5e,using the original Gemini image as supplied but still can't find any reference to installing a WLAN.On my receiver the dongle is not activated,the active LED is not illuminated and the dongle does'nt get warm,so assume there is no volts being supplied to it.Anyone got any decent ( none rude)suggestions???Cheers Chas.

So here's another update,the DLink dongle seems to work OK and recognises my network,but it won't talk to my router.And I think I know why!!Installing all your normal settings in the setup is OK,BUT these settings apply to the box,NOT the dongle.Remember that the dongle is a device external to the box and not part of its system,so any settings applied in the box won't apply to the dongle.If anyone knows how to gain access to the box system setup for the dongle,I and I guess a lot more people would like to know!!For the present I'm using a pair of Power Line Adaptors.Hope this makes sense and helps.Cheers Chas.

Devilfish (or some one) can you please clarify what image this guide is based on as it would appear on newer images the Wlan feature is not available and i would like to try it even if it means rolling back to an early image
Thank you for your good work

Hi

I am having problem connecting my dream box, i have got Static Ip address. I have gone into the DB and followed the steps for connecting to the network, i have put the details in and turned of DHCP. It connects to the router network, but when i do a network test it fails to register the Ip address. WLAN connects but the other box are all crosses......
When I took the DM to my cousins it worked all fine, he has standard broadband connection. I think this is the issue, if so can it be resolved or do i need to go to the standard broadband provider instead of Static????

Please help its doing my head in..........

what provider you with ? wired you cant just simply connect to router as would normally,, what about other stuff on your wireless you got laptop , phone connected etc ??

cant you just go into router firmware and turn off static IP ?
