    Wifi-Bridge

    Hi guys:
    I just got a Vonet Wifi-Bridge to use on my second Dreambox dm500s upstairs in my house but up till now I am having no success using it to connect my dreambox to the internet. It will not connect at all. I tried to connect the wifi-bridge to the internet using my laptop and I get limited or no connectivity. I know that I am doing somethings wrong I just cannot put my hands on it. I am using the Vodafone Router. Please can someone explain how to correctly connect my box wirelessly. Thanks.

      Hi m8, try, go into router menu & re-boot your router or do a factory reset first then try re-installing wifi bridge.
      I had same problem, but as soon as I re-set router it connected.

      SOON, WE WILL JUST BE A NUMBER.

          Was it a Vodafone Huawei Hg 566a router that you had this problem m8? I did a restart of the router but no joy. I am connected to a dreambox downstairs that I am using at the moment but if I reset the Router is it gonna affect my network settings or not.

              My router is a Belkin N1 MIMO. It took me ages to connect the wifi bridge to my network. But after a factory reset to router, wifi connected straight away.

              If you do a factory reset on router then you will have to
              re-connect everything again to your network.

              If you just power off & on router this should still keep your connections.

              Also make sure in the router options select b+g+n modes.

              What error/fail message are you getting?

                  I get the "limited or no connectivity error. you cannot connect to the internet" and then when I do a connection repair it says Windows cannot complete the repair because it cannot renew IP. Also I check the properties of Wifi-Bridge connection by right-clicking connection and I see that the wifi-bridge has a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 and a weird IP address. that is not even on my network because I am on 255.255.255.0 subnet mask
