    Looking for a wifi solution to these boxes:

    Skybox F3

    Openbox X3

    Openbox s11

    What options are out there?

    F3 has wireless option and U can use a usb WiFi adapter.

    S11 requires a WiFi bridge such as the vonets one

          which is a lot easier to get at,but you can't record at the same time since there is only 1 usb port.A serious flaw.They should have put support in for a usb hub instead.

              that is because on your router you more than likely got wep/wpa2 password. you have to choose one encryption method. wep or wpa or wpa2. you cannot have a combination of both
