        I already own my USB Asus N10 wifi but it doesn't work with F3. I think u need a special sky f3 wifi dongle as I do believe it something to do with sky f3 driver inside? Don't know why Asus N10 doesn't work as I try on both F3 and F5 sky box but none of it will work.

                Strange, I try all USB wifi, Netgear N150, Asus N10, belkin N150 and it only work on all pc or laptop but doesnt work on Sky F3? Maybe bad firmware in the box for wifi?

                  u will need to check the wifi adapters have a ralink RT5370 chipset' that's what the skybox f3 uses

                    Am I right in saying that you plug one end into your modem and the other into your tv and you can watch sky in another room without the aid of another box cheers.

                        I got the Official Skybox one with the Antenna but couldn't get it to connect to my Router, It times out after I have put my router password in.
                        I've tried several things mentioned on the net but still no joy.
                        I've got mine connected with a Powerline now.

                                I'm going to order the box off e-bay tonight without the dongle and i'll try it when I get it.

                                Hopefully it works
