vonets wifi bridge!!

[mickydibble]

ok the vonets wifi bridge works on the laptop im using it now, but not on the skybox f3 why i have installed new firmware with wifi that shows up and i select that but wifi manager not highlighted do that mean something wrong with th bridge or the firmware or what /

[seanmckeown]

i dont think it works on the f3. I havent tried myself but near sure i read somewhere that it doesnt work.

If im wrong and it does work, it would work if u have the wifi manager switched on, just go into network settings and change from ethernet to wifi then restart the box

May be there is a specific Vonet wifi bridge for each brand of sat reciever. Contact seller.
When I bought , my vonet, I specified it should be compatible with all DM boxes( mainly Dm 800 Hd and Dm 800 SE HD/SR4). The right type was posted to me.

have sent back now but will msg him saying what its for thanks,could work but i downloaded the software of the official site but as i said above the wifi manager was there but unselectable,which makes me think something to do with the channel list/firmwares...however i set up on a netbook which it works on that ??

ok im in the exact same boat , bought a SKYBOX F3 and gonee through all the set up with scooby snacks FW. I tried the Vonets WIFI on the pc and worked fine.
I then tried it on the SKYBOX altering all the settings but the "WIFI SETTINGS" set up page is greyed out and i can't select it to add my wireless network details.

does the vonet work with a SKYBOX F3 ?
Has anyone got it working ?
And if so , how ??
, its going back otherwise.

Hi, I have an Eaglebox 800hd, the vonets wifi bridge works ok with that stb.
What I have tried to do at work, is by using a wifi pointer vonets bridge and Eaglebox 800hd, I get nothing, wondering if the wifi pointer is compatable with the vonets bridge.

Hi Guys,

I had this problem I couldn't get it the vonets to work, my laptop found the vonets, highlighted it, pressed next but it wouldn't find my network, after much head scratching I finally went into my router settings via a web browser and realised that my router was using auto channel 13 (but the vonets only goes to 11) I changed the channel to 10 and bugger me it solved it.

I hope this helps, it maybe the same issue?

Guys,
for all of you having trouble setting this up remember that this is an ethernet bridge & not a wifi adapter so turn off wifi & change network connection to ethernet enabled instead of wifi & it WILL work
