is skybox m3 compatible with vonets wifi bridge?

I know the vonets will not work on the f3 but can anyone confirm whether it works or not on the m3.

why doesn't it work on the f3 ?? ......it should really work on anything with a lan port sean ...as long as it's set up properly

I've tried it on the f3 with a few different firmwares as well as both usb powered and mains powered and can't get it working. Think I also read somewhere else that they don't work with the f3

usb dongles r very good m8

[seanmckeown]

I use the usb dongles but have a lot of disconnecting and timeout issues. Is there a firmware that has solved this or is it just a common feature?

Guys,
just to let you know, the Vonets does work with the Skybox F3. Once you have set the vonets up on your pc, connect to your F3, in network settings turn off Wifi & change to Ethernet enabled. Let F3 reboot & wait. Takes a few mins but it will connect.

However, I will say that the connection strength is not as good as using the official Skybox WiFi USB but the Vonets does free up the USB slot for recording if you power the vonets via mains.

I have tried a Vonets bridge with Skybox M3 and 2 different Skybox F5S receivers. It does NOT work on any of them. I confirm that I choose the correct network selection. The same Vonets bridge works perfectly on Openbox S10 and Spiderbox HD7000.
