    skybox f3/f5 wifi not working with superhub

    i have skybox f5 with official wifi dongle and latest firmware(23/1/2013).the box picks the dongle up fine but it just will not connect to my vermin superhub no matter what i try. has anyone got it working with the superhub?
    i tried a different wifi router an old netgear 824 and it worked fine on that router but i want continue using the superhub if possible. anyone any ideas how to get it to work?
    thanks in advance

    someone else with a kryptview cable box connected to super hub and it had problems ,he was told to add a router and it worked as box was wired to router which was connected to super hub.may have problems with ip addy connecting super hub.

      thanks for your reply. just tried another wifi router a d-link that i had from vermin before the superhub and that also works fine so its got to be an issue with superhub and f5 wifi. but for future reference the netgear 824 and d-link work fine with f5 and official skybox dongle but not vermin superhub

              all day and i have cracked it. changed the security to wpa2-psk[aes] BUT also changed the wifi channel number(in the superhub) to 6
              and that worked so anyone having problems connecting the skybox f5 with small official skybox wifi dongle(?5.75 from the bay) to a vermin superhub do as stated above.
              i have only had the f5 for a day been use to the blade bm700s since they came out but iam well impressed for ?54.99 cannot fault it for that price. 1080p picture quality is good no probs with imputting cs lines. one in every room me thinks .
