You need to use the correct wifi dongle, you cant just use any old dongle, it has to be the one the box supports...

Like this one...

My friend just asked me try it out for him. This dongle I have looks like a good one by reading the box but by the looks of it,it wont even register in the box. You think it maybe just not compatible then?? As I thought maybe I should be doing something else other than just sticking it the box...

As Nibblitz said you need the correct WIFI Dongle for the
F3 - F5 box as the drivers are preloaded into the firmware.
