    Skybox F5 HD wifi..

    I am not stupid when it comes to setting up the box but this time I am cattled. I am tryimg to set up wifi and have tested my Dlink wireless n usb mini adapter(dwa-140) on my laptop and it works perfectly but then the skybox won?t detect the stick when it is pluggedin,not even a light flashes on the stick,any ideas please.Is it the right usb and the box works ok with an Ethernet connection.....Ricky

    The F5 is not very good with wifi but try this:
    1.Make sure dhcp is set to on in network settings on your F5.
    2.On your router set the channel to something less than 6 if it is on a higher setting or on auto.
    3.Reboot F5, reboot router

    If this doesn't work and Ethernet cable not a option invest in home plugs.

        Mate don't even bother trying to use wifi on the F5 it is more trouble than it is worth. If you can not hard wire then invest in some home plugs
