The Correct dongle is around ?5 anyway but some reports say its a little hit and miss and most recommend either Hard wired ethernet or if that is not possible home plugs

It is best to use the SkyBox wifi antenna. They are around ?5 and work very well.
I have two F5 boxes running with these wifi antenna, they work great. Just plug in and off you go. Dont forget to activate wifi from the Network setting.

Would have to agree with Digicon I have a few Skyboxes wifi connectivity just isn't consistent enough.The official dongle prob cheapest option, you may get device not found when trying to connect with others.Tp -link used to work but it seems skybox have made so modifications to limit this. Some will swear wifi is fine equally as many not,personally in latter group .The 2 options given by Digicon are the way to go.
