    How do I get it to work? If it doesn't can someone recommend a good one because my last one kept cutting out. One for around 20 pounds would be fine.
    Anyway I got a vonets wifi bridge vap11g for my skybox f3 and I can't get it to wwork could someone tell me how with literally baby instructions in case I missed something and btw if I have a ip such as 122.122.0.1 on the skybox f3 is that 122.122.000.001 or something else? Any help is appreciated, tthanks my router is a virgin super hub 2 if that makes a difference
    thnks
    oh and I got the vonets working on my laptop but when I plug it into my skybox f3 nothing happens and my channels are still scrambled

    in short the Vonets won't work properly if at all with skybox. Try and get a refund ,get some homeplugs and you'll be fine

      As long as its working on your laptop, it should work on your F3. The F3 should be set to wired connection for a Vonets using the USB to from the box to power it.

          I did that and it didnt work, also does it have to be powered via the box? I plugged into the wall via a USB plug

            USB mains adaptor should be ok.

            Is your DHCP set to ON
            Is your Network set to Wired

            Homeplugs can be a bit pricey, I use them without any problems and daughghter uses Vonets.

            If you want a reasonably pried Homeplug set look here:
