    WI-FI usb for OpenBox F5S

    Hi everyone. I bought myself an OpenBox F5S which I setup correctly with my gift on sunday. Unfortunately the wife let me run an Ethernet cable from the wireless router in the bedroom to the OpenBox in the livingroom. Ive read that I cannot just go out and buy any old WI-FI usb as it has to be compatable with my OpenBox hardware.
    Can anyone recommend a good cheap WI-FI usb for the F5s.
    Thank you very much for your time. Really appreciate it.

    You may probably be better off with a pair of Ethernet Homeplugs or equivalent as Openbox and WiFi connections are a bit hit and miss as some of the posts on here will show.

      If you are willing to gamble with ?3.25, you may want to give this one a try. It worked for me.
