    skybox wireless dongle

    Hi guys, wandering if anyone can help

    My main skybox has always been connected tom my router using wired connection.
    Now thinking of a skybox in a 3rd floor, whereas the router is on the 1st floor (so 2 foor difference, however the distance isnt that big as it is a modest terraced house!)

    Will I have any luck with a wireless connection? (I wont be using this TV a lot so not bothered if channels take a few seconds to clear etc.)
    Or am i wasting my time?

    Can anyone recommend (with links) any wireless dongles to buy?

    I dont want to spend the money on the box and the dongle to find out it was a complete waste of time so thought I'd get some info first.

    Thanks!

      Thanks mate. Homeplug seems like a better option, albeit a bit more expensive.
      I like these, great reviews http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0084Y9N3...M4T39ZGG&psc=1 thanks

          If you want to try out a cheap wifi dongle first, then it needs to be one that uses the Ralink RT 5370 chipset.

          I have used this one with no problems with my F5s:-

            Home plugs all the way. Have 5 in my house and all run very well, even when I'm downloading and kids on PS4 and Netflix, as well as all devices on WIFI.
