I think any usb dongle will do, make sure you use the front port...c

Thanks tried with the rear port don't think this box has a front port but didn't work

The openbox/skyboxes have a built-in driver for the Ralink RT5370 chipset, so you need a dongle that uses this chipset.

I have used this cheap one which worked fine for me:-

I've ordered one from eBay it said it was for this box
Do these boxes work well with wifi?

[Hadron]

A lot of users have said that their boxes didn't work too well over wifi & recommend home plugs, but I had no problems at all with the dongle in my post above.

Like a lot of wifi connections, it depends on the distance between them & the amount of wifi interference in the area.
