how to set up wireless dm800se?

[cboyer]

hi peeps just got my new box its a sim210 and im running SIM2 backup uk OpenPLi-4.0-beta-dm800se #ssl84d

when i bought the box i paid an extra 5 quid to add wireless but i aint got a clue how to set it up wireless?

i have been using google and trying to read up but they all seam to be talking about usb dongles etc?

any advice would be hugely greatfull as once i got this sorted then everything is working perfectly as love this image etc

does it have one of these on it ??



if so go to network setup change the lan setting to wireless put the wireless key in { make sure you put wpa or wpa2 depending on what your router is set up for )

i have that wifi dongle on dm800se with openpli 4.0 , it works but its not fully compatible , glitches , the signal is out of 72, when it should be 100, i used same wifi in normal dm800 with openpli 3.0 and works perfect in extact same location , and gives signal out of 100, so dont think the drivers are right in openpli 4.0 for this dongle

invest in home plugs mate best way out if wifi is poor

Buy TP Link 500MBPS Twin Nano Powerline. at Argos.ie- Your Online Shop for .

thats my local argos look closer to home

that image has all the wifi drivers removed, as per the details in the thread, you can re-download them , or maybe a simple software update (menu-setup-software update) may re-install them,
NOTE !

You can use the update function, but if the PLi team switches to a new driver or ssl you may end up with a non functional box (which is an easy fix).
or as above, pick up a cheap set of homeplugs, seen them for as little as ?15, and gives a solid wired connection,

I believe you can add additional plugs to your network, however there is no industry standard so you will need to check the specs as some manufacturers plugs aren't compatable with others

thanks a lot mate i might try and do an update then 1st see if it works if not i can always reflash the image then buy an extra homeplug

did an update and seams fine it has changed my bootup screen but it is smart . I will set up wireless soon just waiting for little lad to watch in the night garden

:edit still doesnt have the wireless lan plugin so just going to buy a new homeplug

the update dont make any difference, when using same stick on Vix 3.0 image on vu solo you can download wifi drivers for difference usb sticks and it works perfect on that image, shame vix aint made for dreamboxes
