    dm800 clone F5D8055UK belkin n+ wifi usb

    lads,
    got spare F5D8055UK usb n wifi dongle and have searched for way to make it work with dm800.heard nabilosat were going to put the driver in new release of image but cant find it.
    obviously n's faster than g so thats why id want it but for iks im guessing most(all?)of you would say to ethernet or mains ethernet(powerline) it to the router....
    the chipset it uses is rt2870 which i have read (translated) page in google land somewhere is possible to make work on dm800.
    ideally though i want to both serve the iks and watch movies from my server on the box wirelessly..
    thoughts?
    cheers

    lads sorry to bump an old as hell post but...
    been through the rt2870 threads and tried and tried and tried and just couldnt get to work.
    FURTHERMORE,cant even get tl-wn321g (with rt73-i presume?) working..
    i have a clone dm800 bl72(not sure sim (2.0?...)) running nabilosat 0.12(ANY idea of the next release - to fix bugs - like no wifi 'n' support and the narration being default on hd channels???).
    i have tried the rt2870 chipset belkin in this thread title... the buffalo(also rt2870) nfiniti n("smallest in the world"blah blah blah) and the TLWN321G (only 'g' wifi) as previously mentioned.
    i know it can be done but i cant do it.and that rattles me.
    believe me i wouldnt ask had i not tried EVERYTHING(many many many hours) to do it meself.i had spoonfeeding tw*ts so willl never be one myself.
    all the best
    b

      wifi

      hi people i have had (many)....dm800hd running on wireless via the tplink dongle, in order to enable this function you will need to buy the compatible dongle with right chipset (search forum...) and then enable this in kernal module and then plug dongle in and reboot box you will then need to go into network setup and enable wireless lan,enter wireeless security and there you are.

        theres no option in nabilosat kernel modules to toggle on/off.so this is a generalization.thanks for the input though.

          update:
          i got the dongle working by installing pureflash to flash and using barry allen to use nabilo 12.then one day it just randomly stopped working and i could then not get ti to work again(after a week of trying).i think clones are made so cheaply that the harware bits and pieces fail intermittently..making troubleshooting next to impossible with one problem then another causing similar symptoms..
          ALMOST enough to make a man actually pay for tv!
          hehe
