    Default Wireless Internet Disconnecting From Skybox F5S

    Hey Guys,

    I have had a rummage around and not sure am finding what I am looking for. However still on the hunt whilst I have this post go live.

    I have had a couple of Skybox F5s seem to be dropping out of the internet connection. VM supply the BB and its a good mb. Boxes are set up wireless dongle, I know that hard wired is better how ever it is not possible as the router as it the other end of the room.

    One is set up with an aerial wireless dongle. The other is set up with another type of skybox f5s dongle that does not have an aerial.

    It appears that the connection keeps dropping out and disconnecting from the internet. The internet is all good on other devices.

    I read something about home plugs would this help the issue?

    Thanks
