I need help

I have the Sky mini dongle

I am trying to connect to the Skybox

I have changed the settings in the router (Netgear DG834g) to WPA2-PSK(Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key)

When I go into the Wifi settings on the Skybox, WiFi manager is greyed out. The power light is on

On the screen it says Current Network Interface: WiFi, but device NOT FOUND, Please plug in!!!!

I can get the dongle to connect to my Sky HD box but not the F5

What can I do to sort it?

hi m8, the way my m8 has set his up is by putting the ondemand box next to his f5 then connected an Ethernet cable from the back of the f5 to the ondemand box and that works for him, same sort of thing

I have the On Demand Mini, it doesn't have an ethernet port, only mini USB that powers it and also connects it to the Sky box

Get one of those ethernet bridges I posted in Dets other thread - works like a charm!!
