    USB dongles

    So Ive just tried turning it off at the mains, and after turning it back on there is no change to the settings.

    USB dongles

    It worked when I initially set it up, found network and needed password etc. I think I might have even got onto Iplayer. Next morning it didn't work so I unplugged the dongle and switched it from the back to the front (something that has worked with the PC in the past) and it connected...

    USB dongles

    Thanks again Ezra, Its good to know that the extension to the USB will not effect the signal strength as it should really help with the PC. The TV unfortunately has a built in wifi erm, thing. I've just ordered an extension from Amazon and will pick up a sieve from a pound shop in the week (ive...

    USB dongles

    Ive just read more closely into the inssider score. The "link score" from my laptop is 54, but 2 maybe only 1.5 meters away where the humax is it has dropped to 41. would a usb extender help? would it lose signal in the cable if I got a really long one?

    USB dongles

    thanks for the reply. Um this is odd, I just lost my wifi to the laptop for the first time in ages and went to check the inssider screen, now I'm on channel 5! I do have one or two quite technically knowledgeable customers (they have "for a joke" changed the name of the router in the past). I...

    USB dongles

    Hello EP, I used the Inssider last night and found that my network was "g" on channel 8 , went from 6-10 and that there were 2 networks overlapping also on "g". There were another couple of networks on "n" but they didnt over lap (from the name I think they are BT openzone). Could you help me...

    USB dongles

    nope, all numbers as drunk customers need it relatively easy. I'm happy with the way this performs as a pvr so I will probably stick with it (got caught up in a forum discussion and lost concentration for the first 30 minutes of Salamander...just went into the playbar and took it back to the...

    USB dongles

    Right now I have a laptop, media center PC and a samsung TV all happily running off my wifi. The only device that wont connect is the Humax "connection failed. check your settings and try again". Ive tried the dongle in both USbs and done a couple of turning it off etc. Is this a "fault" with...

    USB dongles

    I have no idea BH, I really am not techy. How would I find out and change if necessary? A google search I suppose but if I could beg your indulgence.. I noticed on another thread that you recommended a TL-WR702N for similar problems. If I understand it right, this little box will take the...

    argg! lost my reply. Thanks for yours. Ok I moved the dongle and a couple of restarts which worked the other night. Detecting 48mbps (should be plenty)....attempt to connect to TV portal..."cannot connect"...now detecting "0bps". It seems that in trying to connect to the tv portal throws...

    USB dongles

    I run a pub and live above it. Because of this I use a business account ISP with the router in the bar for the customers use, mainly. I'm using the supplied dongle and it is intermittent. Tonight I have "cannot connect to the internet" after a couple of unpluggings/repluggings so I assume that...

    Any one else disappointed with the picture?

    Thanks for the replies guys. Ive actually managed to drag a decent picture out of the hummax with a little fiddling, maybe even better than I was getting with the Samsung. Ive turned everything off other than the mpeg filter which is on its lowest setting. Ive dropped the contrast and upped...
