For info: I connected the humax to the wifi extender and it picked up the humax static ip address 192.168.0.9 and gave a description of humax. So I think it would work from that point. I used an ipad app to display that. Back in the lounge the ipad app identified the ip address but there was no...

Dear Trev and BH, I didn't intend to insult your network knowledge. I just thought you were trying to solve Humax issues and not the world's problems of networks as well! I'll test the one wifi hop to see if that works just to more closely identify the linking problem. Unfortunately that only...

I can now ping the the foxsat with a wired connection. I can also read its mac address off a bit of software on my wife's ipad. Guess the problem is now out of your hands. Can you recommend a good 'network problem solving' forum?! Thanks for all your help.

Well it has connected in the past via a homeplug but was was very flaky connection. (Hence the wifi idea) Anyway, can I move the Humax without moving the TV as well? Will I be able to see what I am doing from my PC on the Humax. I guess you will want me to ping the static IP address I set up...

Yes. They both have this format of address. Incidentally, BH said I should temporarily move my Humax. I don't understand. Where to? Currently the wifi adaptor is connected to humax via a cat5 cable and is indicating a strong wifi signal. (My laptop connects easily to the wifi adaptor either...

The link to my foxsat is cat5. My router is 30 metres from the fox sat so I cannot try a cable. I have set the foxsat manually to 192.168.000.009 and ping from my pc. Response 'Ping request could not find host 192.168.000.009'

Excuse my ignorance. but how do I do that? I feel I can set the static info on the humax via the manual configuration menu. But what values should I set please? Also, how do I ping the router from the humax. thanks for your help.

I am trying to use a netgear universal wifi adaptor to connect my humax foxsat to the internet via my router. The wifi signal from my router goes to a netgear extender before it reaches the universal adaptor. When I use my laptop with the above set up all is well with a very strong signal...
