It all sounds very familiar! Nice little earner for Humax, a dongle around twice the price of a lot of the competition and no chance of a wireless connection either....

If I plug the dongle into a computer, I have no problem choosing an encryption key; this issue only applies with the 1000S.

The problem seems to be that the HB1000S does not accept encrypted Wifi connections. I created a guest network with a shorter (8 character) encryption key as suggested but was unable to connect whatever encryption method I tried. However, an unencrypted Wifi connection did work without problem...

My dongle has the correct chipset and is from Humax itself!

Since the dongle has a WPS button I thought I'd try connecting by that method (my router accepts both WPS-PBC and WPS-PIN), but to no avail... has anyone actually managed to make a wireless connection with the HB-1000S?

I don't think it's a timing problem, because I'm always prevented from adding figures after I reach 16. What I find strange is that I am not asked which type of encryption I want to use.... is one of the less secure forms of encryption limited to 16 digits perhaps?

I just connected a humax wifi Dongle to my hb1000s and it is immediately recognised. When I enter my 20 digit wpa2 code, the box appears to only accept a maximum of 16 digits. Anyone else experienced the same issue?
