HD51 4K Mutant HD51 STB HD 4K Box needs updating Image Please advise ?

Can you say why you need wi fi ? Whats wrong with the powerline? Is it the location of the box ie too far from router?

Yes I am also confused why he cannot use powerline adapters and wants wifi, there is obviously a plug socket near router and reciever to power them and even if they are single sockets you can even use multiplug adaptor if needed.

I am leaving virgin and going to another company and want router to be at centre of house rather than just in front room next to TV, and rather than running a long ethernet cable about 5 metres long around and under carpet wondered if I could try the wireless usb route is it possible

I have two power lines already but they are so I can connect downstairs Asus router to Asus router used as access point in my loft/office

Ok get dongle as above but can you check this on box, menu plugins red button systemplugins go to end and you should see wireless lan. If that's installed you are good to go.

When you get dingle just plug in and do the rest. the driver will be installed with image, I tested it just now and got 102mb on 2.4 and 231 on 5ghz. with a zgemma h7s and pli9

If you get a problem you have to say exactly what you tried. I can get it working but I know the workrounds and just go slow.

Why do you need box hooked to internet??

So just plug dongle in and it should sort itself out or do I need to look for anything

does it say wireless lan?? go back in this thread and read from here. You have to configure it. watching rugby now.

1. Connect the USB Wi-Fi adapter: Plug the adapter into one of the USB ports on the Mutant HD51.
2. Access the network settings: Navigate to the network settings within the Mutant HD51's interface. This is often done by going to the main menu and selecting "Network" or "Setup".
3. Select Wi-Fi: Find the Wi-Fi option within the network settings and select it.
4. Scan for networks: The Mutant HD51 should scan for available Wi-Fi networks.
5. Choose your network: Select your desired Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks.
6. Enter the password: If the network is password-protected, enter the Wi-Fi password.
7. Connect: Once you've entered the password, the Mutant HD51 should connect to the network

then this

1. plug in dongle. 2., menu setup system expert settings network and ok, 3. you should see 2 entries, wlan and lan. 4. on wlan press green. 5. select scan wireless networks and press ok and wait, 6. your wireless network should appear. 7. it may show 2 bands, select 2.4 and use interface make green, toggle, dhcp make green. 8 Encrytion toggle and make it wpa/wpa2 or same as router. 9. encryption key. press text button and keyboard pops up, enter key ie passwrrd and green to save. 10/ press ok and wait. 11. do network test. = bingo.

Then go to plugins, press green and if they download its working.

Have you got the idea now?

But you have to go to plugins and see if they download. And you can select the bit test network. On the ASUS you can rename each network to show which is 5GHZ and 2.4.

Sorry last bit you mentioned above about plugins green what do look for ?

When you go to plugins and press green it will download the latest plugins and you will get a message saying downloading. It proves box is hooked to internet.
