WiFi no longer working after Openbox V8S update

[openboxpls]

Hi everyone

I have my Openbox V8S working, with WiFi internet (using a dongle from eBay)

However, today I decided to upgrade the firmware with "upgrade by network" and picked the Openbox_V6S_V8S... option (the other two were V8SE and Skybox)

However, now the WiFi dongle doesn't light up, and it says WiFi device not found :(

Do I need to flash an old version? Can I do it via USB, and where can I find it?

Thanks in advance

You might have to reset the wifi option, (Press Active, then Yes) & put your wifi code back in or maybe you have already done that.
If that's not the issue you can reload the Openbox Firmware from here, (includes instructions), http://eopenbox.co.uk/firmware/
