    Hello buddy,


    If it's not a option to run a Ethernet cable from you router/hub to where the second box will be you will have to consider using a wireless adaptor or homeplugs. Vu have a wireless adaptor that can be bought in various places or there are plenty of alternatives,tenda is pretty good for the money also netgear have a pretty good adaptor although can be pricey.

    If connecting to the Internet is the consideration, then there are a few options for you. If you have any free space for another wired connection to your router then you can use homeplugs. You could also try a WiFi bridge. There are a number of USB wifi dongles that work. If you can use homeplugs - then probably your best bet, and second best the Wifi Bridge - both available from our forum sponsor.

    i have the home plugs, yhey are spider homeplugs, witch are supposed to be very good, have tryed every thig trying to get a connection, but nothing, they are both pluged into main soccets not ex leads. tryed turning off modem for few mins and rebooting modem still nothing?????????

    2 things - have you managed to get the plugs working with other devices? and if so, have you entered the network settings (device setup) of your receiver to ensure that the receiver is using DHCP, and if not - that it has the correct IP address assigned? Have a read of the manual for your homeplugs to see if there are any additional security/paring procedures that need following as well.
