Netgear Adaptor to Sky HD+ Box

Van_Dammes_Mullet

Hello all,

I have a Netgear WNCE2001 Wifi Adaptor which i am trying to connect to my Sky HD+ box, in order to activate Sky's Anytime+. My router is an Orange Livebox (in a different room) --- no matter what i do, the Netgear will not configure.

I have pressed both the WPS button on the adaptor and 'Button 1' on my livebox, I have also attempted to configure by connecting the adaptor to my laptop - again no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Will the livebox connect to other wireless devices?

I use homeplugs myself but the netgear looks to be a neat solution if it works.

Don't you need drivers for the Netgear WNCE2001 Wifi Adaptor loaded in your Sky box?

When I looked a year or so ago about using a wifi adaptor with my network enabled Sony tv, it soon became clear that the only wifi adaptor that would work was the one sold by Sony at an exhorbitant price. It was not possible to load other drivers into the tv, I was told.

Of course, things may've changed since then.

Thank you for your replys, the livebox at present connects to a couple of laptops and an Xbox within the household all wireless, all have encountered no problems.

When I tried to configure the adaptor by connecting to my laptop, my laptop couldn't connect to the internet -- any ideas ?
