Just bought the wi-fi dongle with a very brief installation guide. Inserted the dongle. Humax found my wi-fi OK. Accepted the password. Then after "connecting to wi-fi network " ran for a few minutes I got the message "connection failed check your settings and try again". What settings and how do I check them?

Looking at the internet settings the security shown on the screen is WPA-PSK(TKIP). Looking at my router details, it says the security is WPA-WPA2(TKIP+AES). However on the screen the security type option is greyed out. I can only enter network name and password. I'm stuck!

Is there anybody out there?
The other possible problem is the my password contains dashes (hyphens) . there is no option to enter this character. I have tried using the underline character and leaving out the dashes altogether. Still no success.| Mon 17 Mar 2014 12:30:57 #3 | -

The Humax has problems with anything other than alphanumeric characters in WiFi passwords (eg spaces won't work). I can only suggest changing the password on the router.

Still no success.Is hyphen (dash) not the symbol two to the left of the underscore on the on screen keyboard?
