I have got a Humax HDR-FOXT2 Freeview box and have recently bought a Humax W-LAN Stick (150N) to connect my box to my wireless broadband. I put the stick into the back of the box and followed the instructions in the box, but to no avail. I placed the stick into my Windows 8 PC and it would not pick it up at all. Can anyone shine a light on this or point me to the necessary driver update? Thanks.

Can you describe what happens with the stick in the Humax? Are you able to enter Internet settings? I take it you purchased the dongle from Humax?

I think drivers for third party hardware may take a while to appear. This is a link to Windows 7 driver RT3070 driver ; I don't know whether it will work with Windows 8.
