When you say 'set the same password on the Humax and switch it off' is there somewhere else I can enter my wifi password
Hi, sorry jumped the gun with switching it off and missed a bit, obviously after rebooting the router enter the password on the Humax after the router has had time to sync properly, see if it connects, if not then power cycle the Humax.
Whether the Humax retains the password or not without establishihg a connection, I don't know however; it'll become pretty obvious after the reboot. The important thing here is the power cycle on the Humax, a proper reboot which should completely reset the state of the Humax wifi adapter in the box.
We don't have access to the operating system so there's no other place to fix the password except via the gui/screen.
Clutching at straws now, you may want to change the SSID on the router and reboot, worth a punt. Also worth checking, after checking for latest router firmware, is a factory default reset on the router however; make sure you have all the necessary logon/connection details for your ISP, some pick it up automatically others require manual input.
Try the simple things first and testing each time, rebooting the Humax properly, factory resetting the Humax without format - take a note of your schedule, factory resetting the router. My router shows other networks and which channel they're on, e.g. presently 6 others on channel 1 available where I live and on my router I can change the channel to an empty, less congested, one.
Unless you've been tweaking lots of different things in the past, I'm guessing a simple power-cycle/reboot on the Humax will solve it, if not location which is where devices such as phones, tablets and some laptops can measure router signal and also just as useful become a hotspot and if placed beside the Humax will prove whether the Humax can connect to the device and if so whether the Humax can connect when the device is in the same location as the router. If the Humax can't connect when the device is beside it then I'd suspect a faulty Humax wifi adapter.
clearly a lot of playing about needed until you get it to work, once you have; work backwards to find what breaks it. Let us know either way please as it'll help others.
