I have been running my HDR 1000S/500g on a connection to my router through two TP link connectors and the house main electric circuit. I want to connect it now to a good WiFi system I have in the house and wondered if it is possible and how to do it as there is no reference to WiFi in the handbook.

Hopefully member repassac will respond shortly.
Basically you need to turn off your router DHCP server and disconnect the wired connection . This should give you the manual setup options to enter the logon parmameters required.

The 1000S does not have built-in Wifi capability so I'm not sure how that will work.

A network access point might also work but little advantage over the current connection. A suitable dongle would be an alterative subject to match with the supported chipset. (Which I do not recall)

You can get the appropriate dongle from Amazon for about £12.

Can DaveE or anyone link to the 'appropriate dongle please?
It is a good idea to test your WiFi reception at the Humax location with a phone app to ensure reasonable reception.

That's where I plugged mine in, sorry couldn't upload more details, the dongle worked fine with my 1000hdr.

Great success, have managed to convert my HDR 1000s to WiFi quite easily and operation is greatly improved. Purchased the dongle from Amazon for £11-70 it arrived today .Removed cable connection.Switched Humax on. Plugged dongle into USB socket on front of unit behind plastic cover on right of Humax. Tv screen then, after a short delay, displayed all the WiFi signals available. Selected one I wished to use and input password, Signal immediately received and a great improvement on previous cable signal. All this in spite of not a mention of this facility in the original handbook and with the encouragement and assistance of some Humax Forum members, Thank you.
