I've only recently purchased a 1000S.
Having bought a big Panasonic TV, and a Panasonic Blu-ray player at the same time - (both of which connected to my home WiFi instantly), I'm very disappointed to learn that the Humax doesn't come with WiFi built-in, despite being a simple and cheap thing to achieve at the design phase.
I also feel slightly conned, that this issue wasn't flagged up in any of the advertising blurb. Had it been, I wouldn't have purchased this Humax product.
With the necessity to connect to the internet being such an important part of so many the box's features, and WiFi being so widely used in the home now days, I don't think it's unreasonable to have assumed that built-in WiFi would have come as standard.
However, I'm stuck with it now.
I wish to use a wireless dongle to connect, and have purchased an Edimax EW-7711UMn. I can't get the 1000S to see my network, though.
I notice that other forum members have successfully used Edimax products, but most seem to be the EW-7711UAn (not the "Mn").
I've spoken to Edimax (yes! spoke live, to a manufacturer!), who say they need to know which chipset the 1000S uses, in order to tell me which of their dongle's will work. I've sent 4 emails to Humax support, and have had no replies whatsoever - not even an acknowledgement, which is poor, so say the least.
I've also written to Humax, and once again, have had no reply.
Can anyone tell me if they've had success with the same dongle as me, and if so, what they did to make it work?
Also, can anyone tell me the chipset, or (administrators perhaps?)please find out from a company who won't let their customers talk directly to them, which chipset is fitted to the 1000S.
Even those with the EW-7711UAn - did you just plug it in, or did you have to configure it before it worked?
I do not wish to use homeplug adaptors.
ANY help much appreciated.
Thank you, in anticipation.
Sykes.
