722 USB Wifi

[mrbluehead]

I have a USB WIF adapter 802.11 b/g/n and when I plug it into my 722 I get the 850 message which says it's not supported. Any ideas?

Did you buy it from Dish? The only adapters that the receivers support are Dish's Netgear Wifi adapter. It is the WNDA3100 Version 2.

I didn't, but that is bogus! Thanks for the tip. Will it work through a USB splitter, that way i can keep my external drive hooked up at the same time?

Not 100% true. I bought my adapter from ebay. Same model number as the one dish sells, less than half the price.

Not all wifi adapters r supported. I purchased same adapter dish sells from ebay for half of what dish sells it for and no shipping.
I am using a powered usb hub off the rear usb port for the wifi adapter and the usb cooling fan. EHD is plugged into front usb port.

I don't think you can have the wireless and external storage on the same port on the receiver.

You can if you are using a powered USB Hub.

You can if you are using a powered USB Hub.

He didn't specify so I thought it was the safest answer, thanks for clarifying though.

You can use a powered USB Hub. I am using one now. Works great.

I continue to get a DHCP failure error on my 722. I'm using the WiFi adapter I purchased from Dish. The problems just recently started to occur. Any suggestions?

I got mine from Amazon.

Reboot ur router. I am currently using an older router I usually need to reboot every couple of days. Had a Smoothwall Express set up that worked like a charm. Ran 24/7 with no problems until the hd went dead. Gathering what I need to rebuild can't wait.....

I have a D-link wireless bridge DAP-1522. I connect to my 722K then via an Ethernet cable. It has 4 connections so I also have my Blu-Ray player connected so I can stream You Tube, Hulu Plus ect. Works well for me, as I use my rear USB connection for the Sling Player and EHD connected via the powered USB hub.
