    Advantages of getting the USB WiFi option when buying this box?

    If i'm buying this box what are the advantages of getting the optional USB Wifi option of 'Wifi n 300mbps usb'. At the moment I have a Vu+Duo and I have it connected to my Router by ethernet (this allows me to connect wirelessly to the box).. I'm a bit confused really as to the benefit of the WiFi option (apart from the fact I can do away with the ethernet cable).

    Hi theo,

    If you can connect directly with the Ethernet cable, do so, it's much better/faster/stable than via Wifi. I'd say Wifi is just for people that are not able to have a cable to the box.

    Cheers.

    I wouldn't personally go wifi, to unpredictable. Hard wired like your Vu+ Duo is setup now is far superior.

    Vu+ Solo 4K with 1TB HDD, Dual FBC (Sat) tuners, 1x Hybrid DVB-C/T/T2 tuner
    Vu+ Solo 2 with 1TB HDD 'White Edition', 2x DVB-S2 tuners
    Mut@nt HD2400 with 1TB HDD, 4x DVB-S2 tuners
    Fixed 28.2E Technomate 65cm Mesh Satellite Dish with Inverto Unicable II/JESS LNB and Inverto Unicable Splitter

    Defiantly stick with Cable if you can Wi-Fi can be temperamental and is mainly used when people can not be bothered to run /or can not run a cable to the box

    everytime i have this happen in network adapter settings i change from wpa2/wep to just wep or change what ever your current setting is save and restart network and then go back to original settings restart network and it always connects
