    Can't cponect via wifi

    I have set up the box with Openvix 4.1.010 initially via LAN ethernet but now want to switch to wireless LAN.
    However, I can't see the option in Menu/setup/system/network/device set up

    The only option I have is Network setup which is bound to the ethernet LAN.

    Short of reflashing do I have any other options?

    thanks

    Can't cponect via wifi

    Should have LAN and wifi options in Nerwork Setup if the box supports Wifi.

    I know, you're right Andy but I don't see the option of ethernet or wlan when entering device setup. I have another box and i do see this dual option. The only difference with this and other box is that this box is current version of Vix.(.10)

    Correct drivers not installed?
    Not sure what drivers your wireless card needs but sure someone else can...

    Is the wifi via a usb dongle or built into the receiver via hardware?

    So my understanding then is the receiver should have the drivers preinstalled with ViX already.

    Menu > Setup > System > Network. So are you saying in Device setup you don't have a Wifi option?

    I have been informed that you will need to reflash via USB due to a Kernel upgrade recently. Once reflashed the Wifi option should be present.
