Re: Brainless sky
Considering the title, your post does not make much sense. What exactly is your problem?

Re: Brainless sky
Born out of frustration. My wireless router is in the other room. On the instructions it shows it on top of the skybox?

Re: Brainless sky
You have to connect the Sky+ Box to the router either by ethernet cable or wireless bridge. What do you have.

Re: Brainless sky
So all I have to do is connect the router and ethernet? I don't need it connected to my phone line for setup? Or do I need two routers? One on my sky box plus the main one?

Re: Brainless sky
The router must be connected to the phone line. If you don't have a long enough ethernet cable to reach the Sky box, you will have to buy one or buy a wireless bridge.

Re: Brainless sky
That makes no sense. It's connected via ethernet so how does that make it wireless?

Re: Brainless sky
- The router connects to the phone line with a cable to create your internet connection.
- The router enables your devices (computers, games consoles, Sky+ box) to connect to the internet.
- This connection is via Ethernet using cables plugged into the sockets on the router
- and / or via wireless using the router's wifi signal.
- However, in order to connect a device via wifi that device must be wifi capable - the Sky+ box is not wifi capable so that must be connected via a cable or by using one of the several wifi 'adaptor' methods such as home plugs.

Re: Brainless sky
Is the router plugged into the phone line and are you using the filter that was supplied?
