WDTV Live problems

    I bought a WDTV Live box yesterday and it plays everything I have on a USB hard drive. I also bought an ASUS USB wireless dongle (the particular model has been tested with the WDTV Live according to the WD site). I cannot get the WDTV to see my network. According to the manual there should be an option under network settings to setup wireless connection but it does not appear on my menu.

    The firmware is 1.02.21 which I believe is the latest one. Can anyone help me please?

    The latest firmware is 1.04.10 , so your quite a ways behind.
    The Asus Dongle is compatible using the latest firmware only.

    See here

    http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3805

    The latest firmware can be installed using a USB stick or by unzipping to the root of any hard drive that is connected to the unit.
    Here is the latest firmware ...
