Connecting Dreambox 800 to O2 Hotshot Router with Vonets Vap

    Guys,

    Helping a friend set up his Dreambox DM 800 to an O2 mobile hotshot and would appreciate help/advice.

    Currently the O2 mobile hotshot is connected to a docking station connected to a wall socket and he is able to connect to it with his laptop.

    He has bought a Vonets Vap 11G wireless bridge which he has plugged into his dreambox but it is not picking up the wifi signal from the O2 mobile hotshot.

    Are there any particular settings that he needs to change/set up in the Dreambox or on any of the other devices to get this to work please?

    He is currently running the Gemini Project 2 image on the box.

    Thanks

    Has he actually setup the wifi Bridge via a PC/Laptop?
    Or are ye just plugging it in and expecting the dreambox to recognise and configure it?

    Thanks banie
    I think that is what he did and obviously. Now that is not what he needs to do.
