Zgemma H7S - wifi problems

    Hi all, I've just got a ZGemma H7S box from WoS - just starting to set it up now. I got it bundled with a wifi dongle as my TV isn't near the router. When I first connected up the box a few days ago it connected to my WLAN with no issues. I put the box away again until I had time to set it up properly. Last night I tried to download the autobouquets plugin and discovered it no longer had network access. And when I try to connect using the wizard, it can't see my network - it only lists a single eir n/w which I assume is my neighbour's.
    I'm replacing a Sky HD box which had no problems connecting to the same wifi router - and I have a Raspberry PI under the TV which has working wifi too.
    I suspect this is some kind of firmware issue with my box. I bought it pre-imaged with OpenATV 6.3. Any suggestions? Should I try to re-flash or use a different image?

    I had similar problems with the Tiviar Alpha+, with OpenATV 6.1/6.2/6.3. I used a number of different dongles, including the one supplied by WoS, with the box. I also tried all the drivers downloadable from the feed.

    I now use a WiFi extender that has a LAN port, it works without any issue.

    Yep thanks, after trying a few options I just gave up and went and got a pair of powerline plugs and connected to the LAN port. All working fine now and figured out bouquets, plugins etc.
