Hey
a mate recently moved house. i went out the other day to connect his box to his internet.
He has land line vodafone internet with 50mb down ,10mb up and i got less than 50ms latency every time i done a speed test which is a massive improvement over his previous internet.
im connecting to the internet using a wifi dongle in the box that he used in his previous place with little or no trouble for over a year.
the problem is when i went out to connect the box to the internet i was able to connect it to the router but no channels were opening except the fta channels.
when i tried to connect to the box using my idreamx on my computer i couldn't. and i cant find it when i do a search on the network. i couldnt access it either on my web browser.
when i access the router it shows the box connected. i forgot to see if i could ping it as i was highly frustrated thinking this was going to be a 5 min job but 2 hours later no luck.
i tired rebooting everything but with no luck.
his box is a vu solo2 lonrisun clone running vix helios.
i cant seem to figure out the problem. could it be vodafone blocking cs and the box?
I will try connecting using powerlines the next day but the box is only 20 feet from the router and my laptop has full wifi signal in the same place so im not to optimistic about that working.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
