I have tried to connect to the internet via wifi, I set up the port forwarding in the internet router,( I have Wireless internet connection) which is also the wifi access point connection, I can read all my IP network information, but it will not connect, I get error 86-941 and on the ip list window, no connect (9). Do I use the IP address of the wifi unit, or another ip address in my system, to get on line.??? I don't wish to buy a wifi unit from Direct TV if I don't have to. Cat 5 Cable works fine. I also have found that wired works far better for the HD DVR's than WiFi does. Amen to that. It seems like the younger users see wireless as state of the art when actually it is mostly a convenience feature.

Having said that, any reader attempting to configure an Ethernet wireless adapter should know the right way (if it doesn't auto connect) is to attach the adapter to the router (or computer, see install instructions) and configure the adapter there. The connect it to the DVR and run the reset defaults and connect now sequence in the network setup menu. There is no need whatever to manually enter any advanced setting info.
