Hi
I have the 1TB 1000s and it seems to be working well. However, it seems to lose its wifi connection every few days (I have a USB Edimax adapter) and you cannot get it to reconnect without a power off. You get an error ‘Sorry something seems to go wrong’ on the screen.
Its very frustrating.
Anyone else suffering the same issues?
Thanks
Anyone? Every time I put the device into standby the wireless is lost. Now its completely hit and miss whether a reboot works. Really frustrating.
Welcome to our Forum
I only have access to the Humax dongle, and when I tested it previously it saved the settings, and connected automatically.
Will connect it up again for a few days and monitor.

Is your WiFi SSID hidden?
No not hidden. Works for every other device in the house! Really odd. Anyone shed any lights? I don’t want to use LAN connection. Thanks
I can only conclude the Edimax dongle does not work with the 1TB box. I simply cannot get it work. As soon as you put the box into standby I lose my wifi connection. The box then does not see my home wifi without a number of reboots. Totally hit and miss if it works. Very unreliable.
I bought one of these Edimax EW-7711UAN:
Would anyone think its compatibility issues with my BT home router?
Hi, I’m also using the Edimax EW-7711UAN, works well for me, but I did have one problem because my SSID was hidden, so the box wouldn’t reconnect to my wifi network when I power cycled the Humax box. Once I set the router to broadcast the SSID it works fine (although it really SHOULD work with a hidden SSID).
If you are broadcasting your SSID, what type of encryption are you using on your network? From what I gather, sometimes this can cause connections to drop if there’s a compatibility issue between device and router. I’m using an Apple Time Capsule as my router, & while most things work well with it I did have one device hat wouldn’t hold a connection to it… Is there a firmware update available for your router?
Its the standard BT one. Any idea if you can force an update of the firmware?
Don’t know, but this link may help: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12365/~/how-do-i-update-the-firmware-on-my-home-hub-2.0%3F

Actually, ignore that 2nd link, should have read it more thoroughly before posting!
OK I changed my BT router to use WPA2 only and this seems to have worked for now. It was set to the default WPA2 or WPA. Thanks for your help chaps.
