I have put in what seems to be required router password etc but when i try to access network , i get the no server found message.

What exactly are you trying to do? Do you have the standard firmware or the custom firmware?

I have standard firmware. I was hoping to put video files onto network or tranfer music back and forth via network

You need to enable the FTP server on the HDR and use an FTP client to move files back and forth. Note that if you want to take recordings off the HDR then they need to be decrypted first.

Hi thanks , i don’t know what a ftp client is.

If you are using Windows then I suggest Filezilla which is open source and can be downloaded for free.

Install it and start by using the Basic user instructions

ftp is a standard protocol just like http – it is used to copy files rather than display html.

It does give you more file transfer options, but it would still help if you could get FTP working on your P.C. / Laptop, If you haven’t got anywhere with Filezilla you could try the built-in FTP in most Windows operating systems. Turn on FTP on the Humax as detailed above, If the IP address of youe Humax is say 192.168.0.123 then in a windows (File) Explorer address bar enter ftp://192.168.0.123 username = humaxftp password = 0000

If you want to use the modified (Custom) firmware goto the Web-If browser and select OPT download, you will need Content Sharing turned on in the Humax menus (Menu >> Settings >> System >> Internet Settings)
