Then you connect by WPS or manually putting in password like you would any other device.īe aware the Genie-2 (HS17) still has concerns in software, plus the restrictive design of forbidding anything but Clients. I would go the route of through the menu so you can put in password for security.Ĭhanging the router just means you go into the Genie-2's internet settings in the menu and reset network defaults. I have experienced the connection occasionally dropping, plus then you (temporarily) open a non-protected option. That should be exactly how he connected then. Ok a WiFi mesh system in a accessible area with WPS option. So in that case your router would "hear" the Genie-2, but wouldn't talk with it. There is no guaranteed way to disable the WiFi signal of the DirecTV box. If On Demand doesn't show, then your router may be recognizing the other WiFi signals (reading them), even if it is not using them. However a wireless connection cannot be transferred from a prior setup to a new one as there is no migrating of information when replacing a box.Ĭan you access On Demand on your TV? Such as SyFy On Demand 1244? If so then you are connected. So just uses existing physical connection and run network setup. Otherwise the only way it should connect is by direct Ethernet, powerline adapater, BB Deca from coax to router, essentially anyway it is physically connected. This is of course assuming your router doesn't have a completely open (non-password protected) connection available. To connect by wireless requires either the WPS method (press button on one device to make discoverable for say 2 minutes and then on the other to search for a discoverable device), or to know the name and password of your router to connect through the menu. The Genie-2 (HS17) is the only model with it built-in, all other Genies use an external WVB box (which the HS17 can use if you need better coverage at home for your Clients). It "bridges" them to the coax so they can communicate with the main Genie. Wireless Video Bridge (WVB) provides a proprietary wireless network that is only for the wireless models of Mini Genie Clients (C41W and C61W). The Genie-2 (HS17), like the 2nd and 3rd generation Genie (HR44, HR54) have the wireless CCK (what connects to your home internet) built-in. Setup is complete when the following message is displayed by the application " Security setup and connection have been Completed". The application will display the following message "

On Windows XP, use the Client Manager 3 software to connect wirelessly with AOSS or WPS.ġ Right click on the icon in the system tray, and select >.
WPS was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance.īefore using AOSS or WPS, install Client Manager software from the CD. Use these systems to connect to computers, game machines, or any wireless devices which support AOSS or WPS.ĪOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) is technology developed by Buffalo Technology. Just pressing the buttons will connect wireless devices and complete security settings. AOSS and WPS are systems which enable you to automatically configure wireless LAN settings.
