Re: WiFi Adapter - Does it have to be Seagate?????

I'm using the Linksys WET610n. Works Perfect but you do have to set up the adapter on a computer first. Comes with a setup CD

[ Edited ]

I got the AirLink 101 model # AWLL6077 and it works great.

Thank you for letting me know.  I am very anxious about this.  Did you test to see if you can play big movie files over the network?

 My goal is able to play uncompressed m2ts file over the network.  These files are at least 18gb.  I guess I need to post my question in a different topic

 

Thank you

Re: WiFi Adapter - Does it have to be Seagate?????

Hi

 

I have two adapters , one is the Xtreamer Wifi antenna the other is a SitecomWL 352 X2

 

Both use a realtek RT8191SU chip.

 

I did download the drivers from Realtek because the original drivers from Sitecom em Xtreamer do not work with Windows 7.

 

They are both working fine on miy Theater+ with I ugrade tot the latest firmware!

 

Good luck and sucess !!

Do you have to install the drivers on your computer?

You can not install drivers on your FAT+, right?

 

Sorry, if that is a silly question.

Hi

 

TheSeagate will detect these adapters after which you can configure your Wifi network through the Seagate menu.

Re: WiFi Adapter - Does it have to be Seagate?????

I have tried connecting the USB adapter Sitecom WL-352 at Fat X2 + but does not recognize it,

 

i discovered that mounts the chip RT8192SU and not the chipset RT8191SU.

 

You tell me how did you do recognize the Fat +

 

thanks

Yes it is a silly question.  You connect the wifi device to the FAT+, not the computer.  If the FAT+ does not have driver for it already, you are stuck.

Hi

 

 

I am using the Xtream antenna, tried to connect the Sitecom again and I do not know why but the sitecom does not work anymore!

When I remove the Xtream and connect it again the FAT+ will report this by starting up.

Also when you loose connection you have to power off power on the FAT+

@ngvu19: That´s why i was slightly confused about installing drivers for the wifi-adapter. If you connect it with the FAT+ you can´t install drivers, but usually you don´t have to install drivers for the adpater on the PC, because you connect to the wifi-router, not to the PC. But to bes sure i asked that question and wanted to be polite. Maybe you didn´t get it.

No I did not get it!  Just to be clear, I thought you wanted to have wireless capability on the FAT+ . The FAT or FAT+ do not come with wireless capability.  The FAT+ is just like a computer, your desktop PC to be simple.  This is why you need to have a wireless adapter to communicate with your wireless router.   With this, you can watch youtube or other internet services without connecting the CAT5 cable from the FAT+ to your Router.  The FAT+ however, does not come with a lot of drivers for different wifi device vendors, so it is very picky on which adapter you can use.  I have 3 other wifi dongles and none of them work with the FAT+.  I found the solution from this blog.  I thought we were on the same page.

 

To be honest, I don't understand what you are trying to say here "but usually you don´t have to install drivers for the adpater on the PC, because you connect to the wifi-router, not to the PC"   May be I assume too much. :-)
