Wifi device not found(w3 wifi dongle)

#2
remove the dongle and enter menus and turn wifi off.
Then take receiver close to router and plug in an ethernet cable.
Power on box. Then after two minutes , power off and disconnect Ethernet. Reconnect your wifi and power on, enter menus and turn WiFi on

check results.

USB ports do mal-function, new or old, but two or more not working at same time is probably not a USB problem. But check and eliminate that possibility, by using another device thru them USB ports, like a hard-drive device, if you have one.

I beleive the W1 dongle could be used with Windows PC applications as well as androids. I do not know if the W3 has same capabilities, but if it does you could test the dongle by plugging into PC and try connecting thru there to test that dongle. Those dongles do not need a driver so it should work, but test at own risk.

But the issue prolly lies in the dreamlink and it's reading thru the USB ports. Could be an issue concerning deleivering power thru USB, or ....

I do believe that those wifi dongles do receive power from the USB connection.
What you can do to prolong it's life is to power off the device before connecting or reconnecting that dongle.

And thnx for the follow up report Bobby Baca :)
