Compatible Wifi Adapters? (BM5000s)

[Colliwobbles]

Hey, i setup my bm5000s today and added my line and its flawless I did the setup with a wired connection downstairs but the box is for upstairs and id need to use a wireless connection.

I just purcashed TP-Link 300mbps mini wireless n usb adapter (TL-WN823N) and i can't seem for the life of me to get it all working.

Are their specific adapters the blade box will only accept? or will this one be fine, can anybody help me get setup?

Thank you!

WiFi is a bit of a minefield with any sat box, they tend to drop the signal
causing glitchy viewing.It seems worse the further away the router is from the box.

You are best using a pair of homeplugs to carry the internet signal upstairs
they work fine, and are just plug and play.

Just in case anyone is interested, I had a Sky Wireless Connector hanging about which plugs into the mains and then into the Ethernet in the back of the bm5000s, been using it in the bedroom for a few days now, flawless, 100% signal, I recommend trying it to anyone considering a wireless connection.

I use that type too, they are fine, no need to buy expensive ones.

Is it fine to use the 200mbps plugs or are the 500mbps recommended?

This may seem like a silly question but with regards to hone plugs, can they be plugged into a mainstream adapter or does it have to be straight from the mains?

Thanks
