Nfusion question
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 164 Registered: Mar-06 | Okay, I'm setting up my Nfusion for the first time, I've loaded the V1.47 file and 1.30 loader file and scanned the channels. My question is that does it matter if the nfusion is connected to the internet or not for the channels to display? Because I just loaded the bin through a serial cable from my computer to the box, I have my router all the way in the basement and have one of my computers (connected through wireless connection) in the same room (upstairs 2nd floor) as the nfusion, I have the nfusion connected directly into that same computer via an ethernet cable, I would believe that is suppose to work too. But still I get I-Off for internet? Please help. |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3587 Registered: Oct-07 | are u using a router? |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 166 Registered: Mar-06 | I'm using a router, but it's in the basement while I have my nfusion directly connected to one of the PC's (via ethernet cable) in the same room that is using a wireless connection. The funny thing is I can see one channel and it scans the satellite fine and displays the channel and the name of the program but the screen is black. Any suggestions? |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3592 Registered: Oct-07 | pete i am confused, in order to watch nfusion channel ur network cable must be connected to ur router, or the other way is that u can buy ethernet adapter cost about $ 8o (2) and u can plug one in router, and 2nd one just any walloutlet and plug in to ur nfusion |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 167 Registered: Mar-06 | Oh I see, so sada I can buy any ethernet adapter (2 of them), I'm assuming these are suppose to be wireless? Let me know if I'm completely off here. Thanks |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 168 Registered: Mar-06 | But then again that would be expensive I'm assuming so my other question is can I just by any wireless bridge and use that instead? |
|
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3595 Registered: Oct-07 | wireless bridge and ethernet adapter are same thing.. |
|
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3596 Registered: Oct-07 | pete two ways to make it work.. one way is to use network cable, if u can find a way from upstairs to downstair and big network cable,so can take it to basement.. 2nd way is ethernetadapter/bridge (just two differnet names for samething).. buy the one with good speed atleat 85mbps.. i bought zylex, they are goode, try kijji may be can find cheaper there..they comes in twin.. plug one in to ur router and wall outlet and 2nd one intowall outlet and connect a networkcable, the benefit to this is that u don't need to run a networcable all over the house. |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 169 Registered: Mar-06 | Thanks Sada, I look on kijiji if I can't get one then I'll just get a 150 foot network cable from the Nfusion directly to the router in the basement. |

Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 170 Registered: Mar-06 | Sorry to be back again, but is it possible to use another wireless router as a bridge for the Nfusion, so I have my wireless router in the basement and now I would have a second one by my nfusion which I will run a ethernet cable from the nfusion to the 2nd router. Can that work? |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 171 Registered: Mar-06 | Hi again, so this is what I found it is called: Netgear XE102 Powerline Ethernet Adapter or wall plugged Ethernet adapter, so this should work too right? One is plugged into an outlet and runs to the router and the other is plugged into another outlet near the Nfusion. Thanks |

Silver Member Username: KrishnPost Number: 184 Registered: Sep-06 | Pete: Netgear XE102 is power-line networking, which uses the electrical wires of your house, that should work. Your other alternative is to use a wireless bridge like Linksys WET54G or something similar, which you place it near Nfusion and connect it to your Nfusion. WET54G provides an ethernet port and communicates with your wireless router in your basement. May be G type 54Mbps is too slow and you many need N type 160Mbps, for which you may need to upgrade your wireless router if you do not already have N type wireless router. I am not sure in this regard, however - Sada or African know more in this regard and can help you out. Of course the other alternative is running a long cable. |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3601 Registered: Oct-07 | i am using zylex 85mbps ethernet adapter, easy to use.. i also tried in on my laptop and it gave m 100mpbs speed same as my local area connection.. pete if u are buying netgear make sure atleast 54 or 85mbps.. |
|
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3602 Registered: Oct-07 | yeh and for ur question if u can try other wireless router , i tried it , but then i thought where should i put networkcable.. |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 172 Registered: Mar-06 | Yeah that's the only problem, I can't find a wireless bridge that is under $100, the WET54G is over $100, I have a 'N' router in the basement. I just want to take something and put it next to the Nfusion and plug in the ethernet cable from the Nfusion directly into and then it gets it's signal from the router downstairs. |
|
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3604 Registered: Oct-07 | go to any store that sells nfusion, ethernet adapter cost less than $ 100 |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 173 Registered: Mar-06 | Can I get something like this: Linksys Wireless N Home Router (WRT160N) Link: |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3605 Registered: Oct-07 | i don't think so pete, but i can be wrong.. pete which city do u live in? |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 174 Registered: Mar-06 | Hi Sada, I'm actually in Toronto. |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3606 Registered: Oct-07 | here u got bhatti knows... thanks bhatti and check my other post, i am testing kbox.. |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 175 Registered: Mar-06 | Thanks Bhatti, but unfortunately I can't use this as it has to be connected directly into a wall outlet and I have surge protectors everywhere. I guess I'll have to buy either: http://www.frontierpc.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=20132913H&name=Zyxel%20G -470%20Wireless%20Ethernet%20Bridge&mfrpartno=G470&version= or something like: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=153388 9&CatId=1594 |

Silver Member Username: Rafiq128Post Number: 120 Registered: Feb-08 | Pete: You can use powerline adapters on surge or extention, I am using it on my extention cords and its working fine. |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 176 Registered: Mar-06 | Oh, I'm confused because a lot of places I see they say you can probably use it on extension cords but not Surges, http://reviews.cnet.com/adapters-nics/netgear-xe102-powerline-adapter/4505-3380_ 7-21057065.html |

Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 177 Registered: Mar-06 | Hi, can I also use this? I was talking to a guy just now at Canada Computers and he said you can try this: http://www.alvio.com/xABK_PID51349_d-link-systems_dwl-g820_wireless-bridge-wirel ess-gaming-adapter-80211g-108mbps_bridge-routers.html |
|
Silver Member Username: Rafiq128Post Number: 121 Registered: Feb-08 | I am using one on surge and one on extention cord and they both are working fine. Try it and you will see the results, it will work ok don't be confused. |
|
Silver Member Username: Rafiq128Post Number: 122 Registered: Feb-08 | I have one nfusion and one Kbox, i am using 3 powerline adaptors, 2 on extention cords and one on surge, working ok . surge one in basement and the other 2 in different rooms. My one working ok. |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 178 Registered: Mar-06 | Thanks guys, I ended up running a ethernet cable straight from the router to the Nfusion box and it works like a charm. Now the only thing is that whenever I turn on the Nfusion the Viewsat Platinum I have downstairs doesn't work and vice versa so not sure why that is happening . |
|
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 3609 Registered: Oct-07 | what is ur setup? how many dishes lnbs, reciever? |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 179 Registered: Mar-06 | Hi Sada, I have 5 dishes (4 small and 1 36") 4 dishes only have a single LNB and 1 has 2 inputs in the LNB so really it's 4 LNB's I'm using into the Diseq switch, then I have the output going into splitter that takes that output as an input and sends out two outputs to the receivers. Boy even I'm confusing myself now. |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 181 Registered: Mar-06 | Actually the previous post sounds a bit confusing perhaps someone can tell me with a simple scenario: If I have one dish with just one LNB (eg. Echo 8,10) and I want to run that to a Viewsat Plat receiver and also to a Nfusion Receiver how do I do that as long as I can watch on both receivers at the same time different channels? Thanks in advance |

Silver Member Username: Bugster999Katy, Tx Post Number: 131 Registered: Dec-05 | I don't know I use two belking wireless routers and it work fine so if you get another linksys it should work as well as long as the two wireless devices see each other it will work then an Ethernet cable out of the wireless router that you put near the nfusion should do the trick. |
|
Silver Member Username: BruceleeBeverly Hills, California United States Post Number: 182 Registered: Mar-06 | Thanks Ray, I don't really need two routers since now the problem is more with playing two satellite receivers at one time different channels. So if I play something downstairs on my Viewsat I can still watch something else on my Nfusion upstairs. Right now that's not working. |
