Can't connect to wireless

Hi, i just brought my device out of the box, but somehow i cannot make it select any option to connect by wireless, nor upgrade firmware.

I went through the online manual, went into setup, then network settings, then netork setup, my screen is exactly the same as what we see on page 69, except at the bottom, instead of a choice between wired and wireless, i havce a choice between manual or automatic.

As for firmware updates, i cannot find anywhere any option to update the firmware, online or from a usb device.

edit: im using firmware 2.02.16

The Hub does not have wireless built in, you need to add an adapter to it for wireless. Firmware updates are done through the Main Menu and you need to be connected to a network that has internet access to do it. Also, there’s a Network subforum for connectivity issues.

You can find how to update via USB HERE.

The wireless settings only appear when a supported adaptor is attached… if you attach an unsupported adaptor, you don’t get the settings.

thanks for the answers, found the list of compatible devices.

allright everything works like a charm, thanks
