The version approved has no version number so your version 2 may not work. (different chipset?)

You could try updating your firmware or / and resetting your unit and then trying again

Do you actually see a wireless setup page. Is the led flashing on the adaptor.

The blue wireless light is flashing

I cant get a page which searches for wireless points

The first page under settings says     network setting

the setup page says there is ni ip address

Is my best option to buy another usb wirelss adapter,   this is a huge adapter anyway

Im just trying to update firmware, I have  1 01 12

have downloaded file to usb stick but no idea how make it update or if worth it

You should have 1.02.21 firmware for the Live.

See here:

Unzip the 3 frimware files to the root of a USB stick - make sure there are no other files.

Put USB stick into WDTV USB port.

Firmware upgrade icon should appear on the WDTV.

Press the button and hope for the best. There are some long winded reboots.

The page above gives more detail on the upgrade.
