WIFI Performance on the VU+ Solo2

R

Reloaded

Vu+ Newbie
Hi

I've just bought a solo2 and installed latest blackhole image,
after getting almost everything to work I realised the USB wifi stick does not work as well as it works on my dm800hd gemini image?

The performance is terrible, it cuts off most times and when streaming video online lags all the time...

I'm really disappointed that I spent £300 on it hoping it will improve on the dm800hd clone, but I think i was wrong...

I've tried 3 different USB wifi sticks all get recognized straight away, but with terrible performance, I'm desperate for this to work as I cannot afford to go through the wired option.

any help would be much appreciated as always.

PS, the wifi sticks I have are Belkin and a RTL8191.
 
Matrix,

I don't know whether to buy the original VU stick or the Tenda W150M wifi bridge?

Which one shall I go for? Just need something that will have a reliable connectivity.

thanks,

Hi Everyone,

After trying a few USB wifi sticks I decided to give up and go for the Power-line Ethernet option, and I must say the improvement is head
and shoulders above any wireless connection, I even went for the official VU+ stick, and that was terrible too.

I cannot recommend the power-line option high enough, it has saved me many headaches and the connection is superb!

for those wondering what brand I went for, it was the Netgear 200mbps Nano kit, as I was desperate I grabbed it from Currys
just to see if it works, ended up paying £39.99.

Thanks to everyone who posted to help.
