Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

internet 3g is not the best solution for a satellite receiver.lan connexion is advisable

Yes i agree but we are talking mobile campers and caravans,all i can do is advise what works with spiderbox on remote locations via 3G or wifi hotspot ,the reason being we have actually done it and myself and friends have good working solutions. .
Try this try that is ok but what actually works good with a spiderbox ,we have all given our opinions its up to him now how he wants to proceed.

Good luck with getting it working bro .

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

many people use this solution, what i like to say is that in the future all receivers without wired internet will use the 3g-4g to do the job. wifi bridges are only for receivers like dm500 etc with no usb.

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

yes the wifi bridge like vonets are used only if a wire cannot enter the room. no one can say that you can have same result with wifi. the ping is bigger, the signal is worst. 3G and 4G donge are going to be a future solution in my opinion.

Bro it works now,iam using a tenda 3g router and it works perfect no problems.
using wifi bridges not good ,wifi extender with ethernet port to connect direct to spiderbox is working good also for spiderbox owners.

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

thanks for all the advise but I don't have a computer at my caravan and the initial advise is to load the software from CD to computer which the bridge is connected to then change the bridge to the spiderbox the initial request was is it possible to go direct from my android phone (which i am using as a hotspot) direct to a spiderbox if not It looks like I would have to go via my laptop

You only need to use the laptop once to set the settings of the bridge to
that of your phone then your spiderbox will connect to your phone via
the wifi bridge.

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

Thanks for response which is very helpful but most say plug in bridge to computer and load load software from CD then transfer bridge to spiderbox I do not have a computer at my caravan and wondered if I could download direct from my android phone or would I have to go through my laptop

You would need your laptop to put the security settings (WEP/WPA) of
your phone into the bridge so that it can connect to it.

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

I have tried the vonets on lots of of different boxes the last box being a sly box and it was terrible all the same problems signal drop and cut offs I would not advise any one to buy one of these

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

Before you buy a wifi bridge i have found that with the spiderbox i found it very unreliable with lots of drop offs and glitches when using c lines even with a strong signal

I agree 100% and vonets is really bad be careful what you buy ,i spent a lot of money to find what works with the spiderbox.

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

Everyone has the best soluction for you.
I have your same problem, and prefer a repeater. I'm using this: As*s wl-330n, very little, like a credit card, powered by usb, multifunction (repeater, 3G router, vonet bridge and other), so you can try different mode and choice. On plus is very cheap, about £25 on amaz*n.

Re: smartphone/wifi/streaming

I had issues with my Vonets bridge and it eventually died after only 9 months use. Instead I bought an Edimax Range Extender/Access Point with 5-port switcher which works great for my Spiderbox, Raspbery Pii and Xbox 360. It was only a couple of quid more than the original Vonets bridge also.

You could always try a slingbox does HD as well pricey but well worth it in the long run

to use slingbox you need a very good upload speed were you place the slingbox and uncut internet to watch on any device any were in the word. in this case that will cost a lot of money to stream.
