Mini cannot connect wirelessly? if my internet modem/router are in the living room connected to the Roamio, how do I connect the mini in the bedroom?

Either by a network (ethernet) cable or through a MoCa (Coaxial) cable connection.

According to TIVO the TiVo Mini does not support wireless connections. You will need to use Ethernet or Multimedia Over Coax Alliance (MoCA).

I don't think Mini is spec'd to work over wireless - not enough bandwidth. You will need either a wired Ethernet connection or MOCA adapters - if your other TIVO is Roamio, you have built-in MOCA adapter in both boxes (Roamio and Mini), so if are able to put cable connection to Mini, then just enable MOCA in the TIVO menus, and they should find each other. I would recommend a MOCA filter on the main Cable feed to your home, so that you can avoid interference / signal leakage into the cable system from your network traffic.... I put a Mini in a 2nd room and it works with Roamio tested with both MOCA and with hardwired Ethernet (I have Gb internet throughout home), and it works fine with either interface.

You would have to run a Ethernet cable from the router to the bed room or if you have the Roamio plus you can set it up using MOCA that uses the cable to send it to the mini. If you have a Roamio basic you would have to but a MOCA adapter.

Look for a moca adapter. Also you may need a moca filter at the point of entry to the house on the cable line. If you have a TiVo xl4 or romaio box, you will only need one moca adapter at the cable modem. This will run the signal through coax to the mini or you can run the signal through Ethernet. I heard some were able go get it to run with a power line Ethernet as long as the primary TiVo is connected via Ethernet or moca. Its not hard just needs a little research.

You can purchase a wireless bridge that can extend your internet access. I would personally really recommend you run ethernet directly to the unit to ensure best performance. Lmk if I can help you further!

You can connect your Mini with moca. Just go to Tivo.com and look up how to hook up moca. I found it real easy to connect.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

Looks like you have to hook up to the internet via an ethernet cable. I'm going to hold out for a wireless unit.

I used cable connection, mostly. WiFi is very poor and unstable. I dont remember if I had to do something special to connect, and I dont use that device any more.

Same thing here. I am able to get it to work in wired mode. Wireless, it connects to my network and gets an IP address but, it cannot get past the DNS problem. Updating the firmware (version R1.17) did not help. This thing is ticking me off! I've contacted Aluratek but, if this doesn't get resolved very soon, I'll have to return it and try something else.

I assume it's a combined modem/router bought or rented from your ISP. The easiest workaround would be to buy a second wireless router, plug it into a line on the ISP router. You can then setup a wireless network using "your" router.

You really need to detail out what exactly the problems are your experiencing. I have no trouble with mine as long as the signal strength is low/medium to good. If you explain more I may be able to help. Are you not able to connect with your home router or are you having problems with other WiFi hotspots. Bob

Good question. Well it has to be connected to a modem or router that's connected to the Internet Mary.

It should be able to connect to your wireless internet.I got me Vizio Smart Tv and it has internet functionality too.If you had issues,read up on the Trouble Shooting section of the TV Manualand if there is none then either go into Settings and find Internet Connection or call the Panasonic Company.I hope that this does solve your problems,I really do hope that it does help you.

No, it should connect via wireless connection. This particular repeater failed miserably. It never did what I expected it to do. I bought another from Belkin which worked well.

All the info on the Mini I've read/learned from my own installation indicate that you cannot use WiFi for a mini. You need either a wired Ethernet connection or coax.

Not sure as it never really worked well for me, even after I updated the firmware. I had it plugged directly into the router too!

This modem does not have onboard WiFi (wireless). If you had wireless in your previous setup, either your previous cable modem had WiFI or you had a wireless router connected to the cable modem.

no this is a modem that connects to a router u will need a wireless router i use a mikrotik but i do NOT recomend that to a home user check out the asus 802.11AC routers

I had the same problem. I had to change my modem to another modem (although nothing was wrong with my original modem) to get it to work but before i did i carried the android to a place with open wifi and tried it and it connected without a problem. I also carried it by a friend and it connected there without a problem. I did that to ensure the android was not the problem. For some reason it doesnt connect to certain modems (or if there is a way to get it to connect to those modems then i dont know how). Sorry i couldnt be of more help.

First of all I am having trouble getting it to connect to the internet via my AT&T 3G Velocity Wi-Fi adaptor. As for the rest of the configuration I used, which does work nicely. It wirelessly displays itself, you can attach to it and resources like my external network hard drive, printer, other computers via the HUB. I took the RJ45 connection (made it a LAN connection in the Hame software) to a 4 port HUB, , connected a 2TB network hard drive to it, router wise it works great. The Hame issues the IP address's so a mini network is established, just like at my NY home (FIOS network/wireless router), I am setting this up for use on my floating winter home, a 38' Ketch in Florida. Fact is it works great in every way except I have not been able to connect to the internet through it, yet. I download the latest software from Hame, still have to install and retest. I hope this answers your question.......

No need to be close to the router, I use my MK808 in another room from the router and I'm able to connect. If your other gadgets can connect, maybe your MK808 is not working. You should return it.
