Is this what I need to connect my Dish receiver to the internet?

Yep! Just plug it into one of the USB ports and you'll be able to select your wireless network. If you buy the sling adapter you'll be able to control and watch your DVR from anywhere in the world with the dish app. Very handy.

I bought one used from Amazon Marketplace for use as a WiFi adapter for the PC (I don't have Dish) and the thing had a Dish Logo on it! So that shows that Dish uses this adapter but on the other hand why did someone sell theirs on the internet?

I'm sorry, but I don't know. It will access a 5ghz network. Dish should be able to answer this question.

Yes you can if it is a Dish Network LNB on the end. Dish's LNB will work on either Dish or Direct I've been told but Direct LNB only works for Direct. (LNB is the "eye" on the end where connections are made)

Any dish receiver will work with this unit. I grab my hopper and Joey from the house (you need to install a switch to use the Joey - DISH Network 185834 Solo Node For Hopper/Joey) and it works great.

Yes, this is a universal slinglink adapter. I used it for connecting my Dish Hopper to the internet (for on demand content and interactive features on the hopper) because the wifi antenna Dish supplied could not pick up my wifi signal. To make sure it was working, I connected one adapter to the router and the other to my laptop in another room. I used speedtest.net to test my internet connection and it was the same as if I was connected directly to my router without the adapter. You will need a minimum of 2 adapters. One to connect to the router and the other to the device you want to connect to the internet.

All I can say is that I attached the cable to the receiver and had dish activate it. and all is working just fine. hope that helps some. Good luck to you.

Sling boxes are designed to work with Dish Network receivers (verified by manufacturer) and will not work for internet connection. I tried it, it will not work for internet connection through home electrical wiring with or without another Sling box. Some other devices may work but not for anything other than some Dish television features.

I think what you are talking about is the LNB. It is very likely that this is all you need, but I am not sure. I recently bought a Dish Tailgater which finds the satellites automatically and works great. It however will only work with the Dish v211k receiver. I already had that so transition was simple.

You do know that this is a WiFi adapter for computers, right? There are no satellite signals involved, just an internet gateway in or near your house. If you are looking for something for Dish TV, this isn't what you want. P.S. it works fine for me, picks up more connections around the neigborhood than the WiFi built into my laptop.

most of our information was obtained from the net can't remember what site. What you need depends on what type of receiver you have. Sorry couldn't be of more help

The simple answer is yes. You have to either be a DISH subscriber and add this receiver to your account (about $7 a month as I recall) or use the month to month subscription that some RVers use. You can stop and start as you like but will be charged for that particular month that you use it.

you need a dish network account and an activated dish network box/receiver.

There's a usb slot on the back of the receiver that you insert it in. Then go to your internet settings and connect. Hope that helps.

I just recently bought one of these to use with my H24 receiver. The dish comes with a single cable to connect to the receiver, meaning it will operate a single tuner.

You use it to connect your receiver to the internet via your wifi router. Once you do this you can order pay per view or VOD from your receiver's remote instead of going online to the Dish website.

I don't have Dish so I can't say with 100% certainty. But I believe as long as you're not using one of the RF remotes or the RF function of the remote that IR signals are mostly all compatible.

Call dish network and they will walk you throught the initial set up. Also if you don't use the receiver at least once a month you will have to go through set up each time you use it. So be sure to turn it on and let it aquire satalite signal at least one time every month
