Could it be set to Static for IP or is router/modem setting it to a static IP, Make sure the Box is set to DHCP & reboot Everything including router/modem & Box, let router assign it a IP. Also log into router/modem & check to see if router can see the Box.
Curious about this as well....
Was testing out 2 different Junxboxes and neither work with LAN (cabled network). Lots of "activity light" but not working.
Both work over Wifi.
Over LAN they respond to ping over the network, but MAC addresses come up as 00-00-00-00-00-00.
I even tested putting in a 2nd router through NAT and different IP ranges to see if it was a router issue. No difference.
Perhaps none of these Junxbox clones can even function over LAN? They are Wifi only?
Have a read here post #10 https://www.satfix.to/showthread.php...ting-to-server
I have 2 without working lan.Wireless only.It's a non-issue for iks because of the little internet it uses.
Thanks, I agree it's not a big issue, although the reliability of the wireless dongles is questionable. There seems to be random disconnect/reconnects of the wlan adapter, and some complete drops requiring a reboot. I've also tried about 5 types of other wireless dongles without any success of them even being picked up by the junxbox. Also tried a couple variations of USB to lan dongles. None work, this box must require a very specific chipset of wireless dongle.Quote:

Awesome, thanks for the link! Worth a try to see if its any more stable than the stock one.Quote:

I had that issue when I switched from my dreamlink to a junxbox. First issue was in the server names area. There was a space in the server name that shouldn't have been there. I deleted the name and re entered it...the blank space was gone after. The other was that it wouldn't work with the lan. I hooked the dreamlink back up and looked at the network local settings assigned to it and wrote it all down then hooked the Junx back up and entered the dreamlink network local settings information into the junx and away it went. Problem solved with DHCP off.
Certainly worth a try.
I to have exact same problems with my 2 junxbox receivers. Both are brand new boxes. Did all the scans 91/82 got the channels with sound no picture. Had to use wifi antenna that came with receivers to connect to router as the ethernet would not.Tried to connect to my server sat91/82 and would not. I set up my Dreamlink as described by another copied the network settings and then set up the Junxbox and turned off DHCP and tried to change it's network settings. I don't know how you can do that without an on screen keyboard. Can't delete or add numbers with the remote control so i'm stuck at that point. Any idea how to do it.
Update''''''''''''''' Got the receivers connected to my server but the scan did pretty much gives me the same channel list as my dreamlinks. I gained a couple of channels that went from 82 to 91. Still lost most sport channels....tsn's and sportnets. New receivers sure a disappointment.
The clones are really poor.Very soft picture,slow channel changes,unstable setup,hardware issues,and the list goes on.We have been spoiled in the past by exceptional functionality of the Dreamlinks & Sonicview.This is the world we live in now.There will be little if any satellite inovation.The only real possible help would have been for the Dreamlink team to release the source code or AES keys to the software so the software could be modified to work with the new satellite requirements.Quote:

Do manual scans and switch from V to H, scan both way. I have a jynxbox and get sound and picture on tsn and sportsnet. You should scan at least 3 times on each transpondersQuote:

Also, did the 888. for the DNS connection but no go, still have to use the adapter.
When using WiFi adapter, see what IP address is being used (make note of it) then if you can log into router/modemQuote:

My main thing is just to have Fox East and West working for tomorrow just in case ISP's start having fun during the game. Just swapped out the T5 for this Junkbox and at least I have those 2 channels.....lol
Thanks and I'll give that a try Monday. Already have the 2 channels I need for tomorrow.
Many people have posted this already, Scrap the T5 it is a "PAPER WEIGHT/DOOR STOP", Not coming back to "LIFE EVER"
Use the Junkbox from Here-On-In, Satellite reception is ON IT'S WAY OUT, Who knows how much longer it will Last.
For sure.....Was riding the T5 out but pretty much done now. I only use it once in a while anyways.
So, with my T5, I had 82 and 91 with a sw21. Should I just disconnect 82 and use 91 directly? Any point in keeping 82?
My sub expires in June, so I probably won't renew unless this box can get the channels my T5 did.
That's a individual decision, all I know is 82 is on it's last legs (from all reports) channels are moving off it to 91Quote:

Just figured all the channels I watch, TSN's, sportsnet, etc have all moved to 91 since I could no longer get them with the T5.
My buzz box is what keeps the wife happy!
