let me ask you this my wifi extender , does it go in the computer or the mag254 box ,,

[K00lKatT]

The USB wifi adaptor plugs into the rear USB port on your Mag..

[Marley]

yes but some you need to setup with a computer first then just plug into the mag box that why i asked what model he has

[K00lKatT]

sorry, old school geezer here....I run hard wire..

[Marley]

[K00lKatT]

Can you do a scan in settings to see what networks are available for your extender?

If you are putting the cd into your pc and installing, then make sure the adapter is plugged into the pc too. If you're using it in the mag you don't need to use the cd. I would try it into the pc first though, because sometimes those little adapters can be bad and never work. I still like wired for my devices

Hi, I have the same problem in mag254, i instal the cd driver in my laptop an the antenna wifi work fine but i conect to mag254 say no wifi adapter conect.
The antenna wifi is ( usb 2.0 wireless 802.llN )

I think you're going about this in the wrong way. Running the install CD for the wifi adaptor in your windows computer is only necessary if you're going to be using the adaptor in the computer, which you're not. You're going to use it in the MAG 254. The wifi adaptor, when inserted in the MAG254, allows the box to communicate with your wireless router.

First check out this link to see if your wifi adaptor is supported by the MAG254: http://wiki.infomir.eu/doku.php/en:stb_webkit:faq:wi-fi?rev=0&do=export_pdf

If it is, insert it in your MAG254 in one of the rear USB ports. You'll have to figure out how to configure it through the Settings menu of the MAG254 using the remote control. Go to network and select wireless. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out. You'll have to know the name of your wifi network and the password.
Good luck.
