CHEERS
Vincheno, it was something I was looking into, now ya can buy HOMEPLUGS(google it) they allow ya to connect to your modem wireless if your unit is not wireless, was thinking in investing in them myself as my modem is upstairs to the TV i would be using

I'm using homeplugs & they work great, got them here

I don't use them for the dreambox just for general home network, but they do work great for dreambox setups,...so I hear ;-)

Flash a new firmware onto it. If you can get it to connect to your router it will be easy enough. If not then you will need to use a null modem cable.
