Hi all.
I just need a quick yes or no to this one, \i've just bought a router which came with a Wireless USB Adaptor, can i use this adaptor in my DB for internet upgrading instead the hardwired ethernet connection?
Thanks
Richard.

I'm not to worried about multiboot i can put up with a single image on the harddrive, so how do i get the drivers of the adaptor to the db to make it all work?
Thanks

Can you not have multi-boot using the Hard drive?

Mine is on the USB but can't see why not.

You don't want multiboot on hard drive, as the drive will be constantly spinning. :)

attach the db directly to the router, and pc to the usb dongle.

I would not recommend updating via wifi. Also prism2 chipsets seem to work best with dreambox, and those generally are the 11mbit 802.11b ones.
