GTMedia V8 Finder 2 WiFi

Post by Rich209 »

Hello,

I am new to this forum & GTMedia products. I recently purchased a V8 Finder 2 & am attempting to set up WiFi. However, when I go to System, WiFi Manager, I get a "No device" message. It then dawned on me I probably need a USB WiFi dongle. So, does GTMedia make a dongle for this device? Or, would any USB WiFi dongle work? If any dongle, what about drivers for it?

Thanks...

There are only some chip set of wifi units that GT Media units work with.

Post from other users.
A dongle with Ralink rt 5370 will work.
The MT7601 chipset is also suitable.

Search GT Media wifi on sites like aliexpress and you will find them.
