Trying to connect Direct TV for on demand (wired) to a WiFi public network (RV park). Will this work?

It would probably depend on how strong the signal is from the public network. I have had this NetGear universal wifi adapter for a few years now and it has worked with everything that I've plugged it into. Still working. Recently hooked it up to my Blu-ray player that has built in wifi but was getting a weak signal...improved signal reception a lot.

That sounds doable. I would say that your msin consideration is the strength of the wifi signal. If it isn't pretty strong, I might look into something with more substantial antenna.

Yes I do believe that will work for you.. It is supported by Century Link & should work just fine. Just sign in with your DSL user name & password, and you should be up & running right away.

We just installed this very setup in our Rv. The directv tech had to run it through the satellite input in our trailer vs. Cable. Why, I do not know.

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

I can't answer that specific question since I'm full time in a motorhome and used it to pick up weak RV park WiFi signals. I would expect, however, that is you can pick up a weak signal at all then this device should give you a good connection. Note, however, that the driver software works for this purpose only on Windows. The Mac OS is not supported for this use.

Yes. You have to make sure it is set for DirectTV. The user manual has instructions on how to do that.

I had someone try to set it up as such but it did not work. Today I am having BrightHouse hook up Internet to it. I think it is meant only as an Internet Interactive television.

The only way I know to retrieve the data is thru an active connection.I used mine with DirectTV but since Direct TV did an upgrade mine is just a paperweight and yours might be too.

Yes, if you configure it properly. Sounds like you would use the 'client' mode which makes the D-Link act as a wireless connection point for a wired Ethernet device.

I doubt this will work, the Dish receiver usually won't let you do anything without active service. That being said, why not just use the tuner built in to your TV? another option would be to buy a stand alone sling box.

Yes it needs to be wired to a router, if it is a wireless router then you will see it over the network.

Jillian, I haven't tried yet but it says I can add my Sony wifi TV to my home group. I will try later and let you know.

This should do the job, I asked my local provider the same question, and they use a 3 shield cable. I asked if quad would work, and they told me it was over kill for the service, but it would work just fine. So it should work for direcTV.

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes. I am also wiring for Directv. They require RG6, which this is. Have fun!

If your direct tv receiver has a Ethernet port then you can directly connect to your router. If your router is not accessible to the receiver than you will need this device or other compatible wireless access device.

I have only been able to get it to work through the Lounge. DrGDD seems to have explored Pure Connect further than I have. I will try registering stations that way.
