    Im in the process of going internet via 4g LTE router and testing the connection speed of a 3 Sim unlimited data plan. not connected to router yet and want to test if IPTV works ok with 4g network..

    thing is when i connect my Z8 box to my iPhone vis hotspot i always get the " wifi password not valid" screen even though i know the password is the same and i can tether from other devices, (phones, tablets, laptops) etc...

    any reason why the Z8 box cannot pick up a tethered hotspot.

    thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for the info, will ask if Sky have a hidden menu on their router to change the DNS.. Meanwhile, as my Broadband speeds are only 35mbps max I may go down the LTE router path as I can get up to 60mbps from a LTE connection.. just doing my homework now on pro's and con's... then have a router that I can have open house on and not ISP locked..

    don't think my mates will let me play with their router and configure for sky and test..I tend to break things. :smiling_face:

    thanks

    Intertest that you are having the same LAN disconnects as i have recently.. I have the Z8 box and experiencing Lan disconnections, when i go to `network and select IP settings and then "`DHCP" i get connected after a couple of seconds rather then reboot.

    ive also upgrade my Sony android to Oreo and now getting the same on that too.. annoying..

    had a new box delivered today and still the same disconnects, have new LAN cables arriving tomorrow hoping that will fix the issue.. Sky state that they have never heard of this issue but you seem to have gone through many Sky-q routers so their knowledge base must be poor.

    update this thread with your finding please as no doubt i'll need another router soon rather than having to send the Z8 back.

    thanks
