I bought this and have the HDR-1800T, when setting up, it doesn't allow me to set up wifi on the box as the menu is 'greyed' out. Any ideas?

Make sure that you do not have a network cable plugged into the HDR-1800T. Like other devices it is not possible to use both a network cable and Wi-Fi for the same device at the same time. On the HDR-1800T the Wi-Fi option will be greyed out if you have the network cable connected.

will this adaptor work with Humax 1000s

yes, it works on the following models - HB-1000S, HD NANO Conn@ct, HD-FOX T2, HD-FOX+, HDR-1000S, HDR-1003S, HDR-1010S, HDR-1800T, HDR-2000THDR-7500T, HDR-7510T, HDR-FOX T2, iCord Mini, iCord, iHDR-5200C, IRHD-5100C, IRHD-5300C, Tivumax

if you want freesat on more than 1 tv in the house, does each tv need a separate freesat box?

Usually you will need a Freesat box for each TV set in the house. This is so that each TV set has its own way of changing channels. If you all want to watch the same channel then you could just run a long cable from the box to the other TV set or plug it into some kind of media streaming device.

Will this update my humax freeview player

This is the dongle which will help you to get the Humax box on to the internet. Once this is plugged in, this will should allow the Humax to 'speak' to your router. I suggest that you use the connection at the rear of the Humax box and keep the front socket for adding an additional hard drive which will give you greater storage capacity. Once the machine is 'on' and running, use the hand set and go to 'MENU' and then go to 'SETTINGS' and select the option you wish. I mostly use 'Installation' to refresh the channels available in my area and occasionally 'System' to access other applications. I hope this helps. PS your will need a password usually either 0000 (zero) or 1234.

Plugged in and worked first time

Pugged in, set up easy, strong wi-fi signal and data rate. Actually this worked perfectly unlike the unit that was recommended alongside the humax

Works perfectly with Humax DVRs

Skightly expensive and only Wi-Fi low band but works perfectly with Humax digital Video recorders. Setup within the Humax firmware is compatible and easy. If you have a Humax you need this to complete the capabilities.

Works with Humax HDR1800T, but weak signal

Review of 'Whyfi' Humax compatibel wifi dongle WHY0002.Purchased for use with a Humax HDR1800T video recorder.It does work with the Humax, but when plugged directly into the USB socket on the back of the recorder (the only USB socket on this device), the signal it picks up is so weak that the connection is far too slow and unreliable to be usable.This is cured by using an extension lead to locate the dongle away from the Humax and TV.While locating the dongle at the back of the Humax, and beneath the TV is not ideal from a RF signal strength point of view, my phone (running 'Netgear Wifi Analytics' app) indicated a reasonably strong signal at the same location.However, with the use of a USB extension lead, all is working well.

Works with my Humax 1800-T

Plugged it into my Humax 1800-T and it connected to my WiFi router with the correct settings.My only reservation is that it is not immediately apparent which way up the dongle fits into the USB port. After trying it each way up (and a bit of 'gentle persuasion') it did connect snuggly.

Great Product. Recommended.

Works fine, easy to set up and half the price of a Humax-branded one. Well worth the money and it arrived next day by 1st class post included in the price. Recommended.

Poor Construction. Too weak.

Although this Dongle worked straight from the box it's construction let it down.

Did Not Work

This was easy to install, just plug in to my HUMAX box and nothing happened. I was using the device to pick up from my router which was only 5 metres away. Perhaps I was unlucky but I had a refund with no problem.
