Thanks done, rude not to as its free, so what is it just a wifi card for the box, so you don't need an rj45.

Pretty much yes, its a little black box which apparently has to sit close to the Sky box.

if anyone ordered one and doesn't need it, i could give it a happy home, i need another for my second box (trust message)

hmmmm tried to do this the other day and came up as £22 one off cost, just tried again and with the link from brenn and now its free ??

Ordered one of these this morning as I'm needing my box to go wireless, was going to pay the £22 until I saw the offer :cool:

A[L]C · 10 Jun 2013 at 18:15

Can't see the offer

edit: spoke to their online chat and they pointed me in the right direction. Thanks OP

Thanks for the heads up, have ordered!

Glaucus · 10 Jun 2013 at 21:42

It's arrived and works well.

I didnt think about this when I had the router put downstairs, it used to be upstairs.
Now just need to sort out bedroom tv and desktop.

Thanks for the link, ordered one on Saturday.

Had a phone call from sky asking how my services with them are and it so happened that i wasn't in a great mood with them as they have changed their email client over to Yahoo and i mentioned i no longer can send group emails. they were apologetic and they offered me a free wireless connector.
So if you have any complaints with sky at the moment it shouldn't take much effort to get one of these wireless boxes for free. Just give them a ring, complain and ask for one.

But if they are giving them away free anyway I would want more from them if I complained

appears under My Sky / Upgrade / Offers

i just had sky installed today and i could order one of these for free after it was activated.

I've been waiting 10 weeks for mine, and the incompetent CS monkeys just repeat the same script over and over when I contact them to enquire when/if it will ever arrive.

Not to be dumb but what's the main point of this? Currently got my router cabled into the back of the sky box, struggling to see what extra this does?

funnily enough a wireless connector lets your equipment connect wirelessly

unclelonghair · 12 Jun 2013 at 22:26

You don't need it if you have your box hard wired. It just allows you to connect to your router wirelessly. My router is as far away in my house as it is possible to get from my Sky box, so hardwired is not an option for me unless I buy some powerline adapters.

Psycho Sonny · 13 Jun 2013 at 10:15

anyone who ordered a box through the link on the site, how long did it take to arrive?

HecFam · 13 Jun 2013 at 10:27

Mine didn't take long at all, i ordered it on the Third or Forth I think. Came on the Saturday the Eighth.

flasher · 13 Jun 2013 at 19:16

Got mine within a week from ordering, could come in handy if I ever go multi room as I use power line adaptors at the moment.
