    Not all new IPTV boxes can use wireless networking

    A client of mine who has recently got a FetchTV box from Optus had trouble connecting it to their home network.
    He said that powerline networking adaptors were out of the question because (what Optus did not tell them) that powerline networking adaptors cannot connect to units on another power phase .
    According to FetchTV, there was no wireless dongle option (despite the box having a USB connector at the back), but FetchTV did say that a wireless bridge option is available.
    I found the starting price of a wireless bridge (locally) was around $75.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

    You can get a cheap DD-WRT compatible router and convert that to a wireless bridge.

      TRENDnet TEW-434APB boxes are quite nice little multifunction things. Full of Teapo caps though.
