Internet connection

Will any of my receivers work on a wireless internet connection. Like a wireless Ethernet Card that plugs into the port on the back of my DRV?

No. No drivers in your receivers to make that happen.

 

[Lanarian]

no, but they do have the CCCK-W (Cinema Connection Kit - Wireless). It connects to your internet wirelessly, and talks to the receivers over the coax line.

You can use a Wireless to Ethernet bridge.

Plug into PC and configure it, then plug the RJ45 into the receiver, and plug the USB into the receiver to use the receiver to power it.

The CCK is the same as a bridge ( non-confrontational to TechGuru, just clarifying). The CCK Bridges from the wireless (or wired, there are both versions) network to the coax network.
The problem with other methods is that if you plug a network cable (other than from a DECA) into the back of the Receiver, it shuts down the coax network adapter thats built into the receiver (NOTE: Only applies to H24's, HR24's H25's and HR34's).

Ooops, that only causes a problem if you have Whole Home. Readers digest version: It shuts down Whole Home

I have 2 DVR's in my Livingroom, One in the Master bedroom and one the in my bedroom ( is the only one connected to the internet.)
I have a long house 90' so it's a little hard to run ethernet cables to the other 3 units. Thats why I asked. I would like to connect the other 3 units up to the internet.
So what does it cost for 3 (Cinema Connection Kit - Wireless)?

Thanks Guys.

I would get SWM and DECA and just network it over the coax. Wireless that far isn't going to be all that reliable.
