I gather from the threads that you need a USB WiFi adapter (Humax's own is always mentioned).

However can you use one from, say, Netgear?

I only ask because I have three of these sitting around doing nothing at present, and am thinking of getting a Humax box to replace my old Silvercrest box which is beginning to be rather sick.

There is a Edimax one with the same chipset that is said to work with the HDR FOX T2 (it's the same dongle for the HDR-1000s).

As with any new box, it's hard to say unless someone has tried a certain make/model of wi-fi adapter and confirmed that it works.
