MAG IPTV Set-Top Boxe fails to connect
Hi guys,
I need help because I am getting very frustrated with this situation. I have just bought a MAG 254 which is an IPTV box basically to watch TV. I have tried to set up wifi connection but for some reasons it fails connecting to my network. I assume there is a problem with my router settings but I can't see what.
I found in the LOGS section in the advance settings this:
WLAN access rejected: incorrect security] from MAC 7C:DD:90:C2:E1:33, Saturday, Oct 01,2016 06:50:26
but I don't know the reason. I have 4 other devices connected to my network and they are all working ok. I remember having an issue connecting my printer as well and I ended up using a router PIN to make it conenct but I can't do that trick with this IPTV box.
any suggestions ??
thanks a lot
Be sure you are entering the Wi-Fi password correctly. Wi-Fi passwords are case-sensitive.
Other than that, make sure the MAG 254 is using the same form of Wi-Fi security as the router (e.g. WPA, WPA2).
