Which Wi-Fi dongle can I use with STOR.E TV+?
Posted: 28-Feb-2012 00:52
 
Hi

I've a Stor.e Tv+ without the Wi-Fi dongle, and I'm going crazy!
I've tryed many wi-fi dongles, but without any result
It says "NO CONNECTION"
I've also tryed to call toshiba support, but the operator says to me who "I don't know how to solve your trouble" (!!!), and "the wi-fi dongle is not for sale individually" (!!!)

Can someone help me? Have you any further informations about a compatible wi-fi dongle?

Thanks!

Thanks

Hi

Found this specification sheet from Toshiba:
http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/Global/Manuals/Store/Datasheet/DATASHEET_STORE-TVplus.pdf
With STOR.E TV plus , you can easily playback your fi les from its internal hard disc drive or by streaming them from a computer or other external storage device over your home LAN or via an optional Wi-Fi USB dongle.

Found an USB WiFi dongle from Toshiba
Toshiba WLM-20U2
It supports IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and the supported encryption WEP (64 Bit), WEP (128 Bit), TKIP, AES, WPA, WPA2

Here you can find the official STOR.E TV+ page with links to the user manual and datasheet too.

Hi Paolo, many thanks for your answer

Many days ago, when I called the Toshiba support, the operator said to me who the WLM-20U2 is not sure if it works, because the original dongle of the stor.e tv+ is not the same to the WLM-20U2, and who "the stor.e tv+ works with any dongle, because the original dongle is not built by Toshiba" (!!!), but It's false!

However, the price of the WLM-20U2 is too expensive (about 45€)..

Could someone connect the Original dongle to the pc and tell to me the model of its chipset? Please...

Many, many, many thanks! Probably all wi-fi dongles with this chipset (RTL8191SU), works! I've buyed a "Edup EP-MS8512" with that chipset, and THIS WORKS!!!
