Helo, everyone.

I have the similar problem to these thread http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/dreambox600/170644-slow-network-speed.html

My dreambox 600 is original not clone, I have verified this when I received it with the dreambox company.

I'm using Alfa Homeplug AHPE303 Starter Kit home plugs, I have tested this device with my laptop, I am geting full speed no slow down's.

I am using gemini image not sure which version I think is 4.7 I have installed this 1 years ago, my problem as you can see from the picture the gateway and nameserver works, my dreambox is not getting any IP and netmast fom the router, I have read somewhere factory reset might fix this issue, is there any other way, I dont want to loose all my channels saved on my bouquet.

thanks in advance.

Goto the routers web interface and allocate the dreambox an ip in the same range as your pc and the like i.e. 192.168.1.129 and make a note of the subnet mask

Next go back to that screen on your dreambox and untick DCHP and enter that ip you added to your router and add the subnet mask too, save it and reboot your DM and see if it works

Also, think about getting rid of the home plugs, they spew out sh*t all over the hf and shortwave radio bands and could be causing the problem too

Thank you both for your fast reply and help,

@smoggy07 how do I allocate the dreambox an ip my router automaticly allocates this. I have also played around with Ip's and all the setting still same.
@MARK whats the best way to backup everythink all my saved bouquet, there is an option under Blue-Panel -> Extras/Setup - ‘created Backup' would this work.

I'm using netgear super hub router that come with my virgin media, I don't think the problem is the homeplug's because it is working fine on my laptop, I downloaded a test file visual studio from microsoft server I'm getting around 3.5Mb/s using homeplug.

when I goto addons, and select download (gemini-server), it connects online gets updates from the server and I can install is well, I can ftp into my dreambox the max speed I get is 50-60kbs, when I try to watch from my pc via streaming using vlc I can get the apid to work is only audio but vpid streaming shows for less then a second then blank screen, the reason for this is I'm only getting 50-60kb/s from my dreambox.

this is the info show'n on my router, under basic settings.
