Connecting T3 to Wifi

Post by BP3 » Sat May 19, 2018 20:46

Can I use the WIZTV dongle to connect my T3 to my home network using wifi instead of an ethernet cable.

Also will it allow me to stream Netflix on my T3 from my wifi modem.

thanks

No, the WizTV is a separate media streaming device and doesn't communicate with the T3 directly.

You can stream Netflix on the WizTV itself, but that would not require the T3.

Note that you need a T4 or U4'S of you want to record anything from the WizTV since those devices have a HDMI input.

The WizTV can run a variety of Android applications and you could use it to stream recordings from the T3 to another location in your house if you wanted (using something like Kodi), bit you'd still need to set up a network connection for the T3 for that to work.

No, the WIZTV is a media dongle. You need a WIFI dongle. https://beyonwiz.com.au/accessories/wifi-dongles/

There is no Netflix product available for the T or U series, they lack the DRM requirements.
