Connecting your Sky±HD box to your broadband router
If your Sky±HD box has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity (DRX890W and
DRX895W models only), then simply connect it to your broadband
router via Wi-Fi to start enjoying On Demand including Catch Up TV.
It can be connected to a wide variety of broadband routers from
any broadband provider. There are three ways of connecting your
Sky±HD box to your broadband router using Wi-Fi.
Firstly, check if your broadband router has a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup) button
.

2 seconds.

Within one minute press the WPS button
on the front panel
of your Sky±HD box. Your Sky±HD box should connect to your
broadband router automatically.

If your broadband router does not have a WPS button, or you don’t

If your Sky±HD box does not have built-in Wi-Fi then you can still
connect to your broadband router via Wi-Fi using an On Demand
Connector. Visit sky.com/ondemand to find out more. You can
also connect any Sky±HD box to your broadband router using an
Ethernet cable.
When connecting your Sky±HD box to your broadband router via
Wi-Fi, please ensure you have enabled security on your wireless
network and that a strong password has been set. Please also
ensure that you only share your wireless network password with
trusted people as connecting your Sky±HD box will allow certain
other devices (with Sky software or applications installed) on
your wireless network to access information on your Sky±HD
box, such as a list of your Planner recordings.
