Hello Is it possible to connect the funbox with a tuner via WiFi? Is the only thing left to drag the cable, which would be very troublesome for me. Is it possible to use an Access Point that would stand next to the tuner and connect it with a cable. Will this solution work?

Unfortunately, this tuner does not have WiFi, remains UTP or Akces Point. Such a tuner connects to a designated socket in the router that allows access to the tuner, while in the case of Access Point, a colleague will have to purchase two devices, one for the tuner, the other for the router and configure the connection between them as a Bridge. In this configuration, you can watch TV channels without an antenna. Sic! However, a UTP cable is a better solution.

And what are other solutions? Because I read that you can also connect via Liveplug

I tested this invention once and I was rather unhappy because most of the home appliances have converters and unfortunately they sow into the mains, which affects the quality of the internet signal sent through the power cords. Sometimes it broke up several times a day and sometimes it worked for several weeks without any problems. Nevertheless, a friend can try. It's just that I wonder if it is not a waste of money, since you can use cheaper devices offering Access Point and Bridge.

I used a TL-WA701ND once and it worked.

So now I read that the Sagemcom UHD 80 tuner has wifi and it is possible to connect wirelessly. Link

A friend has a UHD tuner and in the link given above we have WHD and this is a completely different tuner and actually has Wi-Fi

Yes. I mean WHD. And I will try for this model in Orange

In the title of the topic, a colleague gave UHD 80, you can see that today the colleague has changed his name. Oh, not nice ...

I changed the name so as not to mislead the topic. So this was what I called WHD.

Correction. It goes from post # 9 for the sake of accuracy, and this changes the form of things, that the above posts have lost their meaning and are misleading readers

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers around connecting the Sagemcom WHD 80 tuner to a Funbox router via WiFi. Initially, it was noted that the tuner lacks WiFi capability, necessitating a wired connection or the use of an Access Point. Users discussed the potential of using LivePlug technology, although experiences indicated inconsistent performance. As the conversation progressed, it was clarified that the Sagemcom WHD 80 does indeed have a built-in WiFi module, allowing for wireless connectivity without the need for additional cables or devices. Recommendations for Access Point devices included the TL-WA701ND, which was previously tested successfully.

FAQ

TL;DR: Access‑point bridge needs 2 devices; "a UTP cable is a better solution." For Funbox‑to‑Sagemcom setups, we compare Wi‑Fi, bridge, and powerline options for reliability. This FAQ guides Orange Funbox + Sagemcom WHD 80 owners to the simplest, stable link. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]

Why it matters: You’ll pick the fastest, least‑painful way to get IPTV working without rewiring your home.

Quick Facts

Sagemcom WHD 80 has built‑in Wi‑Fi; no Ethernet or Liveplug is required to connect. [Elektroda, Jankesik, post #17279905]
A wireless bridge needs 2 access points: one at the router, one at the tuner. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]
Powerline/Liveplug can suffer noise from appliances; stability ranged from daily drops to weeks OK. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17271180]
TP‑Link TL‑WA701ND worked for a user as the wireless link device. [Elektroda, raftronik, post #17272681]
When wiring, use the router’s designated tuner/IPTV port if available. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]

Can the Sagemcom WHD 80 connect to an Orange Funbox over Wi‑Fi?

Yes. The WHD 80 includes a built‑in Wi‑Fi module. You can join the Funbox’s Wi‑Fi directly. No Ethernet or Liveplug is required. [Elektroda, Jankesik, post #17279905]

How do I link the tuner wirelessly using access points?

Create a two‑device bridge. Place one AP at the Funbox and another by the tuner. Connect the tuner to the second AP via Ethernet and bridge the APs. How‑To: 1. Set AP1 at the router in AP/bridge mode. 2. Set AP2 near the tuner in client/bridge mode. 3. Wire tuner→AP2 and pair AP1↔AP2. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]

Which Funbox port should I use when wiring the tuner?

Use the router’s designated tuner/IPTV socket, if present. That port provides access tailored for the set‑top box. It is intended for the TV service. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]

Is a wired UTP connection better than Wi‑Fi or powerline?

Yes. "A UTP cable is a better solution." Wired links avoid wireless and mains noise issues. Choose Ethernet if you can pull a cable. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]

Are Liveplug/powerline adapters reliable for this setup?

Results vary with electrical noise. Many appliances inject interference into mains wiring. "Sometimes it broke up several times a day and sometimes it worked for several weeks." Expect uneven uptime with powerline. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17271180]

Is an access‑point bridge cheaper than buying Liveplug?

Yes. The poster advised choosing cheaper AP devices set as a bridge over Liveplug. That avoids spending on a solution that may be unstable. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17271180]

Can I watch TV without an antenna using a bridge or cable?

Yes. With an AP bridge or Ethernet, the tuner receives IPTV from the Funbox. "You can watch TV channels without an antenna." [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]

What access point has users confirmed works with Funbox and this tuner?

TP‑Link TL‑WA701ND was reported working by a forum user. It served as the wireless link in their setup. [Elektroda, raftronik, post #17272681]

Does the WHD 80 actually have built‑in Wi‑Fi, or was that only UHD?

The correction clarified model names. "We have WHD and this is a completely different tuner and actually has Wi‑Fi." Verify your model is WHD 80. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17273106]

I followed a WHD guide for a UHD tuner—what changed?

UHD and WHD are different tuners. Guidance about the WHD’s built‑in Wi‑Fi will not apply to UHD. Match advice to your exact model. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17273106]

How many devices do I need for a wireless AP bridge?

Two. One access point near the Funbox and one by the tuner. Bridge them together for the IPTV link. This 2‑device setup is required. [Elektroda, cooltygrysek, post #17270301]

If my WHD 80 connects over Wi‑Fi, do I need extra hardware?

No. Its built‑in Wi‑Fi handles the link to the Funbox. You do not need Liveplug or additional access points. [Elektroda, Jankesik, post #17279905]
