Usually For SRT 4669 or other newer Strong decoder models, ... The network of your router is usually located on a sticker at the back of your router



These methods are all proven and stress-free, and every technology enthusiast, every satellite hobbyist.



First of all, items you would need for this configuration include the following :

1. Dreambox/Strong SRT 4669 Z or any HD Digital Satellite Receiver (decoder) with a LAN or port

2. Laptop with Windows 7

3. RJ-45 LAN cable

4. Huawei SIM Router -(as attached) -N12,000

5. Flash driver /USB stick

Now let’s move on to the real thing.

1. First of all, be sure your Decoder is all set and working.

2. Insert you flash drive into the USB slot in front or behind your decoder.

3. Now connect you mobile broadband router to your laptop and connect It the usual way you do for browsing. Be sure the link is up and test a page by running an ICMP echo ping request on the network.

4. When you are certain everything is okay and packet flow is smooth, connect your RJ 45 LAN cable to your laptop’s Ethernet port.

5. Now connect the other end of the RJ45 to your decoder’s Ethernet port, usually
located at the back or the right side of most decoders. The Ethernet connection led should blink so you can be sure of proper connection of the cable.

6. When all that is done, you would have to now turn to your T.V and hit menu on your remote control of your decorder. Select SYSTEM SETTINGS, then go to IP SETTINGS.

7. Usually what you would see next should be something like this:

DHCP USAGE – ON
IP ADDRESS – some dotted zeros
SUBNET MASK – 255.0.0.0
GATEWAY – some dotted zeros
MAC ADDRESS – an address that defines the unique id of you Receiver’s LAN card

Down below on the left or right corner of the screen, you should see a prompt “ press to obtain IP address. Usually on an SRT 4669 or other newer Strong decoder models, all you would have to do is straightaway press the recall/red button and wait for DHCP to assign an automatic IP ADDRESS. Depending on how several factors, this process of waiting could take sometime.

8. If however, after waiting for a reasonable period of time a unique IP is not assigned to your device you would be required to key in the settings manually after you have set “DHCP USAGE” to “OFF”

9. IP ADDRESS : 192.168.1.100 (You can use any Private IP address provided it falls within the same range/network of your router. The network of your router is usually located on a sticker at the back or side of your router. For example, If you realized you router has this address at the back as its IP 192.168.0.254, that would mean that, your network is 192.168.0, and therefore the last digit which would actually identify your decoder would be any value between 1 and 253. You could have something like this 192.168.0.75 as the Static IP for your decoder.
SUBNET MASK : 255.255.255.000 (This must always be maintained in this format)
GATEWAY : 192.168.1.1 (This is the same as the IP address located at the back of your router)
DNS : same as GATEWAY

When this is done, save and exit the page.

You can now begin exploring the Internet Radio by different genres (SRT users, go to storage, select internet radio or online weather service), scan and enjoy as many as you want for free. You can also browse through YouTube videos, and also enjoy the Internet Weather Service for any city in the world. By pressing MENU and navigating to ENTERTAINMENT, you would find options for free IPtv, Youtube Google, Internet Radio and Weather Services.
