Hi there
I've had the DVR for about 5 months now, but when I bought it from Malaysia, I did not know about the WiFi dongle.

Today, I've managed to pull an ethernet cable from the modem kept in another room.

So, I plug the cable into the DVR go to settings > Network and since mine is a wired network, look there to see the IP has been assigned 192.168.x.xx (don't remember the exact no.). I then turn on "Transmission" & "Samba" (don't know if that is required). I then exited settings and went to "Internet Media" ... forgot to mention, I use the 5440 firmware.

Under "Internet Media", I click on YouTube (the first icon) and then click on recent added or most viewed or any one of the options and all I get is "Network Congestion" ... what does that mean and why? Is it something to do with the settings? Should I change anything?

I can watch youtube comfortably on my laptop, so why and what is this network congestion coming from?

I even went to all the other media stuff like Video podcast, Mediafly, yahoo finance, etc ... nothing seems to be happening.

Any help to get me started will be really appreciated.

WOW!!! 46 views and no one has anything to help???

Anyways, got a friend of mine to help me out .... turned out that I had to use a fixed "Default Gateway". Wonder why!

Now, that that's solved, can someone tell me how I can sign into Youtube? I tried using my Gmail username and password, but sign in fails! Do I have to use a Youtube "Channel" username/password? Don't have one and was not interested in creating one, but if that's the way to go about it, so be it!

Please let me know

Thanks to the few odd viewers that popped in hoping to help me

Hello,

I'm glad you sorted your network issue, even if it required your friend to help!

Regarding YouTube and your log in issue, this is a known issue in our products that you can't log in to your account. You can still use the YouTube naturally, just not logging in. This must come with a firmware update to be fixed. At this point we have not gotten any timeline when this will be fixed.

Br,

Thanks Mikael for letting me know that the YouTube login problem is related to the firmware atleast I don't waste time trying all sorts of senseless options!
