yeah these wifi dongles work okay, but sometimes they lose connection and the box may need to be rebooted, sometimes the dongle "vanishes" and you may have to take it out of usb socket then reserted.
i think if you reboot the box you may not have to remove and resert.
you could try a home plug that fits in power socket.

Thanks for reply.
I wonder: will every WiFi dongle using Ralink RT5370 chipset work well with Skybox F3?
For instance: EDUP EP-N8531 (DX SKU: 170154) = 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n 150Mbps USB Wireless Wi-Fi Network Adapter
Currently, I solved the problem with a D-Link DIR-505 WiFi Repeater, which is working OK but is more expensive than a dongle.

trust me even with a good signal you get ms time lapses with wifi which causes freezing when the box is trying to talk to server. you would have to try different ralink chipset dongles to see but i dout all will work as they will only put minimual drivers in the firmware just enough to get their own brand dongles to work. at the end of the day these are throw away boxes at that price
