Connecting Your DISH DVR to the Internet

Set Up Broadband

We encourage you to always connect your receiver to your broadband service in order to:

1. Keep critical receiver data current
2. Access thousands of online titles
3. Order pay-per-view using your remote control.

There are several ways to connect to broadband service:

• With an Ethernet Cable
• With a Power Line Broadband Connector

Use if your receiver is not close to your modem/router and you do not have a wireless router. The Power Line Broadband Connector allows multiple receivers to connect to your broadband service through the power cord and the electrical wiring in your home. Visit dish.com/myorders to purchase a Power Line Broadband Connector.

• With a Wifi Broadband Connector

Use if your receiver is not close to your modem/router and you have a wireless router and a model 222k, 612, 622, 722, or 722k receiver (check the model name of on the front of your receiver or go to dish.com/myequipment). The Wifi Broadband Connector allows one receiver to connect to your broadband service using your wireless network. Visit dish.com/myorders to purchase a Wifi Broadband Connector.
