Welcome to our guide on how to reset your DSTV WiFi Connector. The DSTV WiFi Connector is a convenient device that connects your decoder to your home internet, allowing for easy access to DSTV Catch Up, Box Office and Showmax. However, like all electronic devices, it can sometimes experience technical difficulties. In this guide, we will take you through the steps required to reset your DSTV WiFi Connector.
The first step is to locate the reset button on your DSTV WiFi Connector. This button is usually located on the side or back of the device and is typically a small, recessed button that requires a pin or paperclip to press.
Using a pin or paperclip, press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds. You should see the lights on the device start flashing rapidly, indicating that the reset process has begun.
Step 3: Wait for the Device to Restart
After holding the reset button for 10 seconds, release it and wait for the DSTV WiFi Connector to restart. This can take up to a minute, so be patient and allow the device to complete its restart process.
Step 4: Reconnect the Device to Your WiFi Network
Once the DSTV WiFi Connector has restarted, you will need to reconnect it to your home WiFi network. To do this, press and hold the WPS button on your WiFi router until the light starts flashing. Then, press and hold the WPS button on the DSTV WiFi Connector until its lights also start flashing. This should sync the two devices and allow the Connector to connect to your internet network.
