How to Check the Connection Status of DirecTV (3 Steps)

You don’t need an internet connection to use DIRECTV. It’s a satellite TV service, so you can use any internet provider that’s available in your area. There are, however, one or two internet service providers (ISPs) that pair particularly well with DIRECTV.

Why are they so insistent that you connect over the internet? Honestly, it’s mostly so they can get marketing data from you. You can go to DIRECTV.com and change your privacy settings, but if you don’t do that, they’re making note of every single click of the remote, everything you watch, and everything you do.

1. Hit the “menu” button on the DirecTV remote control to check the connection status.
2. Select “help and settings” and then “setup” to check the connection status.
3. Select “network” and then “test connection” to get a connection status update.

DIRECTV’s wireless client doesn’t use your home’s Wi-Fi. Instead, it uses a special Wi-Fi network that isn’t used for any other purpose, and which operates slightly differently from normal Wi-Fi. The Wireless Video Bridge uses MIMO technology for the strongest allowable signal, just like our mesh networking products.

DIRECTV says, there can be a maximum of 80 feet and five interior walls between the Wireless Video Bridge and the C41W Wireless Genie Mini Client. Of course there are some things you need to know. The composition of your walls, and the things inside the walls.

Can I get DIRECTV internet? No, DIRECTV does not offer satellite internet service, but you can bundle DIRECTV with AT internet. DIRECTV is owned by AT, so if you live in an area with AT Internet, you can get both services and save $10 per month.

Reset the network connection on each receiver. If the receiver does not show that both Network and Internet are connected, or if Connect Now doesn’t not work, check your cable connections and reset the router and Broadband DECA. You should also unplug the SWM power inserter then plug it back in.

Press MENU on your remote. Select Settings > Internet Setup > Connect Now. If you’re reconnecting to the internet, select Reconnect Now. After the system checks the connection status, select Set Up Wireless.

Press the reset button Locate the reset button. On most DIRECTV receivers, there is a small red button located inside the access card door. With others, the button is on the side of the receiver. Press the red button, then wait for your receiver to reboot.

Once you’re logged in, click on ‘My Account’ (this will open up another window), select ‘Manage Services’, choose the package that’s connected with your internet connection, click on ‘Disconnect’ and then follow the instructions.

DIRECTV receivers range from super-fast to dog slow, and while sometimes the hardware is to blame, sometimes it’s your setup. These devices tend to slow down when there are a lot of errors, and while your receiver will tell you when the signal strength is poor, it won’t tell you when your internet is slow.

Typically, the DVR must be hard-wired using a LAN internet cable, but Netgear produces an adapter that can allow your DVR to communicate wirelessly with your router. Other WiFi adapters will not work because your DVR is not capable of downloading the necessary drivers that other WiFi adapters need.

Open up your Internet Browser and type in the new Static IP Address of the DVR in the address bar and press enter. The Web UI will be revealed. You may need to install the plugins and allow them to use this feature. After the plugins are installed on your computer allow the plugins to be run on this website.
