| 1396683 | 2015-03-19 01:28:00 | I rang Spark with about the same thing last week and they got me to sign into my router page and they got me to change some settings in there then reboot, going a hell of a lot better now. I'm on fibre but I don't think that makes any difference. Fibre 1000 in about 6 weeks, whoooopppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. |

| 1396685 | 2015-03-19 02:02:00 | Copied the file to the Downloads folder (using Windows Explorer - Tablet - but when I go to the Downloads on the tablet, nothing shows up. I also have a copy on Tablet itself but again I cannot find it to activate.... sorry to be such a hassle. Lightbox told me to make sure I am on the NZ Playstore to get the Lightbox app - but no advice on how to ensure you are on the NZ site - I suspect when I got the tablet the Playstore app was already there and doubtless it is the US one... sigh.... |

| 1396687 | 2015-03-19 02:20:00 | We should probably continue this back in the other thread but; There is only one playstore, the device knows what country you are in. If you go to the playstore and search lightbox NZ and can't find the right app then it's being hidden from you because it thinks your device is not supported. You only see results for the device you search from. Also I linked the app from the store in an earlier post if you read this thread on the tablet you can click the link to go straight there. what I sent you is the install file someone has extracted from a supported tablet, it works on my nexus 7 but is buggy and crashes fairly often but then it's 3 years old and not officially supported. All I did was using windows explorer copy & paste the .apk file onto the tablet, I put it both in downloads and the main tablet root directory myself. Then I used ES File explorer to locate the file and clicked on it. I got a warning about installing from unkown sources and had to go into settings to enable that, went back, clicked again, lightbox installed. I can try again on my note3 to give you more samsung related instructions if you can't sort it out. what app are you using to try and find the file on your tablet ? |

| 1396688 | 2015-03-19 02:41:00 | Nope :-) www.dlink.com the picture was one with wifi (I guess), but was the wrong pic on that website page. I though it was a bit cheap, when the other brands wifi powerline kits are approx $100 more The way I read it the starter kit comes with a 309 and a 311. The 311 being the WiFi component - that's what the description indicates. You are right on the price being very low. I might hit up their support and ask I think. |

| 1396689 | 2015-03-19 02:42:00 | I forwarded your email to myself on my gmail account - this appeared on my tablet and I tried to install but got a message "there is a problem parsing the package".... any clues? | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1396690 | 2015-03-19 20:24:00 | Thanks for all the help, discussion etc. - think I might just buy an iPad today. Spark confirm that they are working to add more devices but it seems that at present the model I have is still out in the wilderness.... I did watch a couple of episodes of The Thick of It last night (on my Panasonic TV via a laptop) - hoped it would be an updated version of Yes Minister but regrettably it is not.... Illustrated the machinations which go on in Government but every other word began with "f" and it just wasn't anything like as humorous.... sigh.... | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1396691 | 2015-03-19 23:49:00 | Getting "an iPad" is not going to solve range issues with your WiFi, you'll still be sitting too far from it for it to be happy. You'd be better off replacing your router with a better quality one, the range on the default ones that Spark give away is mediocre at best. |
