Equipment: i-link 9000+, Verizon evdo, Cradlepoint ctr500 & Vonets vpa11g.

Hard wire from router to receiver- tv works fine with DHCP w/o vonets.
Router is setup with WPA2 & AES as Woodystride post suggests. I know the password is setup correctly because my laptop can get online through the router using Vonets.

When I power on the receiver without power to router i only get the orange light on the vonets. When I plug in the router I get both orange and the blue lights on the vonets and with DHCP turned on it populates the network page (using Vonets):
Lan IP address (xxx.xxx.x.xxx)
Lan net mask (xxx.xxx.xxx.x)
Default gateway (xxx.xxx.x.x)
Primary DNS server (same as default gateway)
Secondary DNS server (all zero's)
User DNS server (all zero's)
Mac Address (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx)
All with the correct information so I know the receiver/Vonets is talking to router the same as the direct wire but the tv is scrambled.
Now I change to STATIC as Cheezed suggests in post # 9 on Limesat Ultra Discussions and saved then rebooted everything. Vonets shows the flashing orange & blue lights like their communicating but the tv is still scrambled.
Did I miss something? Should I have changed some address when I switch to STATIC?

Thanks and any Ideas would be welcome.

Had the receiver off from the backside toggle all day while at work but unplugged it for 5 minutes just to make sure. Plugged everything in with it on dchp it auto loaded all the ip info and...... now everything works perfectly!
I thought i had read every post on Vonets and spent a couple of hours fiddling with it; sometimes it's the simple things.

Thank you very much for the reply and advice.
