I suspect my new Duo4K has a hardware problem - looking for confirmation. I have this box specifically for the inboard wifi adapter. I run OBH 4.3, but I suspect that's not important since I guess all images use the same hardware drivers. Configured correctly it will run for a time then the network stops (it may restart itself in 20-30 seconds - but that is rare). When this happens, from the menu restarting enigma 2 just loops, it needs a power cycle to restart. On restart it MAY bring the network back, but often doesn't, in these cases using menu/setup/network/device takes me directly to the LAN configuration - WIFI adapter not being present. Several power cycles may bring the wifi option back and start the network.

Am I correct in assuming that the hardware is the issue, and should be returned under warranty? Or any other ideas?

Thanks DD, but that tutorial is not relevant to Duo4K which has internal wifi adapter. As I stated the wifi is correctly set up (OBH 4.3 using DD's backup image), and may run for a day or two with no problems. However, it then has a fit of stopping, disappearing from the setup options, etc. etc. - a real pain in the rear. I thought it might be an overheating issue, but the image is returning a processor temp of 44 degrees C, so not an issue. That leaves me with a dodgy internal wifi adapter as my best guess. I will refer this to Vuplus UK and get their advice.
