 USING YOUR WIRELESS JOEY ACCESS POINT WITH 
YOUR HOPPER® RECEIVER AND WIRELESS JOEY™ INSTALLATION  CONFIGURATIONS
IF YOU’RE HAVING PROBLEMS CONNECTING  
TO YOUR RECEIVER
• If the Wireless Joey Access Point doesn’t find the Wireless Joey while both are in 
WPS mode, put both devices into WPS mode and try again. If the two devices still 
do not connect to each other, they could be out of range. Reposition the devices and 
put both into WPS mode to see if they connect. Check for a stronger connection 
indication.
• If video is not streaming to the Wireless Joey, check the Wireless Joey’s connection 
to the Hopper.  Check all the cable connections from the reflector to the Wireless 
Joey, ensuring they are secure and hand-tightened.
• If all the connections are good and the Connection Strength indicator is good and 
yet there are still streaming issues, it could be there is interference from other 5G 
devices, such as a microwave or a cell phone or even a neighbor’s wireless network.  
Try repositioning the Wireless Joey and/or the Wireless Joey Access Point (if 
possible) to avoid the interference.
• If the Connection Strength indicator is low, reposition the devices.   
• If all the devices are working and they suddenly are not working, unplug all the 
devices and then power them back up to reestablish connections.  
If these tips do not work, please look for technical information on our website at  
http://www.mydish.com.
