Can anyone tell me what broadband adapter would allow me to connect my Dish 211Z receiver to the internet? I understand the correct one would plug into the USB port. I got confused when looking at connectors specific to some receivers, others naming Windows 7, 8, 10 etc. Last resort I will call Dish. Thanks for any information.

The internet use of the 211 receivers I have been told is very limited. I have never hooked an internet connection to my 211k, so I have no idea if I would get any use. I have a Firestick to get Dish Anywhere, because the vip 211k receivers will not work with the app.

The broadband adapter is available for $25 from dish..Not sure why you would want to connect a 211z... it's only going to let you purchase ppv by being connected to the internet...
