I have a VIP 211k receiver on my boat, which works very well. I could have a little more functionality if it was connected to the internet and I have wifi internet on board so it's possible, I thought. I did online research and learned that my 211k receiver could accommodate a wireless adapter in the USB port in the back. I found the proper adapter on ebay, Netgear WDNA 3100 V2, bought it and even though I inserted it and the adapter's blue light came on, there was no indication on screen that the receiver was receiving internet, nothing asking me to select a Wi-Fi network, etc. Now, I've read older posts here that indicate that 211k never could get wifi. I would love a definitive answer.
Wireless on VIP211k?

I don’t think any vip211 series receivers support any wifi adapters. The Wally receiver has wifi adapter support.

They can definitely be connected to internet and support usb wifi adapters. It's been so long since we've messed with it though I'm not sure if certain wifi adapters are incompatible.
But using your remote go to menu>6>1>9>1 and see if there's a wifi option

IIRC the Wally supports iVOD; the 211 series does not. What would WiFi on a 211 accomplish?
The interactive apps like Weather, My Account, games....
No, it's an app that looks like it's playing on an OG Atari
