If your Magbox or IPTV box is modern and supports 5Ghz WiFi networks - it should be as simple as connecting to Pyramid Pi in Network Settings

🔌 Wired Connection to MagBox

To connect MAG Box with a wired connection:

Firstly, connect an ethernet cable from the port on Pyramid to the LAN port on the back of Magbox.

Make sure the port on Pi is set to LAN. On Pyramid App go to Settings > Network Settings > LAN (WAN/Port) and set it to LAN

  1. On MAG Box, go to Settings then System Settings.

  2. Tap on Network.

  3. Tap Wired (Ethernet)

  4. Choose Auto (DHCP)

You should be all set 👍

Pro Tip: Pi is fastest when wired to your router which is not possible when using the single ethernet port for your Magbox (as described above).

Fortunately, there are ways to add an additional port so you can have wired WAN & LAN (see here for more info and tips on how to do that)

Step-2 - Pair Pyramid with MAG Box

  1. On MAG Box, go to Settings then System Settings.

  2. Tap on Network.

  3. Tap Wireless (Wi-Fi)

  4. Choose Auto (DHCP)

  5. Choose your Pyramid network from the list

  6. Keep authentication mode unchanged at WPA2 PSK and Encryption as AES

  7. Enter your wifi password in the Key or passphrase field (default is OnlineFreedom1)

  8. Tap ‘Ok’ to save

Having trouble accessing IPTV, try these steps: Important: An ISP (such as Sky, BT etc) cannot block content when you are connected to Pyramid VPN. We also recommend connecting to UK if you are in the UK.

More Tips:

  • It may be worth contacting your IPTV provider to let them know you are using a VPN as some require registration of the VPN IP address as some providers block IP addresses to prevent log-in sharing.

Make sure Pyramid is connected to VPN (the green LED light is on). If it’s not open the Pyramid app select a server

  • Open the browser on MAG Box to test that websites are loading. If they are not but they work fine on other Pyramid-connected devices please try the setup steps again.

Finally, If your MAG Box model supports WiFi but you are connecting with a cable, it may not choose your wired connection as default.

To make sure MAG Box defaults to your wired connection:
Go to Settings > System Settings > Network > Wireless (Wi-Fi) > Auto (DHCP) then turn of WiFi (typically by pressing the red F1 button on the remote).That’s all folks!
