How do I connect my Joey to my TV wirelessly?
Connect one end of either the HDMI cable or the RCA cables that came with the Wireless Joey to the corresponding port(s) on the receiver. Then, connect the other end of your chosen cable(s) to the corresponding port on your television.
Joey, 4K Joey, or Super Joey
Connect an Ethernet cable* from the Ethernet port on your wall or router to the matching port on the back of your Joey receiver. Connect the other required cables to your Joey: Coaxial cable from wall port. HDMI cable from TV.
Go to the room where your Joey is located. Press the “Home” button on your remote three times. Scroll down and select “Whole Home.” Use the arrow buttons to highlight your Hopper and press “Select” twice. The linking process may require up to a minute to take effect.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature supplied with many routers. It is designed to make the process of connecting to a secure wireless network from a computer or other device easier.
- WiFi Network. Make sure that your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- TV Settings. Go to the input menu on your TV and turn on “screen mirroring.”
- Android Settings. ...
- Select TV. ...
- Establish Connection.
The access point connects to AC power and to one of the ethernet ports on the back of the Hopper. Each Wireless Joey client connects to the TV using an HDMI cable, and it will automatically connect to the Hopper as soon as the Wireless Joey is plugged into an AC outlet.
All Joey receivers automatically connect to the internet when your Hopper receiver is connected. This allows Joeys access to applications that require an internet connection, like Pandora and Netflix.
Expand your TV universe with the Wireless Joey, a wireless TV receiver from DISH that brings the functionality of your Hopper DVR to other TVs in your house. You can pair up to three Joeys with your Hopper DVR and watch live, recorded, and on-demand programming anywhere you have a TV.
The WPS feature should be disabled when it is not in use to prevent cybersecurity threats or unwanted devices from connecting to your home network. The WPS feature can be turned off or disabled by logging into your router's settings, under Wireless Setup. Look for WPS and select “WPS Off”.
Connection at the Press of a Button
WPS is a convenient way to connect your devices to your router, but it can pose a security risk. It's a good idea to turn off WPS functionality once all your devices are connected and allow guests to connect via a guest network so your private devices stay safe.
What happens if I press the WPS button?
The WPS button simplifies the connection process
Press the WPS button on your router to turn on the discovery of new devices. Then, go to your device and select the network you want to connect to. The device is automatically connected to the wireless network without having to enter the network password.
Restart your smart TV and Wi-Fi router
A restart will refresh the settings on your smart TV without erasing any of your data. Just unplug your smart TV, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. To restart your Wi-Fi router, unplug it, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in too.

To check if your TV is a smart TV, use your TV remote to go to the Settings menu and look for Network Settings. If you have that option, you can scan for, and connect to, your wireless network. Alternatively, you can look for the Wi-Fi symbol or Wi-Fi Alliance logo (both pictured below) on your TV.
- Connect the HDMI cable to the external device first, then connect it to the TV.
- If your issue persists, try using another HDMI port. ...
- ㆍTry replacing your HDMI cable.
The only difference between this and a wired Joey, is the speed the Guide works. On the Hopper 3 and other wired Joey, the Guide will page the stations as fast as I scroll. On the Wireless, there is a slight delay, but it works. The picture is great, no wires (except for a power supply and the HDMI cable).
The WAP employs an auto channel jumping and selection process to avoid interference with other wireless networks that may be set up in the 5GHZ space. Figure 1 shows the traditional setup with Ethernet cable hardwired into the WAP from the Hopper, with a maximum distance of 328 feet.
- DISH Wireless Joey Receiver.
- 54.0 Remote.
- Power Supply.
- HDMI Cable.
- Important Product Information.
The Wireless Joey does require a DISH Hopper Wireless Access Point. This is essentially a wireless router configured to exclusively connect with up to three Wireless Joeys. It creates a secure, private network for the (up to) 3 Wireless Joeys to connect to using the 802.11ac protocol.
No, you can't use a Joey without the hopper. The Hopper is the main tuner and the Joey is just a remote receiver. If you have a triple LNB antenna, you can record one channel and watch another with a Wally and hard drive or record two channels at a time.
If your Joey is not connected to the Internet, call 1-800-333-DISH (3474) to activate it with a DISH agent. You will need the Receiver ID and Smart Card ID located on the Activation screen. Review the Summary screen. Any fields with green checkmarks are complete, and yellow fields are steps that need your attention.
Why is my wireless not connecting?
Check to see if moving your device closer to your router helps you connect. If you normally have a strong signal in rooms far away from your router but suddenly can't connect, take your device closer to your router. If it can pick up a signal in a closer room, you may need a Wi-Fi extender.
Restarting your modem and router should be the first thing you do when encountering an internet signal issue. Don't skip this step! This is almost always what tech support will ask you to try first, as it often solves the problem. To restart your equipment, unplug the power cable for 60 seconds and plug it back in.
