3 HR-24's and want to connect all three to internet
Hello,
This DTV DECA/CCK internet thing can really be overwhelming, way too many rabbit holes you can go down, but here is my config and I am hopeful I can get some help. I have three HR24's that I would like to connect to the internet, they are all three connected via swm technology and the 4 port splitter that feeds them is right next to my wifi router/modem in a closet. How can I get internet to "all three" IRD's via the 3 coax's that are connected to the boxes and terminate at the swm splitter that is 12" from the router/modem. This is not a whole home, just want to have internet on 3 HR24's!! Thank you SOOOO much for all your help

You have a SWM setup, but without Whole Home DVR? Traditionally the internet connection set by one HDDVR feeds all the other boxes through the SWM. Others will no doubt chime in with more specific connection details.
As a note, since you have 3 HDDVRs, do not accept any offer for the Genie-2 (HS17) as that would be sub-standard as replaces all boxes since they are not allowed. Just cautioning as some agents are really pushing that setup. If you ever consider an upgrade in the future, currently only a regular Genie (2nd/3rd gen HR44/HR54) replacing one (only one) of your HDDVRs. Go from a 2 tuner 500GB box to a 5 tuner 1TB. It does require Whole Home DVR (just $3 monthly) which allows all 3 of your boxes to access each other's recordings.

You need a DECA BB connected to the router by Ethernet cable and plug the power brick or USB into an A/C outlet or USB port then run coax to the SWM splitter, if there are no open ports then you have to get a 8way SWM splitter.

The two reply's really don't resolve my issue, can you plug the wireless cinema kit into one port on the swim splitter to feed ALL 3 HR's internet?

You didn't say you had a CCKW you just need to connect it inline with coax to any HR24
