Wireless receiver
I have a wireless receiver in my garage. There is a coax connection from the dish in the garage. How do I set up the wireless Genie receiver currently connecting wirelessly to the main receiver to use the coax from the dish instead?

What is the receiver model? If it is a Gemini then it can be configured via a coaxial connection by buying a DECA to transfer the ethernet connection of the Gemini to a coaxial connection toward the Genie receiver.
Otherwise, the other Genie wireless receivers (C41W, C61W) are unable to be made into a wired client, so you’d need to request one from directv to replace the current wireless receiver. This would cost $19.95 (the shipping cost) or if you have the Protection Plan, the cost for a replacement wired client is FREE. Definitely be sure to tell the agent when you call in that you want a Gemini receiver to replace the current box with (if the current box is a wireless Genie client unable to be made into a wired client).

You would also need a SWM splitter, DTV recommends only 8 splits
