Dave: Perfect, the Windows driver works like a charm! I had to go though installing without driver signatures, but http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-can-i-install-hardware-with-unsigned-drivers-in-windows-8/ has a useful guide in case anybody else wants to try. I had to reset my core before it was recognised by my computer (MODE button held for 10 seconds) and after plugging it in and installing the driver it was fine.
zach: I tried to use the AES key with Smart Config, but still no success. I’m hoping to test with an Android phone soon to see if it’s my network acting up.
