My device is not detecting my internet connection, how do I fix it?
Network troubles can sometimes stall or 'buffer' your services making watching TV an unpleasant experience. In the rare case you experience network issues, we recommend checking the following:
- Check your WiFi quality
- Go to "Settings" -> "Info & Diagnostics" -> "General Diagnostics"
- If the quality is above 60% then it is okay. If it is lower, you can try to improve your WiFi network coverage.
- Check other on-demand services.
- Try using other on-demand apps. If other services are working fine, there may be a temporary problem with the on-demand app you're trying to use.
- Try rebooting your router, then your device
- Try switching off by unplugging your device from the mains. Wait 30 seconds before plugging it back in and switching on again.
- Still not working? Try doing the same with your Internet router. Wait 30 seconds before plugging it back in and switching on again.
Why are my on-demand videos buffering/stuttering?
All on-demand content (Prime Video, YouTube, Rakuten etc) are streamed from the internet just as you would watch on your PC/laptop. Streaming content in HD or UHD (4K) requires a strong internet connection and download speeds (20 Mbps+) to ensure best playback quality. We recommend plugging the Community Fibre TV device into your Linksys Velop with an Ethernet cable to ensure the best possible speeds our service provides and to avoid any network interference.
Why can't I see any LED light on my device?
If you're unable to see any LED lights on your TV box, please follow the steps below:
- Firstly, make sure your device is connected to the provided power cable which is plugged into a suitable power outlet.
- Try and change the power outlet of the power cable.
- Turn power outlet switch ON / OFF.
- Remove the power cable from the device and insert it in again.
What is the minimal Network bandwidth for UHD HDR streaming (4K)?
