Solutions for some Common Problems
1) Trouble connecting the radio to a Wi-Fi network:
A) Make sure that a Wi-Fi network or hard wired Ethernet connected PC / Laptop can access the internet and
is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the radio
B) A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server must be available on the PC/Laptop or a Static IP
(Internet Protocol) address must be assigned to the radio by using the following procedure:
• Search the internet for instructions on “how to get an IP address”
• From the Home location on the radio select the Configuration function, Network, Manual Configuration,
Wireless and DCHP to turn it off. A display will appear so that the static IP address can be assigned to the
radio.
C) Make sure the PC/Laptop firewall is not blocking the port used by the radio.
D) Sometime access points (ports) are configured such that to connect to it devices must have their MAC
address assigned to it. If this is the case the display will show a message of “Bad ESSID or Key”. To resolve
this problem obtain the radio’s MAC address using the Information Center function and enter it into the
Access Point allowed devices list.
E) If the Wi-Fi network is using “Encryption” make sure that the correct “Key” or “Passphrase” have been
8
entered into the radio. To re-enter from Home location go to Configuration function, Network, Wireless
Configuration and select the correct Wi-Fi network.
2) Successfully connected to the internet but unable to play particular stations:
A) The station may be in a different time zone and not streaming at this time.
B) The station server is overloaded (too many listeners) or reached the maximum allowable listeners and
cannot accept new listeners at this time.
C) The station is no longer streaming or its URL (internet address) is out of date. For these problems contact
MediaU (the service provider) at mediayou.net/web/index.php.
3) Trying to use the UPnP Function:
If a PC is not shown on the list of available servers on the Radio make sure that the radio is connected to the
Wi-Fi network and there are no password or other access point problems.
4) The radio stops playing for short periods intermittently and then continues playing:
The radio uses a data “Buffer” that is filled with streaming music data before the radio starts playing to remove
short term interruptions in the data stream. If the broadband internet connection is too slow or suffering from
excessive error rates the buffer will become empty causing the music to stop playing until it is refilled. To
overcome this problem increase the size of the buffer using the Configuration function.
