Troubleshooting

1. First make sure that your device has the latest Firmware by checking for a new update.
2. If an update is available, try loading Pandora again once the update is complete.
3. If you're still having the same problem, then please try a few standard network troubleshooting steps:
   • Try connecting directly via an Ethernet cable rather than wirelessly (if you have this option on your device), and see if it works better.
   • Try rebooting your modem and router and restarting the device.
   • Try removing and re-adding the app (if this is possible on your device).

You can also directly contact the manufacturer to troubleshoot your specific device and settings.
