again – most of the time switching the power off/on clears
the problem. Take every care not to cause any problem
with your system – if not sure consult the technical
department of the router provider).
5. Plays preset stations – ok, but when
I choose ‘Radio Stations’ from the
menu it displays no network.
• Briefly disconnect the power to the radio.
6. Radio crashes whilst loading
stations or sound cuts out while
playing.
• It could be that due to network congestion, the loading
process is taking too long and the software for some
reason assumes that a reconnection is needed. Such
'congestion' can be anything from poor local network
conditions, through to poor bandwidth from the Internet
Service Provider, and possibly a slower than normal
response from ‘Wifiradio-frontier’ servers.
7. Displaying ‘stream ended’ and
stops playing. Try the following link
• The radio has reached the end of the stream it was playing.
This is normal behaviour for 'On Demand' streams which
terminate. It is occasionally observed with live streams
when they are busy or the connection to them is poor.
• Press 'BACK' to enter the menu and either reselect the
same stream or select a new stream.
8. How to find the Mac address for
radio.
Follow the Path:
Main menu ńSystem settings ńNetworkńView settings
ńMAC Address. See section 4 page 89.
9. Sound stops and showing buffering.
Or Sound cut out while playing and
resume again.
If you experience rebuffering
problems, you may wish to consider
opening up the following TCP and
UDP ports on your router to see if
there is any improvement: 80, 554,
1755, 5000 and 7070 Also see 20.
Router Buffer Size may be too small (e.g. Old Zyxel router).
This behaviour can be due to two things. Either, the media-
streaming service provided by the radio station is unreliable -
in that it has gaps in the stream (note: this should be expected
to happen occasionally) - or, your wireless network has a
problem such as interference (try changing the channel). QOS
(quality of service) in WAN setting?

10. Radio frozen, buttons don’t work. Disconnect the radio from mains supply for 5 minutes then
reconnect...
11. When I select Register option it
says
Key:
Status: 404
It seems to be a problem with the Frontier server. The 404 or
Not Found error messages are http generated standard
response. Means that the client was able to communicate with
the server but either the server could not find what was
requested, or it was configured not to fulfil the request and not
reveal the reason why. 404 errors should not be confused with
"server not found" or similar errors, in which a connection to
the destination server cannot be made at all.
Factory Reset your radio and try it some other time.
