The response you are getting is just “standard operating procedure” for most
all firms in the technology field, including our phone companies and internet
providers. I know one of the people who works for TWC, and they are trained to
tell everyone who calls that the problem is on the customer’s end, not theirs,
and then, they tell the customer to go through all kinds of configuration
changes, sometimes messing up the customer’s system, but they will rarely admit
the problem is on their end. I have had that happen with both my internet
service and my Serious/XM radio service, only to have it mysteriously work
correctly again after I hang up the phone from talking to them.

They want me to piss around with the router settings which I'm not gonna do
since everything else in the house works fine. I'm gonna tell them I did and
send all the messages I've gotten from people having problems. I don't like
being screwed with and that's what there doing here. Just admit there are
issues and deal with 'em. Well enough of that. Merry Christmas and happy new
year to you and your family.

Hello Rich,
I also get error messages about weak signals when I am in close proximity to my
router. I am also getting errors about insufficient internal storage when
there are barely any documents or files in the memory. I have no NLS books and
just 5 or 6 podcasts, no music, or other stuff in there. Still I keep getting
the insufficient internal memory error.
I think the interface is well designed and the functionality great. I wonder
about the hardware, though. The device does not seem to support the software.
At least, that is what it seems to me.
Merry Christmas.
Warm Regards,
Fred

Here's the entire transaction between humanware and myself. Sounds like the
run around to me.
Hello,
Please check the below settings on your router.
These are the basic specs of your Stream’s Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11b/g/n operating in
the 2.4GHz band
Things to try on your router: Ensure that the wireless security mode is set to:
WPA-PSK Personal/**WPA2-PSK Personal ‘this is the preferred option’
(definition:Wi-Fi protected access with pre-shared key)
1) Change the channel that the router is broadcasting on. If it is set to
Auto, the try to set it to a fixed channel, **preferably channel 6.
2) Try switching the data encryption mode between AES and TKIP **or
combined AES/TKIP depending on the current setting.
3) Try changing the wireless mode on the router to either G/N or only G or
only N if that is unsuccessful. (Your Apex will only work on B or G however)
Change the SSID to something simple without capital letters or symbols.
Kind regards,
The humanware team

Hello,
I would suggest trying to delete and reconfigure your wireless connection. To
delete it, press the number 7 to enter the wireless menu and then either to or
8 to scroll to the delete a connection option. Press the pound key to enter
this and then find your configuration and press pound. Press pound again to
confirm. Then scroll to the scan for available connections option and
reconfigure your connection. Please let us know if this makes any difference
and we can look further in to it if necessary.
Kind regards,

At most I'm 50 feet away from the router. Signal is usually from good to
excellent. I've had the stream act the same way when stand right next to the
router. I had OoTunes on my iPhone all afternoon today
<x-apple-data-detectors://6> and never had buffering issues.

Hello,
Can you tell us how far you are away from your router when this is happening?
Also, check your signal strength by pressing the 0 key when this happens.
Thank you,

Hello, I am writing concerning internet radio on the Victor stream. I have
OOTunes on my iPhone and have no problems. I keep getting the please wait
message on the stream after starting stations. They work for awhile and then
the please wait message comes up and I get connection to the station failed.
As I said, I don't have buffering issues with OOTunes on the iPhone. So I i
know it's not internet connection issues here. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
