Troubleshooting
If you have trouble connecting the radio to your
wireless network, these steps may help to resolve
the problem:
Conrm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the 1.
Internet (i.e., can browse the web) using the same
network.
Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you 2.
have congured a static IP address on the radio. You
can congure a static IP address on the radio by entering System setup -> Network -> Manual setting->
Wireless, then selecting ‘DHCP disable’.
Check that your access point does not restrict con-3.
nections to particular MAC addresses. You can view
the radio’s MAC address by entering ‘System setup ->
Network -> View setting-> MAC address’.
If you have an encrypted network, check that you 4.
have entered the correct key or password into the
radio. Remember that text-format keys are case
sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an
encrypted network, your radio displays: ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure
that you enter the correct passcode for the network.
If the problem persists, you may need to consult your
network conguration.
If your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it
may be due to one of the following:
The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day •
(e.g., it is located in a dierent time zone).
Page 46

www.cobyusa.com Page 47
Troubleshooting
The station has reached the maximum allowed •
number of simultaneous listeners.
The station is no longer broadcasting.•
The link on the radio is out of date.•
The Internet connection between the server (often •
located in a dierent country) and the radio is slow.
To conrm station status, try using a PC to access the station via the broadcaster’s web site.
If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at
http://www.wiRadio-frontier.com to notify us so that we
can change the station data. Once this information has
been updated, the radio should be able to connect.
