    Hola,

    I am using my Formuler Zmini wifi with great plesure.

    The Zmini is HDMI connected to a Samsung TV.

    The internetconnection via Starlink modem with wifi to the Zmini.

    It offen happens that the connection for the TV programes is failing. The video's of YouTube f.i. are not affected so the speed is ok.

    It seems that it is related to IP adressing but I do not know how to solve.

    It occurs sometimes 2-3 times a week and than 2 weeks perfekt. Most of the times it happens when starting up. Although it happens during TV watching and get the message HTTP failure type 356 take contact with your provider.

    I need half an hour to get the connection for TV watching back again.

    I try: 1) reset the Zmini 2) clearing cache 3) on/off the wifi connection 4) disconnect with the portal and connecting again. 5) VPN on 6) VPNoff 7) VPN with static IP on/off

    7) TV off/on.

    Finally the MYTVonline3 programmes are working again. ( no idea at the end why it works again) But.......for how long??? I am getting crazy not to know why this is happening:face_with_rolling_eyes:!

    Anybody a proper solution?

    Thanks in advance for helping me out.

    I read few Months ago some post from one of our devs. and he told me that the Starlink is not best solution for streaming, long latency and sometimes very long pings. How ever i plan this summer to install Starlink on holiday home and will test this also thorough.

    Meanwhile and i think it is also one of the issues you have, if not the issue, your DNS Server and DNS routing.

    Since last update this setting menu was updated, you can change following setting.

    Network -> Private DNS -> choose Quad9 as DNS Server and test again.
