Hi All,
My fire tv again has dropped the internet connection and now blinking with Orange light. I try powering on and off but didn't help. Last time i had to reboot my router and it worked but all other device connect to my router are connected to internet.
I have a wired connection, i also tried wifi but get the same message connected with problem.
Anyone else had this issue and any idea what is the problem or how to fix it. I hate to reboot the router each time, this is the 2nd time in 1 week period with this issue with internet.
My AFTV is rooted so i hate to returned it and get another one who knows the other will be rootable.
Updated
I tested the connection on my raspberry PI which was also not able to connect so I rebooted my router and everything is good for now. I suppose there is some issue with the router i didn't have this issue for the past year when i had the Raspberry PI connected but i did reset my router few weeks ago so not so maybe the router is acting up for now i will keep an eye on it.
Thank you
My firestick says it is connected to the WiFi, but not the internet. "Home is not available". Sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't. I have moved it around but nothing seems to matter. It won't stay connected. I'm confused how it can be connected to WiFi, but not the internet. Can anyone help me please?
I have the 3rd generation Amazon Fire TV. I notice this happens a lot with the FoxNow app as well as when streaming from Amazon Video. I don't see this with Netflix or when I stream from my Plex Media server. Mainly only with Amazon Video and FoxNow. It keeps telling me that Amazon Home is unavailable and it shows in the network status that it's connected to WiFi but not the internet. I'm running on the 5ghz band on channel 153 and all my other devices connected to the router work when the Fire TV states there's no internet. I've unregistered and re-registered my device as well as rebooted it several times, but the issue keeps coming back.
It doesn't happen all the time. There will be some days where there's not an issue with it. But when it happens, I have to reboot the Fire TV or unregister and re-register it on Amazon. I've ran a WiFi scanner and it tells me channel 153 is the best one for me based on my area. The Fire TV is just a few feet away from my WiFi router. I'm using the power adapter that came with the Fire TV in a wall outlet as it won't work with my TV's USB port (not powerful enough).
Our router is brand new (NetGear Firehawk R7000) and our cable modem is fine as well. Like I said, everything else works fine after the Fire TV loses connection.
We only have a 30mbps connection. Could that be it? Didn't seem to bother us when we had a Roku, but I wanted to get something that used the 5ghz channel so I went with the Fire TV since it was on sale.

Try channel 36 on 5ghz band..
I've had this same issue for a year with no solution. I'm stuck on channel 36 which is the most crowded in my neighborhood
Well, I bit the bullet and purchased the LAN adapter for the Fire TV device and since this past Monday (4/23/2018) after hooking it up directly to my router and not using WiFi, I have not had a single issue. Before that, over the weekend and the past week, I had numerous hang ups and loss of internet (at least, the Fire TV said I had no internet but I did) after watching a movie, or a couple of TV shows.
I'm really thinking the issue is tied to heat (it heats up after using it for one movie or a couple of TV shows) and that causes an issue with the WiFi chip in the device. Since moving to using a LAN cable instead, there doesn't appear to be an issue with this now.
Also, I've noticed where lag/delay between audio and video that slowly creeps in as time moves on while watching a movie has appeared to have disappeared as well. Definitely, something is up with my WiFi. Not sure if it's my router or how it's configured (Netgear Nighthawk), but I have checked various settings (no dual band being used and only used 5ghz band, but the same issue was also on 2.4ghz band when I tried that) and nothing fixed the issue until moving off of WiFi.
I do have a repeater in the house for my wife because her laptop has a crappy wifi controller in it so she can't get a good signal upstairs whereas the rest of us have no issues. But, that's not always plugged in. Only when she needs to use her laptop upstairs so when she's not using it, it's turned off/unplugged from the wall. It also only uses the 2.4ghz band.
But in any case, using the LAN adapter appears to have solved my issue. Only time will tell, but the loss of internet via the Fire TV would happen daily. Now, after 3 days, it hasn't happened once. Knocking on wood that this fixes my issue.
UPDATE 4/26/2018:
Day 3 of using the Fire TV with the LAN adaptor. Watched over 5 hours of Dexter and not one issue. I watch it via Netflix and usually, after a few viewings, Netflix goes into buffering mode. Hasn't happened once this week since getting the LAN adapter. It definitely seems to have fixed my issue.

Ya you're right about going with lower / middle of the bands. I noticed this with 2.4ghz band too, I had it set to auto in my router settings and it picked 11, but AFTV didn't like anything 10 or over, so just changed band in router settings manual @1 or 6 and no issues.
Well, over a week now and not ONE single hang up and need to reboot. Definitely something with the WiFi in the device if you ask me. Interference, possibly brought on when the device gets too hot maybe? I dunno. Problem solved if you ask me! So happy now. Love my FireTV even more!
Hello guys how are you?
Recently I bought a Dasaita PX6 Android 10 for my Toyota CHR. Camera working OK, Sound OK... but I have a problem with WIFI connection.
As soon as setup my phone as hotspot, I search that WIFI on DASAITA. I find it and connect to it but as soon as IP address is raised WIFI turns off automatically.
Here I show you a video of the problem:

Thanks
I had the same issue. I think it has to do with the Zlink app which tries to put the HA in hotspot mode. I managed to switch on wifi after closing the Zlink app manually and disabling the hotspot in the dropdown menu(the icons which appear if you swipe down from the top of the screen). Unfortunately the wifi connection with the hotspot of my iPhone is nog always stable. Sometimes it disconnects after a couple of minutes.

Thanks for your reply.
If you saw the video I linked I have closed all apps and the problem is still there. I don't know what happens

Yes, a saw that, but as far as I can see, you did not disable the hotspot before turning on wifi. I needed to do that as well.

I think as soon as wifi is set to ON, hotspot turns off automatically. It can be shown also on the video.
Actually I use CAR PLAY but I would like to swap between both options with no connection problems :crying:
I thought my suggested method worked, but today it did not work for me either. I agree with you that this is quite annoying. Hopefully someone else can help us out.
i have same issue... looking forward to somebody do a stable update that solve this problem
I have this unit. What works for me is to use usb hookup for CarPlay, then you can use phone hotspot on radios WiFi. You have to turn WiFi on a few times after connecting phone through usb for it to stick. For wireless CarPlay, the radio uses the WiFi resources and turns off selectable WiFi.

the problem for me is that my iphone is not connect well to the bluetooth of the Dasaita, the issue is that i can't answer or make a call through the Dasaita (android)..... When i'm able to connect to BT and the Zlink start then the BT disconnects, when switch shut down Zlink app BT won't connect anymore

I think Syoung (above) is correct.
Obviously you can't run hotspot and wifi at the same time. It's one or the other.
If watch the video closely, the hotspot is off. As soon as wifi is turned on and the phone connects SOMETHING turns the hotspot on (you can see it getting turned on at the 19 second mark in the video), which in turn shuts off the wifi.
Maybe try completely disabling hotspot and see what happens
Well. I tried to connect the iPhone to the car via USB cable to launch CARPLAY. I think my car USB port that actually y also connected to DAISATA doesn’t support CARPLAY. Maybe I need to connect another cable to the back of DASAITA module to make it work.
In addition about the HOTSPOT. The DAISATA HOTSPOT is automatically set to ON to link with iPhone CarPlay.
If I turn it off as soon as my iPhone is near (also set use with CarPlay) hotspot back to ON and CARPLAY IS LINKED AND LAUNCHED.
Do you know if I need to use another cable connected to usb connector located in the back of DAISATA??
Thanks
Hello again. This is what I did and noticed:
- Car usb socket (connected to Daisata) doesn't work with USB CARPLAY.
- I connect the extra usb port to DAISATA.
- CARPLAY via USB working OK on that port.
- If using WIRELESS CARPLAY, Dasaita acts as hotspot creating a WIFI network where iPhone connects automatically.
- Now... I connect the iPhone to the new USB port for CARPLAY ( working ok and connecting faster). I disabled Hotspot from DASAITA. I turned ON WIFI and connect Dasaita to my iPhone hotspot . ALL OK.
So as somebody said is not possible use WIRELESS CAR PLAY and also have WIFI on Dasaita software.
I think connecting the iPhone to the new port we have the 2 connections ( car play and wifi) and on the other hand we can recharge the iPhone.
BUT.... now I need to solve another problem. I don't know why I need to switch off the Hotspot on iPhone each time I want The Daisata connects to the iPhone Hotspot. If I leave the hotspot always ON ( as it MUST BE) the wIFI that iPhone creates doesn't appear on DAISATA. As soon as I switch OFF then ON DAISATA connects in 1 sec to my iPhone
Best regards

I went into the zlink app preferences and turned off autoload and control system settings. This seems to stop zlink from turning everything back on when you turn it off. Been working for a few days. I do not however use android auto. You would need to play with the app to see how it functions without those permissions.
Hello,
I couldn't make the switch to wifi on. It kept going off. Tried your help, nothing worked.
What helped me today was a complete "power off". A restart.
It's working now.
Hi, I have a Dasaita PX6 with Max10, I have same issue, i have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, I don't know what to do, I can't solve, could you help me? Thank you in advance
I had a similar issue. I recently purchased a Dasaita HD5367-H10 unit and I've been having some trouble with the WiFi.
When the unit turns on, the WiFi turns on and it connects to my phone's hotspot. Shortly after it connects, the WiFi turns off and I have to manually turn it on again. This only happens once upon boot up and it works fine for the rest of the duration. Once I restart the unit, the issue occurs again.
I think I found a workaround. Disabling ZLink from the Factory Settings menu seems to "fix" the problem, but now the ZLink daemon service is not working.
Hello people,
hopefully i am in the right Thread.
I am using now for few days a LTE 4G (from AliExpress) Stick in my car.
Its connected to the USB Port of my Pumpkin Radio.
After few minutes the App EasyConnection-CarbitLink starts and the Stick is NOT connecting to the internet and the WiFi is not enabled. This is very annoying.
So i have to forceclose this app EVERYTIME when i am turning on the engine of my car.
But even then the Stick lose ,while driving, sometimes the connection to the internet and Wifi.
I already tried the Stick at home and have no problems.
Any recommendations?
Hi, mobile-freak.
I also suffered this same problem altought it happened with a Huawei dongle.
The problem is: dongle tries to comunicate by the usb port with HU, but there´s not compatibility in communication.
The only thing you have to do is connect the dongle to a 5V universal usb charger and dongle will connect to the ISP and will establish a wifi network to which you´ll be able to connect without more problems.
This way, EasyConnection will not start.
I got one with WiFi and 4G, USB is only used for power. So I connect with WiFi from the HU to the dongle.
Is it possible to have this working on the S10e running LOS 19.1? I can see the WiFi dongle in my WiFi list and also the Bluetooth connection. It keeps trying to make the connection every minute or so but can't. My VPN is also disabled for this just in case. I can get connected using USB but not wirelessly. Thanks...
Anyone??
