Troubleshooting¶

Internet router signal strength¶

The QuattroPod has a radio range (line of sight) of up to 30m. A low signal indication refers to poor signal strength between the box and your router or access point. This can result in choppy playback of videos and content if the content is dependent on the internet or if your mobile devices connect to the stick through your infrastructure.

This can have several causes and therefore several solutions:

1. Problem: The distance between the QuattroPod and the router or wireless access point is too great.

Solution: Try to reduce the distance or install an additional wireless access point.

2. problem: There are walls or other objects between the QuattroPod and the router or wireless access point that degrade the signal strength.

Solution:** Make sure the QuattroPod has no obstructions to the router or access point. If necessary, install an additional access point.
