We use an external Bluetooth speaker with our Hopper 3. Today, it started dropping out every few minutes. It would reconnect on it's own, but then the cycle would repeat. I rebooted, unpaired and then paired again but no luck. One drop out didn't come back and when I looked Bluetooth was missing altogether. Rebooted and it was there.

Then, I started to look at Gamefinder and it complained that the Hopper wasn't connected to the internet. I checked and it wasn't. When I tried to reconnect to the router it would just time out.

At that point I checked the "router" (actually, a Jetpack) and found that at some point this morning I managed to block the Hopper from connecting to the Jetpack. Once I reversed that, not only did WIFI connect, Bluetooth settled down and has been working properly ever since.

Apparently, if WIFI isn't connecting it impacts Bluetooth too?
