Pandora freezes Hopper has to be reset

[lazydogmot]

When listening to Pandora, music will stop at end of song and nothing happens after that. Everything is frozen. No remote buttons work. Can't exit Pandora. Reset is our only hope!

Then we have to reconnect to internet and everything will work again, for a while. We have two Hoppers but have only noticed it on the living room set (bedroom set is not used for Pandora much). Anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks for your reply.

How are the two boxes connected to broadband?

The living room Hopper is connected through an Ethernet cable to a wifi extender pluged into the wall behind it. We tried the Dish wifi dongle but the signal wasn't that great. The bedroom Hopper is connected through the node. You thinking it's time for a router upgrade? It is about six years old.

I would personally try connecting it a different way or try another router if you can. That connection method sounds kinda sketchy.

I switched the location of the Netgear wifi extender to the bedroom Hopper's Ethernet connection. It is closer to the router and has less obstructions in the way (sheet rock instead of concrete block). So now the living room Hopper gets broadband through the MOCA.

We will try that and see what happens. I will report back either way. We should know shortly, the way it was acting before.

Still having problems losing broadband signal to Hopper through Netgear extender. Getting new router today and eliminating extender. Router arrived at house as I was typing. Check back later.

Got router setup, good wireless signal to Hopper, around 75.
