STREAMING PROBLEMS? HOTSPOT YOUR ZAAPTV DEVICE TO YOUR
MOBILE PHONE
If you are experiencing streaming problems and don’t know if it is your Internet
Provider or the ZAAPTV device which has a problem, then you can try the
following to help diagnose the problem:
Power cycle your ZAAPTV device and Modem/Router
Unplug the power to your Modem/Router, unplug the Power to your ZAAPTV
device, re-connect the Power to your Modem/Router and wait 5 minutes for all
the led lights to stop flashing, then re-connect the power to your ZAAPTV
device. Check to see if you are still experiencing the same issues.
