Connect your Xumo Stream Box to the internet during activation

Durante el proceso de activación del decodificador de Xumo Stream, se te pedirá que conectes tu decodificador Stream a Internet. Sigue las instrucciones paso a paso que aparecen en pantalla.

Note: You can also use an Ethernet cable (not included) to set up a wired connection instead. If you use an Ethernet cord, make sure everything is plugged in securely.

Check your WiFi status

Keep your streaming smooth and uninterrupted by monitoring your WiFi connection strength. Knowing your connection status helps you troubleshoot issues like buffering or freezing before they impact your viewing experience.

To view your current WiFi connection:

  3. Choose Network connection

In Network connection, your WiFi status will be displayed as one of the following results:

  • Excellent
  • Buenas
  • Fair
  • Bad
  • Desconectado

Note: If you are connected to the internet via Ethernet, your status will show as either Connected or Disconnected.

Manage your networks

Use these settings to reconnect to your current network or switch to a different WiFi connection.

Reconnect to a disconnected WiFi network

If your WiFi displays as Disconnected, follow these steps to reconnect:

  1. Go to Settings > Network > Network Connection > WiFi using password.
  2. Select your network and enter the password.

Connect to a different WiFi network

If you want to change your WiFi network, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Network > Network Connection.
  2. Select Reset, then select Confirm.
  3. Select WiFi using password.
  4. Select your new network and enter the password.

Step 2: Fix WiFi password errors

Your Xumo Stream Box won't connect if the password is incorrect. Asegúrate de haber seleccionado el nombre de red correcto (SSID) y de haber ingresado la contraseña correcta. Recuerda, las contraseñas distinguen entre mayúsculas y minúsculas.

Step 3: Check your modem or router

Confirm that your modem or router is connected to the internet. An easy way to check is to see if you can access the internet on a phone, computer, or other device.

  • Si otros equipos pueden conectarse a la red, prueba a reiniciar el módem o el router.
  • If the connection speed seems slow, you can try to improve the signal strength by moving your modem or router closer to the device, or work with your internet service provider on improving the signal in your home.

Step 4: Troubleshoot mobile hotspot connections

Asegúrate de que tu hotspot tenga una buena conexión y que otros equipos, como computadoras, puedan conectarse.

  • Si está conectado y la velocidad parece lenta, intenta reiniciar tu hotspot móvil.
  • If the speed doesn’t improve or the stream box isn’t able to connect, connect the stream box to another network either through a WiFi or Ethernet connection, as the Stream Box may have a compatibility issue with your hotspot connection.
