problem in streaming

I wonder if anyone have stumbled upon this problem:

I'm listening to Shoutcast radio and since I connected the extender the stream won't work.
I saw this problem before when my computer wasn't in the admin section in the source rauter and I'm wondering if there is like 'Admin' section in the extender.
Or maybe there is another solution to this ?

Thank you.

  • Problem solved.

    I had to put the new Laptop user that is connected to the Repeater in the admin group in the Fritzbox panel.
    Every new IP gets automaticly to the Guests group and the device gives a new IP which enters automaticly to the Guests group,

    It's configured like that because sometimes friends are coming and I don't want them to download nothing.
    Thank you for your reply.

    Hi quizhead,

     

    1. What device (Android, iOS, Windows computer) are you streaming from?

    2. Is that device connected to the extenders WiFi network?

    3. If yes, please make sure that the extender has been setup correctly for it to provide Internet connectivity to the devices that connect to it.

    4. Is streaming from Shoutcast the only issue or is the device also unable to go online entirely?

     

    Regards,
