I think it comes mainly from the router, but a 13amp wifi extender socket was fitted earlier this year.

I thought right, I'll try the TV first, then switch off the 13A wifi socket, & see if the TV detects the Humax.
Humax was visible before I cancelled the 13A socket!I'll try it later, but I was having problems before the 13A socket was fitted.

This is how it was for months, appearing one day, disappearing later, until it packed in altogether.
Can't see any solution to it. Been trying for quite a while. Don't have any bother streaming to an LG TV (using a Netgear extender) in the back room. A lot further to the bedroom TV, & in the opposite direction.| Mon 1 Nov 2021 19:20:09 #15 | -
When you say it's a 13amp wifi socket, do you mean a plug in repeater or the type that sends the signal via the mains wiring?

It's a 13A socket.

OK, something like this then?
It plugs into the wall, picks up the WiFi and then re-sends it out.
Try plugging it into a different socket. You need to find a sweet spot where it receives a good signal from your router and its broadcast range is effective to the TV. You might find its best position is somewhere odd that you hadn't considered.
But also have a look at its eco/powersaving settings (as mentioned before) because when it effectively goes into standby your TV will lose connection with the Humax and the TV just might not be triggering it to reconnect.| Mon 1 Nov 2021 21:31:22 #18 | -
the TV gets a good wifi signal. It just doesn't have the Humax icon. Tested the signal with wifi analyser.

How is the Humax connected to the network, wifi or ethernet?
