Hi
Hope someone can help with this weird issue ... I've had the Magic box for a couple of years - and loving it.  Some time ago I wired it up to  my network (via a TP-Link Powerline Ethernet-over-power setup) and installed the iPhone Remote app.  Worked great for months.  I later had  to steal the network connection for another device.  Last week got another TP-Link adaptor and reconnected the Magic box.  But now the app  can't find the Magic box.  I've checked  settings and it tells me it's connected to the network ... Get DHCP -> Save&Exit. I can see the IP address on my network (although I can't connect via  browser).    Fetched and installed latest firmware -> 6.04NZ. Power cycled  everything I don't know how many times.  Deleted and reinstalled the  app.  Still the same thing every  time I open the app ..."No Available Magic TV".  Have you clues how to resolve this issue?  Any help  appreciated.

Good.

Please make sure that your iPhone (via WiFi, not cellular network) and the Magic TV (via TP-Link) are connected to the same router, in case you have more than one router, or routers of your neighbors are in range.

Some routers have a setting to drop broadcast packets from WiFi. Buffalo even has it set to default (bad). Please look for any setting named as "Isolation" or "Separation" under WiFi settings. Disable them.
