Hi all,
I recently got Plusnet broadband having switched from BT and was with Sky before that. I have a Samsung ue48h6400. Ever since I have had it the Iplayer app will now freeze. There is no error message, sometimes iplayer will remember near to where it froze, sometimes it will just restart the program. It can last anywhere from 5 mins to 20 mins before it freezes. Once it has frozen the TV says it has disconnected from the router and will not reconnect unless restarted. Youtube seems to work ok on the TV. All other devices have had no problems with it. I have tried the standard fixes: resetting the tv and router, changing the DNS settings, disabling router firewall, splitting 2.4 and 5 ghz, disabling 2.4 and 5ghz separately, changing band. The router has good coverage and I have moved it into the same room as the TV and still had problems.
Some people say you can connect ethernet to the tv but I don't want to run a cable and it worked without problems for the last two routers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've also posted the event log running up to the freeze.
It froze around 3 minutes after this.

Thanks for the response, I'll try it if I can't find any other solutions. I would rather not have to buy extra stuff if possible since I pay for the service I expect it to work and as I say I've not had problems with previous routers.

I download BBC programs to a media player on my PC, using get_iplayer.
This works on Linux and Windows (haven't tried Windows though).

Surely that's fine on a computer but I don't see how that would work for the TV?
