Step-by-step fix
-
Restart your devices: Power off your Marantz PM7000N and unplug your Wi-Fi router. Wait for about 30 seconds, then plug the router back in and turn on your Marantz PM7000N.
-
Reconnect to Wi-Fi: On the Marantz PM7000N, go to the settings menu. Select "Network" and then "Wi-Fi." Choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password if prompted.
-
Update firmware: Check for firmware updates by going to the settings menu, selecting "System," and then "Firmware Update." Follow the prompts to install any available updates.
-
Adjust Wi-Fi settings: If your router supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, try connecting to the 2.4GHz band for better range. You can usually find this option in your router's settings.
-
Check for interference: Ensure there are no physical barriers (like walls or large furniture) blocking the signal between your router and the Marantz PM7000N. Other electronic devices can also cause interference, so try moving them away.

Factory reset (if necessary): If the problem persists, consider performing a factory reset on your Marantz PM7000N. This option can usually be found in the settings menu under "System" or "Reset."
If you need a reliable HDMI connection for streaming, consider using a Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cable (paid link) to ensure optimal performance.
