You’ll find throughout this forum, if you have an issue with your tablo - reboot your router, reboot your tablo, reboot your streaming device. Not a concept but a methodology.
What once was a “windows thing” now has almost become an industry standard trouble-shooting methodology. Not that we like it, not finding the real problem - just making it go away for a while.

One is a concept, the other is an acceptable fix?
