Home / Streaming apps / Gain / NETWORK
Likely causes
WHY- The stick woke from sleep before Wi‑Fi fully rejoined
- Play Services / store services out of date on Android TV variants
- License / DRM handshake timeout with the rights server
- Profile switch mid-playback left the app in a bad state
Fix steps
FIX- Force a cold boot: hold the power button until shutdown, unplug, wait a full minute, then start fresh into Gain.
- After updating Gain, force-close it once, reopen, and test the same screen that showed NETWORK.
- Delete offline downloads inside Gain to free space, clear cache, and relaunch.
- Move closer to the AP or reduce interference, confirm strong signal, then launch Gain.
