  If the App is unable to find the Gold Note Media Player DS-10 on the network, there are a few potential causes. First, ensure that the DS-10 is properly connected to your network via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, verify that the RF antenna is correctly installed, as the DS-10 may not function correctly without it. Also, confirm that the DS-10 is connected to the correct WLAN and that you have entered the correct password, if required by your network setup.
