Network
To check your network is working correctly, we recommend that you try the following:
- Reboot any modems and routers to reset the network connection.
- If you connect wirelessly, move your device closer to the wireless router to see if speeds improve.
- If you're connected through a router, try plugging directly into the modem.
- See your manual for configuration options if the router is slowing or blocking uploads.

- Clear your browser cookies.
- Clear your browser cache.
