Thank you for your replay. Very kind of you. 😃

I dont think that is the problem. I can read newspaper on the web using safari, so I am connected to the 5 Ghz network. I can search and find music in Apple Music, but the app refuses to play the actual song. The same with hbo, and netflix. I can search and find the movies I want to see, but the apps won’t play them.

Other users have had similar problem, but I can’t find any solution:

So does anybody know anything about this particular problem?
