Hi there! I understand you're experiencing connectivity issues with the WMAL app while using the Brave browser on your Windows 10 system, where the app loses connection every few minutes. To help you better, could you tell me if this issue happens only in Brave or with other browsers as well? Also, have you tried any steps to fix it already?
In the meantime, here are some common steps that might help resolve the problem:
1. Disable Brave Shields for WMAL Site/App: Brave's built-in shield blocks ads, trackers, and scripts, which could interfere with WMAL's connectivity. Try temporarily turning off the shield for the WMAL site or app and see if that stabilizes the connection. You can do this by clicking the Brave lion icon in the address bar and toggling the shield off.
2. Allow Local Network Access: Sometimes Brave restricts local network access by default, which can cause intermittent connection drops, especially for apps that rely on LAN or local servers. To check this: - Type brave://settings/content in the address bar. - Scroll down to "Additional permissions" or "Local network access." - Make sure WMAL app or site is allowed to access the local network6.
3. Clear Cache and Cookies: Old cache or cookies might cause erratic behavior. Clearing them specifically for WMAL's site or app may help.
4. Update Brave Browser: Ensure you're running the latest version of Brave, as updates often fix bugs related to connectivity5.
5. Try Incognito Mode or Disable Extensions: Extensions or browser settings may interfere. Try running WMAL in a Brave private window or disable extensions one by one to isolate any conflicts.
6. Check Network Settings: Make sure your Windows network settings and firewall aren't blocking WMAL or Brave.
If after going through these steps the issue persists, please let me know what you've tried and any additional details such as error messages or patterns you've observed. That will help me guide you further!
