You will get no sensible replies until you make a comprehensible post. No one, I'm pretty certain, has a clue what you are talking about. What modem?, what cables exactly connected to which outputs and which inputs?, and what pc and sound cards? We get these sort of dappy posts all the time. We are not mind readers and can't see your hook up and equipment.

Modern equipment is complex, and very temperamental as to how signals are routed. A lot of this is due to DRM. This is especially prevalent now, when using devices without HDMI connectivity.

I see Tune In is a collage of Internet radio stations. Again you have provided no useful information.

So I will make these assumptions. Due to your extreme inability to provide enough information this advice may well be quite useless to you.

My first assumption is that you use your pc to get TuneIn from your browser. I don't know where USB come in, but your router should connect to your computer via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable.

Since you computer does not have HDMI output, then you need to use and enable what your sound card has. This will be either old fashioned analog, or digital Toslink optical, or RCA digital. You will have to enable whatever output you use from your computer on the appropriate input of your receiver.

I will try to clarify my situation.My rec Ethernet out is going to my modem.From my modem to my Computer.
I do get Internet on my receiver but it doesn't last.It keeps dropping in and out.Or doesn't reload or come back on.
I can get Tune-In stations as well as FM when it is working.I talked to Rogers and they said I need a more advanced
Modem.Does this make help?

Modem is a modem. What you need is a router, but based on your responses so far I would highly recommend to seek out local IT guy

I agree with Bored.

You do not understand enough for us to help you.

Some people are just not up to the complexity of the modern age. I'm older and a retiree and I see these issues in spades with members of my generation. I'm suspicious you are someone who has not embraced life long learning.

So you have two options.

Pay for experienced help on site or: -

Be happy with an analog tunable radio, preferably with a big old fashioned tuning knob.

Your first post said the receiver was connected by USB,... later you said Ethernet. ?
That Onkyo has Ethernet connectivity.
Do you mean Net-Tune?

Wow, Ya'll ran that guy right off for no reason. His questions/answers didn't differ all that much from mine, when I get on the topic of computers.

TLS can be a Richard and we all know that but in this time of a dying forum, we should try to get people interested/involved....

Just in case the OP comes back,

The USB port on a receiver is for a thumb drive or to connect an iPod/iPad/iPhone or Android phone with USB output, to play the music files using the receiver's DAC. This doesn't work when connecting the receiver to a modem OR router.

If the Onkyo has built in WiFi and it drops the connection, I would recommend hard-wiring it. The fact that it even makes a connection to a WiFi network implies that the OP has a router. Hard-wired is more stable and reliable.

My laptop and blu-rays would constantly lose the wi-fi signal and Comcast was always after me to upgrade my wireless router. I WAS using a docsys 2.0 modem and once I sprung about @100 for a Motorola docsys 3.0 combination cable modem/wireless router all my problems disappeared.

Perhaps OP should have taken his cable companies advice from the get go.

Comcast requires YOU to improve your equipment AND pay for it? Time Warner uses docsys3, but they only require that someone call to schedule an appointment or to walk in with their old router for an exchange. A (typically) short call to tech support later, it's up and running. They allow using a different modem, router or combo unit but if their stuff goes bad, THEY'RE responsible for it. OTOH, it's great to have equipment that freaking works reliably.

I turned the radio on this AM and one of the first things I heard was the news girl saying that she talked to Time Warner and was told that the new routers they supply don't play nice with Samsung TVs. Only took an hour for the tech support guy to tell her- apparently, he didn't bother to ask what she was using for the other equipment.

I use U-Verse for internet and in one month, the service went out completely for over a week and later, my WiFi began to reset while I was using it. I could hear the router click and the connection would be lost. Hard-wired, it worked fine. I called and did the dance with 'Roger' and at one point, after nothing else worked, he told me that we needed to set up an apointment for a tech to come out and check the cabling to my house. Huh?????? Hard-wired worked and WiFi was goofy, but he thought the cabling outside needed to be checked? I asked what logic made him think this was a reasonable idea. Eventually, I convinced him that I needed a new gateway.

Why do we need to do their troubleshooting for them?

They don't "require one to buy your modem and router but one can save a few bucks a month by doing so. Me, being a cheap SOB, calculated that this purchase paid for itself within two years, and I've had it for over three now.

The only modem they insist on renting you is a phone modem.

ATT tries to make people pay up-front for the hardware, but they still own it. I refuse to pay for it over and over again when they can't use the brands and models that are known to work, like some of the Packedge, Ubiquity and other brands. ATT was using 2-Wire for years and everyone had problem and now, they have changed to Motorola for many customers. All of the 2-Wire I had failed and it was always the WiFi- two of them just needed a new wall wart, but they insisted on replacing the whole thing. Wasted a ton of my time, so I told them I wouldn't pay for the hardware and that I wanted a credit on my bill for every case, or I'd go to a competitor.

You're kind of lucky- a cable modem works on almost every cable system, while the U-Verse doesn't. If I could just use a generic modem, I'd buy a Ubiuity router and be done with it. The AirRouter I keep in my van cost about $30 and it kicks butt- far stronger wireless signal/range, far more flexible and more security options/better event logging.
