My Question or Issue
When trying to log on to spotify using the app I get a message saying I should update my firewall. I have seen this has occurred to other people.
I have checked the firewall on my mac and its not enabled.
I checked the firewall on my router and disabled it for a minute and tried again and that did not help so I switched that firewall on again.
It is a Huwawei 4G mobile route on the EE network (unlimited data).
The strange thing is spotify works fine through the safari browser on the same mac through the same router.
When I went to another private wifi network (at the house I am moving out of) the app worked fine.
Also the spotty app on my iPhone works fine on my new Huwawei router/wifi network (I switched off mobile data to force it onto the wifi)
So the fact the app works on my old fixed broadband suggests its a problem with the Huwawei router but the fact that the app on y phone works through the Huwawei router suggests its an app problem.
Tried to live chat with Huwawei and they suggested I use a web management app? Not sure about this but it was after this chat I entered the IP address of the router on my web browser and turned off the firewall.
I am now at a loss. I suspect a compatibility problem between the MacBook app and the Huwawei route but can not be more specific than that I don't knowhow to prove it one way or another
Sorry I attached screen shot 3 times
