First step of troubleshooting should always be to restart device(s) and router. Then check your account status in your account. You should always see 3 green check marks if the device you are using to visit the account home is set up correctly.

If you use the Opera Max browser, you should not use it to check your account as it is incompatible. Please use another browser like Chrome or Firefox instead.
