Gemini Apps suddenly won't load

When I first got my Gemini box, the apps worked perfectly.  Now, they suddenly quit loading.  I am using a WIFI connection, but I have tried a wired connection, and still nothing.  I have a very strong internet signal, and the apps load perfectly through my Shield streaming device, but not from Gemini.  When I click the app button on the Gemini remote, I either get returned to app screen, or get an error message, all seeming to indicate that there is no internet signal getting to Gemini.  Yet, when I check the Genie 2, the internet signal is rated excellent, and I can get on demand movies no problem.

Does anyone have a solution?  Anyone having the same problem?

@mrstoney46 Right they want you to pay the $99 service call fee so they can press it.

I wish I could tell you, but the guy was going from one TV in one room to the other room so I'm really not sure. I did watch but not sure I could do it. But $99 is that right?

What did I learn from this: (A) DON'T PUSH THE RED BUTTON: (B) if they can squeeze a buck from you to help, they will! and (C) Direct TV could really use a complete Customer Service re-vamp.

I unplugged the Gemini connections and restarted and everything is working again.  I have fast fiber internet service and the Gemini device is very slow. If I use the Roku or Fire Cube the menus move super fast. This device needs some upgrades.  I miss my old receiver speed.
