Thanks for the suggestion. I connected the ethernet cable, pandora still will not load.
For clarity, I did have good working pandora before the router swap. I think I just need to get a direct tv technician out here to fix it. So far now I have about 5-6 hours of chat time, hold time and phone time into this.
Just for recap. Our phone and internet were dropping out, so the gateway was replaced. This killed pandora.
Everything else on direct tv seems to work.
