HELP !! Connection Faults Kodi 17

Having weird internet connection issues that only started when i downloaded kodi 17. Making it impossible to include addons or basically use Kodi at all !!

I’m running Kodi on an Nvidia Shield – connected to internet via ethernet. I’ve checked my internet connection (on several laptops / also with ping test) & there is nothing wrong there.

In Kodi, I go to System Information / Network. In the ‘internet’ section it shows either:
1) Connected
2) Busy
3) Not Connected. Check network settings.

it basically jumps between all 3 & i have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY Confused??

Does anyone have ANY idea why this is happening & what i could do to fix it ?

Any help appreciated.
