Connection problems after clean start

Hi – I imagine I’m not the only one who has had this problem so apologies if this thread is elsewhere, I just couldn’t see it when I had a scan of the forum.

I’m also not particularly techi so please be gentle.

I’ve had an android droid player for about 18 months and it’s generally been stable, but I did a clean start after it kept crashing (I did the same about six months ago and all fine afterwards). This time I’m having problems reinstalling Kodi

In short, when I get the home screen and click on Kodi I get the screen which just has “settings” and “install dp”, but when I click “install dp” i get an error message saying I’m not connected to Internet. When I go to settings it says I am connected. I’ve reconnected two or three times with ethernet and wifi and still get the same problem. It’s driving me mad so any advice gratefully received! Thanks!
