After effects won’t connect to Cinema 4D until I turn off the wireless internet?
Hello,
I don’t know what the problem is but i create a cinema 4d file in after effects, then when I try to move through the timeline after effects stalls for 5 minutes every time.
It works fine when I turn the internet connection off. But i need the internet on as well.
Could it be something blocking it in the wireless router?

It’s possible that you’ve got your firewall set to block things on public networks or private networks or both. Thus, when you’re not connected to a network, your firewall lets the data pass, but when you’re connected, it shuts down.
Basically, go into your operating system’s firewall settings and set it to allow all of your Adobe software.

Do you mean on my mac or in the router settings?
Any idea how I do thus?

Actually, I just found the firewall in the mac OS system preferences but it is turned off?

After Effects and Cinema 4D communicate over TCP. It may be that your wireless internet system is using/blocking the port that they’re trying to use for their communication.
You can try using a different TCP port by changing the value in the Cineware settings (which you get to by clicking the Options button in the Cineware effect in the Effect Controls panel).

Did you download after effects? Might need a reinstall.
