Netflix says 'A network error has occurred'
If you see an error on your Sony TV that says
A network error has occurred
It usually means your TV can't reach Netflix because of a network issue. Follow the steps below to fix the problem.
Check your internet connection
You can test your device's connection by trying another app that connects to the internet. Some devices have a network test available in settings.
If other apps don't work or you get a network error, it usually means your device isn't connected.
To get the connection steps for your device:
-
Check the instructions or manual that came with your device.
-
Contact the device's manufacturer for help connecting your device to the internet.
If your device is connected and you still have issues, go to the next steps.
Restart your home network
-
Turn off or unplug your smart TV.
-
Unplug your modem (and your wireless router, if it's a separate device) from power for 30 seconds.
-
Plug in your modem and wait until no new indicator lights are blinking on. If your router is separate from your modem, plug it in and wait until no new indicator lights are blinking on.
-
Turn your smart TV back on and try Netflix again.
