If you experience the error code NW-1-1000, it typically points to a network connectivity issue that is preventing your device from reaching the Netflix service. Follow the troubleshooting steps for your device below to resolve the issue.
Public networks:
For Wi-Fi in places like a café, hotel, or school, ask if video services like Netflix are blocked.
Private networks:
Check if your connection is slower than our recommended speeds and contact your internet service provider if you need help.
Connections like mobile hotspots, cellular, or satellite networks might be too slow to use Netflix.
Try using a different app on your device that connects to the internet. You can also use your device's built-in connection test in settings.
If your device can't connect or shows a network error, it might not be connected.
For connection help, check the device user manual or contact the manufacturer.
Unplug your device from power.
Press the power button on the device once, then wait 1 minute. If your device doesn't have a power button or you can't reach it, leave it unplugged for 3 minutes instead.
Plug your device back in.
Turn your device on and try Netflix again.
Turn off or unplug your Blu-ray player.
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 Blu-ray player back on and try Netflix again.
If you've changed the connection settings on your device, you'll need to change them back to default.
These settings could include:
Custom modem settings.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy service settings.
Custom DNS settings.
If you need help changing these settings, contact the device manufacturer.

To improve your Wi-Fi:
Move your router and your device closer to each other. If possible, put them in the same room.
Move your router away from other wireless devices and appliances.
Keep your router in an open space off the floor. Routers get better reception when on a desk or bookshelf.
Contact your internet service provider. They can tell you if your modem/router is set up and working correctly.
