Netflix Error NW-4-7

You might get the error code NW-4-7 with this message:

Couldn't connect to Netflix. Please try again or restart your home network and streaming device.

This error happens when an issue with data on your device or your network connection stops Netflix from working, or if your device is no longer supported.

To fix the problem, follow the steps for your device.

Netflix may no longer be available on some older TVs, cable boxes, and streaming devices because the Netflix app or software on the device can't update to a supported version.

To check if the Netflix version on your device is no longer supported:

  1. On the error screen, select More Details.

  2. Select Device.

  3. Under SDK version or Platform version, check the version number:

    • If your device's version shows 4.1.3 or above:

      • Check for a firmware update for your device. Your device may have an available update to a newer version of the app or software on your device. For help checking for a firmware update, check the manual that came with your device or contact the company that made it.

      • Contact the device manufacturer. Check with the company that made your device to see if it's scheduled to get an update to the Netflix app. You may need to use Netflix on another device until that time.

    • If your device's version shows 4.1.2 or below, the Netflix app or software on your device is no longer supported. To continue watching, you'll need to use a different Netflix-supported device.

  1. Using a computer, phone, or tablet, connect to the same network or Wi-Fi as the device with the problem.

  2. Open a web browser and go to netflix.com/clearcookies.

  3. From the top right, click Sign In.

  4. Sign in to your Netflix account.

    • If you get the error NSEZ-403, it means we can't connect your account to Netflix right now. Try again later.

    • If you don't get an error, continue to the next steps.
