If you've changed the connection settings on your device, you'll need to change them back to default.

If you need help changing these settings, contact the device manufacturer.

Once you've reset these settings, try Netflix again.

To learn about using VPNs with Netflix, how to check if a VPN might be active, or how to get help turning a VPN off, go to Watching TV shows and movies through a VPN.

These steps can often fix the problem. After each step, try Netflix again:

• Turn the VPN app or service off

• Reset the network settings on the device having the issue

• Restore your modem or router to its default settings

  Note:

  For help doing these steps, contact the VPN provider, device's manufacturer, or your internet service provider.

If the steps don't fix the problem, contact your internet service provider (ISP) for help fixing a network connection issue.

Your ISP can:

• Check for an internet outage in your area.

• Fix common router or modem issues and incorrect network settings.

• Restart or reset your network's connection.

While talking with your ISP, let them know:

• Whether the issue happens only on one device, or other devices on the same network.

• Whether your device connects using Wi-Fi or directly using a cable.

Before you finish talking with your ISP:

• Using a web browser, go to fast.com to test your internet speed and connection directly to Netflix.

• Try playing Netflix again to make sure the problem is fixed.
