Check if your connection is slower than our recommended speeds and contact your internet service provider if you need help.

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.

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

Netflix allows watching TV shows and movies through a VPN, but VPN, proxy, or unblocker apps and services might cause problems or change which TV shows and movies are available to watch.

If you use these apps or services, try these steps:

• Turn the app or service off and try Netflix again.

• Reset the network settings on the device with the issue.

• Restore your modem or router to your internet provider's default settings.

  Note:

  For help with these steps, contact your ISP or your device's manufacturer.

If you have an IPv6 connection:

• Netflix will work with standard IPv6 connections.

• Netflix doesn't work with connections that tunnel IPv6 traffic over an IPv4 network.

Contact your internet service provider. They can tell you if your modem/router is set up and working correctly.
