If possible, connect your device to a different internet access point, then try Netflix again. Some examples:
Attempt to connect to a different Wi-Fi network in range of your device.
Bring your device to a neighbor's or friend's house and attempt to stream.
If you have the ability to connect to a mobile hotspot from your device, try using it to connect to Netflix. While we generally don't advise streaming over a data network as a fix, it's a good way to see if a home network configuration issue is what's keeping you from streaming reliably.
If you're able to stream using a different internet connection, we recommend checking with whoever set up your home network to resolve any potential issues with the way the network is configured.
If you're attempting to stream on a work or school network, or public Wi-Fi, talk with the network's administrator to make sure it supports streaming services such as Netflix. If it does not, you will not be able to stream Netflix TV shows or movies.
To pinpoint your issue:
Using a computer on the same network as your device, go to netflix.com/clearcookies.
