Netflix still works absolutely fine on devices with a direct wired connection to the modem (i.e. my desktop computer) and Netflix stills works fine on devices with a WiFi connection to the modem (2 mobiles phones, a Microsoft Surface tablet).
However on a Sony Android television, a Sony UHD BluRay player, and an Oppo BluRay player, Netflix now gives error NW-2-5 when these devices are connected through the Netgear GS108 switch. (All their other network functions and diagnostics appear to be fine).
If connect the television or either disc player directly to the cable modem, bypassing the GS108 switch, Netflix works fine again.
I'm baffled as to why the Netgear switch has stopped working with Netflix, anyone have any suggestions? (I don't think it has anything that can be configured!)
I have tried switching everything off and back on again, of course

Not a very detailed description of anything. What is your "my cable
modem"? Is it a modem, or a modem+router?
> [...] when these devices are connected through the Netgear GS108
> switch. [...]
"when these devices are connected" _to_ _what_ "through the Netgear
GS108 switch"?
What, exactly, is connected to what, exactly? (Hint: If a device has
multiple Ethernet ports, then "connected to device" is not enough
detail.)
If your (unspecified) "my cable modem" is a modem (not a
modem+router), then you can expect trouble if you connect multiple
devices to it through a network switch. Your (unspecified) cable-TV ISP
service probably allows you one public IP address, which will be granted
to the first of your gizmos which they see. After that, there'll be a
fight over that one address, leaving all but one device unsatisfied.
If your (unspecified) "my cable modem" is a modem+router, then you
should be able to connect many devices to it through a network switch.

Swell. What _is_ "everything"?
Yeah, but everything worked fine for months until last week. (Which suggests either my ISP pushed out some firmware or config change, I guess, or Netflix changed something at their end...) On the admin dashboard page for the modem, I can see all four devices have been assigned a unique IPv4 address by DHCP.
But also: the ZTE modem, the Netgear GS108 switch, a NAS, my desktop PC, two mobile phones, a Kindle, a television, two BluRay players and a home cinema amp. All of which, when powered back up in a sensible order, appeared to obtain connectivity fine, except that Netflix wouldn't work on the ones going through the GS108 switch.
I am trying to build a video streaming platform and I need to implement a limited devices login feature just like netflix. I have seen some people using node device detector to get the device type from the useragent, but I don't think this is a good solution since the user agent can be faked. Please any ideas on how to effectively implement this?
I have the Basic Netflix account through my Volt package. Initially this was working as expected, I could watch Netflix in 2 devices simultaneously, until recently it stopped working. I can watch Netflix on 2 of my Virgin boxes but when I try to watch on an iPad, 3rd Netflix box, phone etc, I get a message that my payment details need to be updated.
Hi Dave I have three Virgin boxes l, NF works on 2 of them and no other devices, last week I received a notification last week from NF that my account is now suspended due to non payment, gone from bad to worse.
I'm trying to set up my home network and after watching the network usage for the last few weeks it looks like youtube and Netflix seem to be the issue. I have Download Throttling Rules set up for Youtube and Netflix with a limit on each (512kbit/s for each source) but I don't think it's working properly. I'm also seeing a lot of traffic to Netflix that doesn't seem to be grouped into the Netflix server list.
I searched the forums to find something and I wasn't able to locate anything that seemed helpful. I'd like to either set up a monthly pool for each device on the network, or alternatively throttle certain devices to Standard Definition or 720p. Currently it's listing a lot (51.6%) of traffic as "unclassified", YouTube is at 23.94% and Netflix is at 15.91%.
The way I have the firewall set up currently the default Network Protection rule Internal > any > any is disabled which should block any unknown devices from accessing the network. I have it set up currently so that each mac is bound to a static IP, each static/mac is then tied to a network definition "kid 1 roku" for example, those devices are tied to time period definitions.
If there is a better way to block all unknown devices from accessing the network (the kids have the password to the wifi and acquired rogue devices that were accessing content that wasn't age appropriate) I'm all ears.
If the issue persists from one channel after attempting the suggested by RokuLianna, videos from other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help.
Having same problem with Netflix on two new 4K sticks and three year old Ultra Netflix error tvq-st-106.. No problem on laptop or Android tv. Have tried EVERYTHING suggested in the past 10 pages of posts except switching to Firestick. Evrything has been updated, restarted, uninstalled, installed, refreshed multiple times. This is not my first rodeo.
Half hour on the phone with Netflix (they told me I didn't know how to enter my password - really, there are upper and lower case letters? Didn't know that, sheesh!- and then that it was an ISP problem. Sure after three years there's a sudden ISP problem.
For some reason Netflix platform and Roku devices in my house won't talk anymore. Both parties have some responsibility here; so fix it. If I have to replace three Rokus with Firestick, I won't be coming back.
Have you tried removing the affected channel Netflix and then re-install again? If not, we suggest starting there. In some cases, removing the affected channel and then re-installing it may help. Restart your device before re-adding the channel back in to ensure the process is successful. We recommend doing this through the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If there is no Power submenu, proceed to the next step.) > System restart.
To ensure the process of removing and re-adding the Netflix channel is successful, make sure to restart your device before adding the channel back in. from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > System restart > Restart. However, if it still has no dice and the issue is only with the channel alone, this is a good indication that there is likely an issue within that specific channel that will need to be addressed with an update from the channel publisher. Channels on Roku are created and maintained by each channel publisher. In this case, you'll want to reach out to Netflix support directly to share your feedback.

It will see it through the chromecast app, I can stream to it through youtube. BUt once I enter the netflix application and hit the chromecast button it does not see any chromecasts. Wierdly it does see a couple roku's and an xbox.
I've run into this exact weirdness on campus. Each of the past 5 chromecast setups were for someone using an iPhone and all 5 of them wouldn't work with Netflix, but Hulu, youtube, etc... everything else works. That and the Andriod Netflix for the same Chromecast works fine. Any chrome browser as well running netflix.
I spent time searching through every blocked airgroup service I could and still not sure. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be more people with this issue. It works perfectly on an Andriod - and just fine for the students at home on the same two devices.
I editted my post until I could do some additional testing.. We just upgraded to ArubaOS 6.5.1.(4) from 6.4.3.(10) and IOS chromecast support has gotten worse. While I can still see the chromecast in Google Home, now I can't see it in YouTube where I could previously. I can cast from Chrome on MacOS and Windows, and Android can access it with all Apps, but nothing now from IOS. Does anyone have an active TAC call open on this or should I pursue it?
