Hopefully those of you out there can help find a solution to this. I have two Roku stick, one of which functions without issue (Streaming Stick 4k), but unfortunately I'm having problems with the Roku Express.

My Roku Express connects to Netflix without issue, however, it will connect to any other streaming service reliably. I ended up performing a reset of the router and the Roku Express stick, after which it connected to Prime once but since its last use it is now failing to connect. Prime reports error code 0.28 and other services simply fail to initialise/connect.

I've attempted a factory reset of the Roku Express but this hasn't made any noticeable difference. I have various other devices connected to the router including the other Roku stick, PC, mobile phone etc.

We appreciate your report about this playback issue you're experiencing, and we'd like to know more about it. Could you tell us if you've been able to use this before without seeing these issues happening? How far is this device from your router? We would also suggest connecting your device to an alternative network, like a mobile hotspot, to see if that makes a difference.

The Roku box is in the room adjacent to the router. I tested the alternate wifi connection point available and this made no difference and I also tested using the suggested mobile phone hotspot but again, no difference.

If it's of any relevance, when the Roku box starts up it doesn't have the same advertisements/banners I see on the other box within the house prior to obtaining a connection to the network. I've also noticed that the only time the banners populate are on the three occasions I've successfully connected to services other than Netflix.

I have managed to perform firmware updates to both the Roku Express box and my router, however, this issue still persists. The only way I have found as a work around is to perform a Network Connection Reset whenever I wish to use one of the affected services.

@RokuEuniceL - I ensure to keep my devices up to date, however, as per your instruction I checked for updates and I am running the latest version. I have also swapped over my device so that it is powered via a wall socket (first time I've heard of this advice for your devices) and it has made no difference.

Netflix just won't work with the new Orbi. We're getting an error message stating that it looks like we're using an unblocker or VPN...we're not. The guy at Netflix told my wife that, in effect, Netflix doesn't work with Orbi because of the way devices switch between one unit and the other to get the best signal, or something like that. I switched back to our older Netgear router and everything's perfect.

We had the Orbi hard wired into an Arris cable modem from our ISP. All the devices (Sony smart TV, 2 PC laptops, Chromebook, 3iPhones on wifi. Great signal and functionality with everything but Netflix. Took the Orbi off and put our Netgear Nighthawk (R7000) back in and Netflix was immeditely great.

Could also be that the switch to Orbi prompted a DHCP address change from the ISP, and the one the OP got just so happened to previously be assigned to someone who was known to run a relay like Tor. If that's the case, it'll expire on its own...eventually.

I think they're going to have to come up with a better excuse than this. If Orbi had this problem, then all the other distributed/mesh systems out there should also be "incompatable" with Netflix. This is not the case, though. Whether or not you are jumping from satellite to satellite would be completely transparent to Netflix.

As a test, I just started a Netflix stream on my laptop and then started moving around the house. I verifiably saw my laptop jump from one Orbi satellite to another, and Netflix never missed a beat. So, gotta call b.s. on their claim that "Netflix doesn't work with Orbi".

Occasionally on my TV's built in app netflix hiccups - I think this is more a netflix issue. Try signing out of the app and back in. No problems on iPads, chromecasts, and netflix all sorts of different places and locations. Perhaps try a different wifi channel if you're in a congested wifi neighborhood. Try channel 1 or 11.

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy.

ive recently moved house and bought another modem/new internet connection. updated firefox and now getting "insecure connection" errors every time i go to open netflix and a few other HTTPS sites. ive googled it and tried everything - clock settings, cleared caches' etc etc but all to no avail. its on a mac laptop - also up to date. i run ghostery, but thats it - nothing else. its saying its a "SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN" issue.any help would be greatly appreciated - i'm not very tech savvy at all, so please talk in basic terms. please help.cheers,luke.

thanks fred - i tried a few of these, but all to no avail. i ended up calling my internet provider and after some time, they also couldnt isolate/identify the actual issue. i then went on to call the apple help line. solved. the bloke suggested i clean out the cache/cookies in safari - i can never recall using safari. however it fixed the issues with firefox, and surprisingly the "offline" issues ive had with spotify. there was some kind of 3rd party/malware blocking some of these sites.its got me stumped how it worked, but its all sorted now.

I got T-Mobile 5G Home Internet today and after setting it up, Netflix app in not working on any of my devices., but other apps work file. Netflix works fine with my Cellular connection on my phone. I have the Nokia Gateway.

TMobile Is Internet is just unreliable for If you work from home stay clear of TMobile. No one can even give a reasonable time frame on when the disruption will be fixed. In other words calling their Customer Service is useless.

Putting aside the above rhetoric, I had the same problem for the last few days. I subscribe to Netflix as a service outside of T-Mobile. For the last few days, it would load but couldn't stream content or even populate the graphics on the site. It happened right after the Apple TV OS was upgraded to the latest version.

I tried all the obvious solutions, including rebooting Apple TV, my Arcadyan KVD21 5G gateway, and uninstalling and reinstalling the Netflix app. Nothing worked, and the problem was across all my devices, including Apple TV, iPhone, and MacBook Pro.

Suddenly, this morning, everything is working correctly. I'm convinced that the problem was with T-Mobile, and whatever it was, it has resolved itself. If you're still having issues, I'd call Tech Support. I've found them knowledgeable and helpful in resolving these issues. They can reach the tower and tweak settings to your gateway.

We have had T-Mobile home internet for 2 weeks and Netflix is now not working...i can connect to my T=Mobile hot spot from my phone and it works then reconnect to home internet it works for a day and then goes down. the error code we are getting from Netflix is about connection issues...

I am having the EXACT same problem. T-mobile 5G home internet and Netflix (only Netflix) does not stream (or buffers for over a minute then streams in horrible quality. Any iOS device. Apple TV, iPad, iPhone and my Mac.

Here is what I found... Releasing the DHCP lease on the router will release the old IP address. It should then it pick up a new IP address. I did this until I got an IP address outside of that IP block. I also temporarily disabled the firewall within the router.

I am receiving the same error code from Netflix as well: Error code M7037-1101. All other sites work correctly except Netflix (including Youtube for me). But on my Fios home network, I cannot connect through the new STB option, computer or phone. However, Netflix works perfect when I turn the WiFi option off and stream through my LTE connection. It appears Fios has blocked or throttled Netflix.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have been working with Verizon tech support in the past a couple of days to solve this problem. They have done what can be done including reboot ont, router, etc., and even sent me a new gateway router.

I am having the same issue. Tried everything with no resolve. The interesting thing is that I can watch YouTube and Netflix via my computers but not through smart TV or mobile devices connected to wifi.

Thanks guys. I'm at a loss. Any attempts to connect to Netflix through any device on my network appears like it is blocked, behind a proxy. The Set Top Box shows the red Netflix on black screen and the loading symbol just spins. The laptops and phone pull only text, no images or graphics appear. If I turn WiFi off on my phone and use the LTE, Netflix instantly pulls in all of the info and graphics and works normally. All other sites I have tested seem to work completely fine. I have rebooted the ONT, router, devices, etc as mentioned to no avail. Any thoughts to be able to even explain this to a Verizon support person?

Having the same issue here in pittsburgh. Youtube works occasionally from my macbook, not at all on phone/ipad. No netflix at all. Pulls up fine when not on my home wifi. If verizon doesnt acknowledge this or find a fix I'm switching ISPs. This is ridiculous.
