I work for a community college with super tight IT budget strings. Our Wi-Fi sucks in a couple of buildings do to the sheer number of users attempting to logon and Netflix/WoW there days away. (seriously a full 45% of our used bandwidth is folks hitting Netflix/Edgecast servers from our Wi-Fi VLAN.)
Depends on what method they use. For instance do you have a locally hosted web server? If they hit the web server with thousands of simultaneous requests they bog down not only the Wi-Fi VLAN but your web server as well.
Your job is to protect the network and if this has any chance of doing any damage to the main network I would take the WIFI down right now and inform the schools administration including the president of the college, dean of students and their instructor. If they want better WIFI tell them to pony up the $$ to upgrade that part of the system.
In the absence of a code of conduct, you may wish to advise the management. Perhaps they can come up with one pretty quick at least to cover your bases, perhaps even retroactively, and you may want to run any wording by counsel (not that enterprising paralegal) as well.
I love how this new generation of me-first spoiled brats thinks money grows on trees. Perhaps a communication to everyone that enterprise gear costs a lot of money and unless they want their tuition hiked or an annual technology levy attached to their fees then they should you know, grow up.
The first thing you need is a firewall that can filter traffic based on Application / Application Control and block Netflix and WoW. That number is ridiculous. They can watch Netflix in their dorm. Not in the computer lab.
Long ago a Senior class project was to wire up the campus dorms for internet. The College IT department refused to make it live over concerns they would need more connection speed, DUH!. It took a year and false advertising claims from dorm residents who still had to use dial up to get it working.
Besides that, to answer you question about what to look for, I guess you may find out soon. I assume the student wifi is completely isolated from any resources besides Internet access? If not, that could be an issue. Also, if the APs use multiple SSIDs I suppose they could crash the wireless and cause non-student users to not be able to access it either.
Is it possible to download and older version of Netflix? My toddler deleted Netflix off of our iPad mini and we can restore the app as the current version of Netflix is not compatible with the iOS on the mini.
Thanks Michel. I've got the same issue as the OP, I've got a spare first generation iPad, your workaround used to work BUT I believe Netflix have taken the older version off the Appstore since their 28 November 2018 update. I hope they just forgot to put it back on.
If you have a newer iDevice and downloaded the new version of Netflix, you go back to your older iPad, open the iOS App Store App. In the lower menu under purchased, tap and look for Netflix app in your list of purchased apps.
If the older versions of Netflix are still on the iOS App Store servers, you should get a pop-up message stating an older compatible version of the app is available for download and would you like to download it?
If you used my iTunes 12.6.5 method and were successful in downloading and installing iTunes 12.6.5, you then create a new iTunes library, log into the iOS App Store from within iTunes, using your Apple ID and password.
You need to download the newest version to a newer iDevice or download the newest version of the app from the iOS App Store using iTunes 12.6.5, first before attempting to download the older version of the app.
Hi there. I've got the same issue and just had a chat with Netflix; confirming my hunch that the older version of the Netflix iOS app is no longer available from the Appstore since their 28th November update. Shame because the older version was working perfectly just fine. In short, for now I hope, older iDevices won't work with Netflix anymore. Chat transcript below; also told Netflix that they should tell the customers that the older version is no longer available, save us the headache of trying to figure it out ourselves.
The version of Netflix that I still have on my other 2010 iPad running iOS 5.1.1 still works fine, it a bit slow with showing all of the movie/TV content. Otherwise, still streams fine from that 8-year old iPad.

Netflix expanded into content production in 2012 and is now one of the world's leading studios. With a culture of continual innovation, the company wanted to build a visual effects (VFX) studio in the cloud to attract top VFX and animation artists worldwide and enable seamless collaboration between global teams. Using NICE DCV and Amazon EC2 G4 Instances, Netflix built remote workstations without having to choose between responsiveness and image quality. Learn how Netflix went from beta to launch in just 1 year, reducing technological and geographical barriers for artists while optimizing costs.
AWS chief information security officer Steve Schmidt sits down with Jason Chan, vice president of information security at Netflix, to talk about security strategy, building a security program, Zero Trust, and cats as a unique threat model.
Before migrating to Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES), Netflix maintained an in-house solution for sending email. This solution carried its own operational overhead, including running dedicated servers with email-delivery software and optimizing email-send practices for each Internet Service Provider. Netflix needed an email solution that was flexible, affordable, highly scalable, and that had global reach. Learn how Netflix uses Amazon SES to overcome these challenges and the benefits the company realized by using the service.
Downloading refers to the process of retrieving data from the internet and saving it onto your device. When you stream content on Netflix, your device (such as a smartphone, computer, or smart TV) downloads portions of the video data in real time.
Absolutely! A 40 Mbps connection is more than sufficient for a single device streaming in HD or even 4K quality. However, if you live in a busy household, or want to scroll through social media whilst streaming you might experience some buffering.
