Hi - I am having serious issues downloading and streaming content on my Deco x60. In particular, streaming or downloading content on Netflix is a problem (on my ipad, iphone, and tvs). I frequently get an error. I have also tried changing my IPv4 DNS, turned off (and on) beamforming and fast roarming.
In addition to the netflix issues, other streaming services sometimes do not work. Finally, when I try to download large files for work, it only downloads 3-5MB of the total and then stops and says download failed.
On all of the devices, other services, such as google, youtube, etc. work and have no issues. And when I test the internet speed, it says I have no problems, with over 100 Mbps down and 40 mbps up. Thank you for your help.
I was testing it again, and it seems like it isnt as much of an issue when I am connected to the main deco, only to the mesh ones. Not sure if it matters, but I am using ethernet cables to backlink with the main deco. The problem is that I am mainly connected the mesh / endpoint decos, not the main one. Also, it appears that if I connect to the main deco (over wifi), download something on netflix, and then go to a different area and use the mesh, streaming sometimes works for a short period of time, then fails again.
I'm having something of a bizarre issue with my Fios service. It started a couple weeks ago. Some streaming services work fine (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video) while others do not load videos. (Paramount+, Disney+). When I attempt to play video on these services, it just loads endlessly and then times out.
The services work fine if I switch to cellular network service instead of the home wifi network.
Things I have tried:
Rebooting all devices, including the router
Reinstalling the streaming apps
Factory reset of the router
I called tech support and they tried bifurcating my home wireless network into 5Gg and 2.4G (so I could be sure to connect to 5G) and that didn't work.
Any idea on what this could be? Just trying to get these working so my 3 year old can watch Peppa Pig!
This all happened with an unstable router update a couple weeks ago. I had no internet at all and one of the TVs was down the Verizon tech came out and changed a few things and reset the router and doing tests it upload and downloads fast but I noticed that certain apps and things don't work.
Things work when I use 4 or 5G on the phone no issues there but when at home hooked to the router Disney+, Nest, Instagram and Twitter don't work correctly. (I am sure there are more just the ones I know about). Then the Verizon Stream TV Soundbar Disney+ does not work, the sound bar would not update so I had to turn phone into a hot spot to use the sound bar and update, Also other apps load really slow or don't work at all and hang. Everything was perfect and none of this crap happened prior to that Verizon router update. I was hoped for another router update to fix their errors but nothing happened yet.
If you know how to disable IPV6 on a Verizon Router (CR1000A) and a Fios Extender. Model: E3200 let me know I'll try searching around some more but this is the most about this current situation I can find is to disable IPV6
Found out how to shut if off go to the user guide here -router-cr1000a/ soon as logged in and shut off IPV6 everything started working. Both Stream TV bar and Verizon Samsung S22 Ultra all of a sudden got notifications from apps that were not working properly with IPV6 enabled.
THANK YOU. After 3 months of going back and forth with Verizon, buying a brand new Firestick, and telling them over and over it HAD to be a setting on my router but I wasn't sure which, this was the solution.
For the last few weeks 2 amazon firesticks and one andriod tv box will not work properly for hbomax and disney plus. All work fine if connecting to my cell plan hotspot service. Verizon just had us replace the router and still the same. Seems to be their end blocking traffic. Spent 2 hrs this weekend while they troubleshoot on their end. If don't get a solution will be switching to another provider as this is the main way we use our internet and TV.
Has anyone experienced any issues with streaming devices connecting to their Fios wifi? I have a Stream TV device that Verizon sent as a sign on gift or something. It worked fine for like 2 years then suddenly stopped connecting to my wifi. After many calls, nobody was able to help me and I finally found a solution on Youtube. Once I had the thing connected to my wifi again, none of the apps were working. For example, I can log into HBO Max, trailers will play before the movie begins, but then the movie just buffers and does not play. This is happening on every single streaming app. The apps are clearly connected to the network, but when you try to play anything, it will not play. Now I figured maybe it's the Stream TV device so I went out and bought a Firestick. Same issue is happening with the Firestick. The device is only about a foot away from my router so it's not that. I can stream any app on my iPad connected to the exact same wifi with no problems. Now the weird thing is, when I connect to my phone's hotspot using my cellular data, everything is working. It seems like something is not connecting properly between my router to my TV and to these streaming devices. I have called Verizon probably 10 times now speaking to different people each time. They finally sent me a replacement router which did not help anything. I have factory reset every thing you can think of, tried on different TV's, updated every device to the current software.
I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to post your comments and opinions related to this topic. This topic has been thoroughly discussed and will now be closed. Please feel free to open a new thread for further discussion. Thank you.
Pretty sure my device is just dying. I have Roku express streaming player which is only about 18 months old and is suddenly not connecting due to poor wifi signal. It's been trouble free up to now and suddenly started to misbehave, it worked perfectly one day, then would not connect the next. (Nothing changed elsewhere)
My suspected dodgy Roku Express indicated a signal strength of around 15 (I assume out of 100) Simply switching boxes to my Roku Premier, and touching nothing else, I get an indicated 34. So more than double.
Good luck. I've been quite pleased with my Streaming Stick+. Me only complaint is a couple of times a month I lose wifi connection and have to jump through a hoop or two to get it reestablished, but I've gotten pretty good at it.
I'll leave it a couple of weeks and then try it again, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it sorted itself out like the last issue eventually did. Gut feeling is it's a software update issue, possibly at Netflix's end, but who knows, the customer support/feed back is nigh on none existent.
Wile trying to bottom the issue I've used the "Secret screen" menu and also noticed these things run hot! My device is used in a cool bedroom at around 18deg C. The Roku hits 88-90degs and that is not streaming 4K. I'm pretty sure the processor is already beginning to throttle as you can see the clock freq stepping up and down. I would imagine the lifespan of these devices will be pretty short running as hot as they do. Rubbish design on the heat management side.
