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

"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 then need to open up another brave browser (or chrome), drag it onto the TV, make the browser full-screen and then move it back to the PC screen.
I then click the full-screen button on netflix to make it small again and then like it again to make it full-screen and only then does it cover the whole screen.
This was an old Chrome bug I remember. But Chrome fixed that issue a few updates ago. To fix it I had to take the browser out of maximize mode - minimize mode and then click full screen on the video player youtube/netflix.

Turns out its a copy protection scheme by MSFT and Netflix. Connecting an external monitor to your laptop to display the netflix content is not supported see response from Netflix. I have to wonder what happens to people who use HDMI TVs as their primary monitor... So I have to use my chrome web browser or chromebook to watch Netflix on my tv or go get a new device. Thanks for your response
Seems that what is happening, is that, watching Netflix like connecting your computer to a TV is not an official way to watch so is more like a work around, what is happening is that Netflix is protecting the content from copy rights, connecting it to a TV the app and IE take it as a way to copy the content, I know you are not doing this, but Netflix take is as an attempt for this and blocks the content, as Chrome is an Open Source project, the content is not protected like in other browsers and this is why you can watch it with no problems, my team is suggesting that you can try using a different cable that does not have this HDCP protection or keep using Chrome as it work as you wish in your TV!
Why am I unable to connect to my many Chromecast devices from windows 11, like i can from my android phone. I have netflix installed on my windows 11 laptop but there is no option to project the vision to to my Chromecast. I know you can use Chrome and cast a screen but this is cumbersome and not the best picture. It works perfectly on android and wondering why its not the same on windows 11.
Windows 11 is an entirely seperate operating system than android or chromeOS so there will be limitations. The best way to cast is using Chrome and casting from Netflix, you should still be able to cast the video and not just the browser/screen as long as you are on the same wireless network. As an alternative, you can ask your Google assistant to play a title from Netflix on your Chromecast, have you tried that?
I can access my Netflix account via my computer and can stream to my Xbox and other laptops. I've been on the phone three different times with Netflix tech support and they're telling me it's currently a "known issue" with iPads - but there's no ETA and and I'm not seeing any other reports of this on other forums.
Both of my iPad2s (32gb WiFi) can now access NetFlix with no problem. However, these are my daughters' iPads. MY iPad is a 1st gen 64gb 3G and yet I still cannot access NetFlix. I'm getting the "cannot connect to Netflix at this time..." error.
Not sure what this "known issue" with iPads would be with Netflix's iPad app. That would be like Microsoft claiming a problem with Word for the Mac is an OS X or a particular Mac model problem they have nothing to do with whatsoever.
Just so you don't feel all alone on this, yes, I'm having exactly the same problem ... except that it's with my iPhone. I can connect through the TV and desktop ... but not using the Netflix application I just downloaded from the iTunes store. I launch the "app" using WIFI and get the "We are unable to connect you to Netflx. Please try again later" message. Worse ... the "app" is frozen ... so there's no maneuvering.
I am having the exact same issue on my iPad 2 (16gb wifi) and, just like you, the Netflix screen freezes with the error message up immediately upon opening the app. Also having no problems streaming from my iPhone, laptop, or PS3. Sorry I can't help but I'm glad I'm not alone!
So I called NetFlix tech support for the 4th time last night. This time, they didn't even pretend to have a clue what the problem was. They had me reinstall the app, they changed my password, blah blah blah. Finally they told me "it's obviously an Apple DNS issue you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar". HUH????You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. I can get to EVERY website and access my corporate Exchange email. This is NOT an DNS issue and Apple is not my ISP. So with that, I've canceled my NetFlix account.
I can't get access to netflix via iPad. I can via wii and computer. Netflix has sent me to apple but I don't want to pay 39.99 for support. Hoping someone knows what to do so I can get access given my son is using the wii right now
Assuming that your iPad (regardless of whether it's an iPad or iPad2) can connect to netflix.com through the iPad's Safari browser, you're probably not going to get this resolved. The problem is at the Netflix end and the fact that they are redirecting users to Apple indicates that they don't have a solution and are grasping at straws. That said, I suppose it's possible that Apple made a change in iOS 4.3.3 that may have broken connectivity with Netflix's streaming servers but if that were the case, we would see a lot more users complaining about this.
Coming around full circle (at least in my case), for sh!tz and grinz, I reopened my Netflix account today. Now I'm getting it once again on my iPad and both iPad2s. Note that I had to delete the Netflix app and reinstall it on all 3 iPads, but I'd done this MANY times over the past several weeks.
i'm assuming it's something on the netflix servers and how they handle requests from the apps on Apple devices. As you say they've obviously changed something on their backend. too bad they wouldn't own up to it instead of trying to say "Apple DNS" obviously they don't understand basic networking ;-)
I am having the same problem, started july 8. did a netflix rest in the settings box on my ipad1, reinstalled my app, then called netflix support. they found out that my ip address had me in Colorado, rather than Virginia, and that was the problem. I use DSL for my internet connection. They suggest I call Apple support, but Apple would not help. I will try to release my ip address and see if that fixes it.
