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.

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.

After they said to check my connections for like the fourth time, I replaced the splitter with an identical part and also the coax cable between the splitter and wall. Things seemed better but now they are bad again. While watching Netflix, the service has dropped 3-4 times in two hours. The checking for issue feature keeps saying my internet connection is the issue. Is it true that a bad internet router could cause Netflix to drop? I am so aggravated with this issue.

Hi, I've had my Android TV now for about 3 months and never had any connection issues. However, yesterday the power went off and when it came back on we had no issues with any other deviced in the house, all connected and carried on working fine. The TV came back on and appeared to connect back to the WIFI, but when I tried YouTube - no connection. I tried various other apps, and only Netflix works; and works fine as I watched a movie to test it.

I have tried another router, and again everything else works but the TV is the same, only Netflix works. I have disconnected, reconnected, connected with manual password, connected via WPS still the same. I saw a post that suggested WIFI direct causes an issue, but mine is not on. In fact, I put it on, tried it, then off and tried again and it made no difference.

I went into the 'initial setup' for the TV and started again, but still the same. I have been into the network settings and tried setting it as IPV6 but that doesn't work. So, any help would be appreciated.

Although I had to set the date and time back up after the power cut, it was set 3 minutes different to the time that was showing on my phone, so I set the TV to get the time from the network and it fixed it there and then. So all caused by the time being 3 minutes out. I'm not sure why Netflix carried on working whereas all other apps said there was no internet connection, but now it's fixed I won't worry about it.

Good work on finding the solution. I had the same problem one year on from you with the same issue with my builder switching off the house main power. The TV was showing a 1-hour difference so I followed what you did and it fixed the problem.

OMG, I can't believe this, my WiFi has been connected for over a year, couldn't connect today to watch something, reset router lost all Internet had to reset and set up broadband, what a ball ache, checked time, how the hell does this affect the TV?? But it worked, bloody hell Sony

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.
