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 feel like no one is listening to the actual problem. I have it too, every streaming service on AppleTV works great, except Netflix. I have the 4k Premium plan on Netflix, but that doesn't seem to matter. My AppleTV is connected via ethernet to the same network as my laptop, my laptop can play Netflix fine via the browser. I also tested streaming Netflix from my iPad to the AppleTV and it was fine. I think the issue is in the Netflix AppleTV app.
Update: the Apple TV was using a 1080p display. There are other threads reporting issues with Netflix when using a 1080p display. The problem does not appear to occur if the Apple TV is connected to a 4K display. There is some bug when Netflix needs to output 4K content on 1080p. This bug is specific to the Netflix app (does not occur with other streaming apps).
The quality of Netflix streams depends on the quality of the home network/internet connection, but also on the Netflix plan. Verify that the subscription on the TV app and Apple TV box are about the same subscription plan.
Regular troubleshooting will always be the first step, if you have verified things on your end and it is evident that that the issue is specific to the Netflix app on Apple TV then you will need to report that to Netflix as they are the ones who will need to get to the root of that and put out a fix.
Netflix has become the go-to source for streaming TV shows and movies, but how do you get it on your TV? We'll show you how to connect Netflix to a TV so that you can watch all of your favorite content from the comfort of your living room.
The Netflix app can be found on the home screen or main menu of smart TVs that support Netflix. Try searching for Netflix in the app store on your TV to see if it's there. Then do the following steps:
Chromecast is a compact streaming device. It is connected to your TV's HDMI connection with a cable that is included. Your TV's HDMI ports are often numbered. Keep track of the number of HDMI ports you are using.
Now that you know how to connect Netflix to TV, you can enjoy watching your favorite shows and movies in high definition. We hope this guide has provided you with the information needed to successfully connect Netflix to your TV! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us!
Regardless of your TV type, there are a few things that you can check first. If model-specific information is needed, refer to your product manuals. Check if the issue is resolved after completing each step.
When using Wi-Fi, the router's distance to your device is another factor to consider. To maximize your viewing experience when streaming video or listening from an audio app, make sure that the router is placed near your device. They shouldn't be more than 25 feet away from each other. If possible, install both devices in a location without walls in between them. Other wireless devices such as Bluetooth speakers, wireless phones, microwave ovens, and devices sending a radio frequency may also cause poor signal strength.
Streaming issues are often either a temporary condition with the streaming service or an issue with your network connection and internet. These options may help determine if your issue is related to your current ISP (internet service provider) and network conditions.
If you're comfortable making Wi-Fi changes to the network settings of your TV and you're familiar with using a hotspot and have a capable device, you can set up your hotspot and then change the Wi-Fi connection for your TV from your current network to the hotspot connection you created for testing. If your issue is resolved using a hotspot, then the issue is with your network, not your TV. Check your product manuals for model-specific information to change your Wi-Fi settings.
The list of applications may change after an update to your device. You may also need to update or refresh the list of applications if it's been a while since you used the internet features on your device.
One of my housemates hit me with a quirky question this weekend: Netflix, which had previously been working just fine on his TV, was no longer loading. Everything else about the TV worked fine, but Netflix just kept cycling through connection attempts, punctuated with endless tvq-rnd-100" errors.
Say what you will about Reddit, Twitter or any of the other sprawling communities where people hang out and complain help each other solve their various tech problems. Online forums and social media services are incredibly valuable for troubleshooting, because odds are good that you can find someone (or lots of people) who have had the same issue as you.

Yes, this is certainly the most obvious, but when was the last time you asked your provider how fast its offerings are now? If it's been a few years, it likely has new services (maybe even fiber) that could greatly increase your download speeds. Recently I switched from 250Mbps cable to 1Gbps fiber for $10 less a month. When I canceled the cable internet they said "Oh, we can reduce your rate by $30 a month, or increase your speeds for the same money." They, of course, never offered that without me saying I was canceling. Just something to keep in mind.
