How to fix Netflix not working on my Roku streaming device

8 Nov 2023

I have looked at previous posts and solutions. My issues are similar. Details are:

When logged int Netflix:
[1] After selection loading never completes.
[2] During playing of a selection playing stops and attempts to load and never starts again.
[3] When trying to select, changing selection takes > 30s.
[4] Unable to change selections.

In all cases I investigated the state of my internet connection modem and router from my PC. In all cases both modem and router were operational and I had internet WiFi access on several devices.

During the last failure, item [2] above, I was successful in watching the program after I switched to my TV Netflix connection. So, TV works, Roku doesn't.

From reading the other posts this appears to be a common problem. When will this be solved by Roku?
