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?

Thanks for letting us know, @Rwandagirl.

May we know what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far? Also, when did you start seeing this issue? Alternatively, upon exhausting the provided fixes, were you able to communicate with the channel provider to inquire further and ask for additional troubleshooting steps? If so, what were your findings?

Please keep us updated.
