The first thing you should check is whether there\u2019s a Netflix outage. Sometimes there\u2019s a problem with the Netflix servers, and you\u2019re dealing with a widespread outage. If your Netflix app doesn\u2019t work or your shows aren\u2019t buffering, the streaming service is probably down. Fortunately, this is easy to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to downdetector<\/a>, and you\u2019ll immediately know if Netflix is down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any user can report if they have a problem with Netflix. When there are a lot of reports, chances are the service isn\u2019t working, and it\u2019s not your fault. There\u2019s nothing you can do if the servers are down. Additionally, you can also check on netflix.com<\/a> if the streaming service is interrupted for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t If these websites show that everything is fine with the platform, try watching Netflix using another device. In many cases, you\u2019re dealing with a connectivity issue<\/a> or device glitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assuming Netflix itself isn\u2019t down, the most common reason Netflix is not working is your internet connection or Wi-Fi link. So make sure you\u2019re connected to the internet in the first place and that you have a working connection.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your connection is working, it still might be too slow for streaming. Netflix recommends at least three megabits per second (3 MBPS) for standard definition (SD) and five megabits per second (5 MBPS) for high definition (HD) streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use an internet speed checker<\/a> to see how good your connection is. Wait for the website to analyze your connection, and it will tell you everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t If everything looks fine, your ISP might be dealing with a service outage. Use your phone to check your provider\u2019s website and social media for any announcements or look them up on DownDetector. As a last resort, give your ISP a call and be patient while they try to sort things out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If your internet is down and it\u2019s not because of your isp, restart your router or modem. In some cases, it might even look like you\u2019re connected to the internet, but you can\u2019t access any website or online app. These issues can often be fixed by a router reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The easiest way to reboot your router is by pressing its reset button. All routers have a physical reset button, and all you need to do is press it and wait for a minute for the device to configure itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like any app, Netflix sometimes glitches. Try logging out of Netflix and back in. If this doesn\u2019t clear the issue, try reinstalling the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reinstalling the Netflix app is easy on any device. Whether you\u2019re using an Android or iOS mobile device, an Xbox or Samsung smart TV, you can easily uninstall the app to remove any corrupt files. Afterward, all you need to do is download the Netflix app as you did initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A temporary system bug can prevent Netflix from working on your device. A restart will usually fix this problem. This step is valid for any device, whether it\u2019s an iPhone, Roku player, or Microsoft Xbox console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can shut down your device, wait for a minute, and then turn it back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t If you\u2019re using a smart TV, particularly Samsung, turn it off and wait for 30 seconds before turning it back on. Unplugging it might also help after turning it off. This method allows everything to reset fully. If it doesn\u2019t work, consider reverting the smart TV to factory settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re using the Netflix app on your PlayStation and Xbox consoles, you should restart them as well if the other troubleshooting steps didn\u2019t help. The console apps are known for being buggy, and a reset works in most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you using a VPN, and Netflix suddenly stopped working? Are you getting an error message like \u201cYou seem to be using an unblocker or proxy?\u201d Netflix doesn\u2019t like VPNs, and it probably detected that you’re using one, so you lost access to the streaming service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Netflix is actively trying to blacklist virtual private networks because people use them to change Netflix regions. If you\u2019re using one, make sure it\u2019s still compatible with Netflix. Otherwise, disable it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, Netflix helps you figure out the problem by displaying an error code. Some are related to a connectivity issue, while others pop up because of a specific device-related issue. You can even get errors if you\u2019re trying to access restricted Netflix content. Below you\u2019ll find the most common Netflix error codes and how to fix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Error code UI-800-3 means you have a problem with the Netflix app data, and it prevents you from connecting to the streaming service. You can solve this error by clearing your device\u2019s cache or simply reinstalling the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Error code 100 pops up when you have a problem with the Netflix app or with the data it stores. This error is common with the Amazon Fire TV, but you can also encounter it with the AppleTV or iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you see this error, restart your device. If it still appears, try restoring your device to factory settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/a><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n2. Check Your Internet Connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
