If the problem persists, repeat everything one more time to rule out that you have missed something: It is important to carefully follow each step of the previous solutions and make sure you are doing the actions correctly. If the problem persists after you have tried all the solutions, it is possible that the problem is related to your internet provider or the network configuration they are providing you. In this case, we recommend that you contact your internet provider or Netflix customer service for further assistance.

Check your connection with your Internet Service Provider (ISP): If after a thorough review everything seems to be in order, it is likely that the problem lies with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). ). Occasionally, your ISP may block certain ports that affect your streaming, gaming, and productivity settings. They do this either for maintenance tasks and/or for security.
