I could really use help figuring out what my next move should be.

A couple of weeks ago, Netflix went out across all our streaming devices - 2 Roku tvs, a firestick and an LG tv. I get an error that it can't connect to Netflix servers. However, my phone and laptop (on same WiFi) can connect.

I've followed the error code troubleshooting (hard restarts of tv, router, etc). Nothing.

I called my ISP - they couldn't help, but did send me a new router (mine was quite old). New router didn't help.

Even got a new Firestick. Still didn't work.

Contacted Netflix Help - they were worthless.

Anyone have any ideas? Other than "cancel Netflix?"

Can you connect to other services, like YouTube, on your streaming devices?

From the Netflix app, go to get help then check your network. What are the results of the network tests?

Strange. I'd try going to netflix.com > account > sign out of all devices. Then log your streaming devices back on.

Nope. Didn't work. Thanks for trying, though.

maybe if you did

Netflix would then help you get going again.

Did you delete the app on all devices then reinstall?

Several, but not all. Think I need to delete all of them at once?

I've tried deleting from one of the rokus and the firestick. I have not deleted from the LG tv or the other Roku tv.

Nope. I checked the device usage online and it's all me.

Seems like you’ve tried just about everything.

My guess is it’s an update issue or possibly some password problem.

Maybe try making a new password and logging in again.

Have you tried taking the firestick over to a friend's or family member's house and trying it there?

It sounds like you can log into Netflix.com, does everything work from there?

Try logging on to Netflix from your phone on your data.

If that works, it’s your ISP. Turn off your firewall and give it a shot.

I'm going to take the firestick over to me mom's at some point.

Everything works on my phone and my laptop/browser.
