ReversibleUse another phone or computer if necessary. If Netflix reports an interruption, wait for the official status to clear before changing device or account settings.
See whether another service works
ReversibleOpen a public website or another streaming app on the same network. If nothing works, troubleshoot the home internet connection instead of the Netflix app.
Restart the affected device
ReversibleTurn it fully off—not just standby. If it has a power cable, unplug it, wait briefly, reconnect it and try Netflix again.
Restart the home network
ReversibleTurn off the streaming device, unplug the modem and router, reconnect them after 30 seconds, wait for internet service to return and then retry the device.
Sign out only when the credentials are available
Signs you outIf the problem is isolated to the Netflix session, sign out from Get Help or the error details screen and sign back in. Do not do this during a confirmed provider outage.

Exact questions
Common questions about “Is Netflix down—or is the problem local?”
Why does Netflix fail on only one TV?+
If Netflix works on another device using the same network, the fault is more likely the affected app, stored session, device software or connection—not a provider-wide outage.
Should I reset my TV if Netflix is down?+
No. Wait for the official interruption to clear. A reset cannot resolve a provider outage and can create additional sign-in work.
