No worries. Maybe if Apple didn't completely shun optical drives even on their "pro" models this wouldn't be an issue.

I love the extra security of adding the "6" to "12345".

OK, very weird issue for me.

On my home network, Netflix will not load. On WiFi. On wired PCs. On PS4, PS3, iPads, Pixel 3, iPhones, Samsung TV, etc.

Spectrum, my ISP, says there's nothing wrong on their end. I've rebooted modems, routers, applied a new firmware update to no avail. My wife was home yesterday and said that other streaming platforms weren't working either, but by the time I got home, all of the others we use were working.

No other issues with the internet at home - even Battlefield V worked well (from a connection standpoint), and that's usually the canary in the coalmine of impending ISP issues.

I couldn't even get Netflix's help page to load until I went to mobile data.

Is Spectrum throttling Netflix for some reason?

I'd check that the Netflix version is up to date if you haven't yet. And since it is a little unclear, whether you're wired or WiFi it won't load? It could be that they're throttling your internet if other streaming platforms weren't working. I know Comcast was throttling my internet but when I called they said I had an install problem, not the case.

Here's the screenshot of the tracert: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gk0Ab7 ... sp=sharing

We tried using Netflix on every device we have in the house, using WiFi and wired connections. None of them worked, giving connection errors. I'm talking everything from phones, tablets, and gaming consoles. Nada.

That's a whole hell of a lot of hops to get to Netflix, though that's not your issue. You can try two things:
  1. Disable the firewall on your router, restart it, and then try again
  2. Enable verbose logging in your router, restart it, and then try again to see if something is logged
Edit: Does this also apply to Netflix.com on a computer browser?

Yes, it does (meaning we can't connect to it). Multiple browsers, Mac and Windows.

Are you on a device in your home right now? Try going to http://54.173.169.115. It should show you an error with "Netflix" being written at the bottom. I wonder if all of your routes to Netflix are getting hosed up. I would still try one/both of the things I posted above.

Third suggestion: Remove the router from the equation. Plug your cable modem directly into your laptop (DHCP would need to be enabled on it, which is by default unless you changed the config), and reboot the modem. Let the laptop pull your IP and then try connecting to Netflix via a browser. If that works, then it'd point to the router.

Unless you have some sort of filtering enabled on the router, I don't see why Netflix would be blocked.

OK, plugged a laptop directly to the modem and Netflix worked fine. Still not working anywhere else when on wifi or connected through the router.

I clicked on that URL and it gives me a 404 page with Netflix on the bottom.

So it's the router - I think we have the same router, the RT-AC68U. Other than playing with the app, and downloading two firmware updates (one after all of this started happening), I haven't touched anything. No parental controls setup, or blacklisted sites.

Yep, same router. You’ve got a few options to try out now. First thing’s first - save your router’s configuration so that you can restore it if need be later.

Next, what I would do is a factory reset on the router. You can do this from the router’s admin console; I believe it’s on the firmware upgrade page. Once the router is restored to factory defaults, try and connect to Netflix. If you truly had nothing configured in there, you can just setup your wireless network and go on your merry way.

You could then try and restore your old config, but I think that’s where the problem is. That you’re basically blocked from accessing just Netflix has to be a software thing. Could be a DNS issue, too. Either way, I would start with the restore and go from there.

The router reset fixed it. Loaded the saved settings, and once again, no more Netflix. Reset it again, and Netflix loaded right up. Bizarre, considering we use Netflix almost daily and didn’t change anything on the router in between Netflix uses. At least to my knowledge. :lol:

That's odd, but at least you know what the issue is. Just reconfigure whichever settings you had done previously and save that config. Glad it's working again!

I have way too many password to remember them all, so I switched over to a password manager, and it generates random passwords.

On a scale 1 to 10, how hard is it to transfer everything on a hard drive (Windows included) to a different one?
