When your internet starts to get wonky, it can throw all kinds of things out whack.One of those things is Netflix. If you're trying to stream on Netflix, but you keep getting the error code NW-2-4, it means there is a network connection issue. Fortunately, a few troubleshooting steps can get you streaming again in no time.

How to Fix Netflix Connection

If you've encountered the Netflix error code NW-2-4 or any of the other error codes mentioned below, a few quick troubleshooting steps could help you get back to streaming in no time.

1. Make sure you're using a network that allows streaming. Not all networks allow streaming. For example, if you're using a public internet connection, there may be restrictions don't hat network that prevents streaming so everyone can use the network without all the bandwidth being used by a few people streaming audio and video.
   

2. Check your internet connection. The most logical culprit of the Netflix error NW-2-4 or the other errors related to network connectivity issues is internet connection problems. If your internet is down or spotty, you won't be able to stream any of your content on Netflix, so it's good to know the details of your network signal strength.
   

3. Restart Netflix. Netflix keeps a cache of data designed to help shows and movies (and even navigation pages) load faster, but if there are errors in that cached data, they can prevent Netflix from connecting properly.

4. Sign out of Netflix on your TV and then sign back in to see if that might solve your problem. We also have tips for signing out of Netflix on Roku and signing out of Netflix on an Xbox.
   

   If your device isn't one of those, you can always try using your device's remote to sign out. Press the following buttons on your device's remote:

   • Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up.

   Signing out with your remote should bring up a deactivation screen where you can selectSign outfrom the available options. Once Netflix is completely signed out, then try signing back in with your username and password.

5. Restart your streaming device. Regardless of how you're trying to stream Netflix-using a smart tv, a streaming device like Roku or Apple TV, or using a gaming console or other internet-connected device-the fastest way to fix a problem is often by restarting the device.
   

   This solution is especially effective if you lost internet and then it came back on, as that interrupted connection can sometimes cause errors.

6. Restart your modem and router. The modem and router are the heart of your home network. If you're certain that you have properly working internet service, then restarting your modem and router can help clear out any residual issues that might be interfering with your Netflix connection.
   

7. Connect your streaming device directly to your modem. If you're using a streaming device with a Wi-Fi internet connection, there could be problems with the data traveling along the Wi-Fi network.

   For example, if your modem and router are in a different room from the smart TV where you're streaming Netflix, the walls in your home could cause interference that prevents Netflix from working correctly.

   The solution to this is to connect your streaming device directly to your modem using an Ethernet cable. It may not be the most convenient solution, but it can be the most reliable way to ensure you have a good internet connection.
   

8. Reset your DNS Settings. If you set your DNS to custom settings, you'll need to access your modem or gaming console settings and restore them to factory defaults. If your DNS server settings are incorrect, you won't be able to connect to the internet to stream your entertainment.

   If you're using a smart TV or another streaming device, you may need to change the DNS servers on your router.

   For PlayStation, go to Settings > Network Settings > Internet Connection Settings. On Xbox, go to Settings > System Settings > Network Settings > Network > Configure Network.

   
   

9. Restore default connection settings. If you have created custom settings on your modem or router, those settings could prevent Netflix from connecting properly.
   

   One thing you can do is access your modem settings or connect to your router as an administrator and reset the settings back to default to see if that might get Netflix going again.
