We usually look for "what changed?" For example, Netflix and Amazon movies worked with Fios before installing an Orbi, but do not work after installing the Orbi? Or, they worked before a firmware upgrade but not after? What is being used to view the movies? (TV? Roku? Laptop?, etc.)
How is the Orbi configured? (router? Access Point?)
A number of community members have experience with FIOS, and might be helpful if they know more about the situation.

True, but they also need to know about how the FIOS delivers Internet to the user. Probably through some sort of as yet unnamed box from an equally anonymous Internet service provider.

Thank you for responding. I can watch netflix and Amazon on all my computers and ipad. I am trying to watch on 2 roku tvs and one older tv through a 5 or 6 year old Samsung home theatre. The Samsung is what allows me to watch netflix and amazon. Oddly on the Roku tvs I can watch ROKU with no issues. Netflix comes up but with no pictures just empty boxes. when I click on a box it loads to 24% and stops. Amazon comes up like normal but when I try to watch it just goes black and spins. Sometimes on Amazon I get not enough Bandwitch.

Smells like a problem with the Samsung.
These things are notoriously troublesome with networking, especially older stuff.
Is that a wifi connection with the Samsung?
