Orbi mesh network and Netflix UK on Samsung tv
Hi all,
I'm having issues with netflix in the UK. My Samsung TV is connected via WiFi to my main router about 2m of open air between them.
Netflix is majorly struggling to play and when going on the fast.com webpage it struggles to get to 32mb whereas on speed test it gets up to my usual 72mb. It only appears to be netflix. All other streaming services (Disney, Amazon etc) all work perfectly fine with no issues.
Netflix network test gets me an nw-2-5 error on server 3 from netflix which is a WiFi issue but whatever I do, I can't fix it.
Has anyone had a similar issue or can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
