First aid: Netflix aborts - what to do?
- If playback stops on Netflix, it is not uncommon that there is a problem in the router. Unplug the router for a few seconds and then turn it on again.
- In the meantime, you can also restart the device used for streaming. To do this, switch your computer, Fire TV, Apple TV or other streaming devices completely off and on again.
Playback stops: How to get Netflix up and running again
- In the rarest of cases, the problem lies directly with Netflix. If Netflix is down, you can do little yourself. Usually there is only one thing left to do: wait.
- If Netflix can start the playback, but keeps aborting, it is mostly due to a slow internet connection. If there are other users on your network, there is little bandwidth left for smooth streaming with Netflix.
- If you watch Netflix on your computer, the problem can also be in the browser. Try using Netflix from another browser. If the problem does not occur here, you should delete cookies and cache in the browser.
