We have a Toshiba Blue Ray which we have used for viewing Netflix. Two days ago it stopped allowing us to view - we also tried our WII and it does not allow on this either. What's wrong

This sounds like a problem either with your internet/network connection or Netflix. i would recommend a few steps to isolate where the problem is:
Step 1. Use another device, e.g. tablet, pc or laptop on the same network as your Blueray device/WII and see if you can connect to Netflix.
** If you cannot connect to Netflix, go to step 2.
** If you can connect, Netflix is fine, the issue is with the connection between your router/modem and the Bluray/WII console. Go to step 2.

Step 2. Take your laptop/ tablet and connect to another network, a friends or neighbors, or a hotspot from your phone. Then try to connect to Netflix.
** If you are able to connect and watch Netflix, the issue is with your network. Go to step 3
If you are unable to connect to Netflix, you may have a problem with your account. Contact Netflix support, who are normally very good at trouble shooting the problem.

Step 3.
** On the Bluray and Wii, disconnect from the network and forget this network.
** Next power off your modem and router, wait 10 minutes and power them back up again, modem first, then the router.
** Once all the right light are steady on both the modem and router, try to connect either the Bluray or Wii to the network and see if you can get Netflix to work. If yes, you are in luck! If no, you may need help from an internet professional or the 1-800 support line of your router manufacturer.

Hope that helps.

Setting up wii for netflix

Netflix Instant is available for streaming on your Wii gaming console by early spring 2010. If you have a Netflix subscription you can watch movies and episodes easily on your TV through your Wii console. This article will detail the important things you will need to make sure that you can watch Netflix from the Wii.
Difficulty:Easy Instructions Things You'll Need

  • Netflix subscription
  • Nintendo Wii gaming console
  • Broadband internet
    • 1 Check you Netflix subscription. The minimum subscription plan to watch Netflix instantly is the unlimited 1 DVD at a time plan or otherwise the $8.99 plan. This plan allows to watch movies instantly with unlimited monthly hours.
    • 2 Check internet bandwidth on your broadband connection. According to Netflix the minimum bandwidth requirement is 1.5Mbps. Netflix recommends for watching movies instantly a 3.0Mbps connection. Check with your internet service provider to confirm that these download speeds.
    • 3 A wired connection to your Wii console. An ethernet connection to your Wii console would be preferable. Unfortunately the Wii console does not have an ethernet port but a USB port. A USB LAN Adapter can be found at most computer supply merchants or online from Wii or Amazon.com. The ethernet connection is an ethernet wire from your home LAN router connected to your USB LAN adapter. The USB LAN adapter is then connected to the USB port on the Wii console. This connection will be how Netflix provides the movie streaming feed to the Wii.
    • 4 Sign up at the Netflix website for the Streaming Disc. Netflix will send a specially programmed disc to setup the Wii for watching the movies. When the disc arrives Netflix will provide instructions on how to install onto the Wii gaming console.
