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.

How come I can get Netflix on 1 tv and not the 2nd tv I worked fine until yesterday it stopped on the 2nd tv but other sites work on it

Start by troubleshooting whether your second tv has an appropriate internet connection. I have found that with multiple devices connecting to the same NETFLIX account, often has intermittent connectivity problems attributed to the device connection to the internet.

2.Now, select "Wii Settings" to access the "Wii System Settings" menu.
3.Using the arrow on the right side of the screen, scroll to page two and select "Internet."

Download Netlix
1.Select the Wii Shop Channel on the Wii Menu.
2.A screen will appear asking you if you want to link a Club Nintendo account to your Wii Shop account. 3.If you have a Club Nintendo Membership, enter your User Name and Password, then select "Link" on the right. 4.If you do not have a Club Nintendo Membership, leave the fields blank and select "Do not link" on the left.

5.Select "Wii Channels" from the Wii Shop Channel main menu, then select "Netflix Instant Streaming for Wii." Select "Free 0 Wii Points" to begin the download.
6.Once Netflix Instant Streaming for Wii has finished downloading, it will be added to your Wii menu.
After Netflix Instant Streaming for Wii has been added, the next thing you'll need to do is connect your Wii console with your Netflix account.

Connect your Wii console to your Netflix account

  1. On your Wii
    If you're not already on this screen on your television, select Netflix Instant Streaming for Wii from the Wii menu. (Don't have this option?) On this screen you will be presented with a code; remain on this screen during the activation process.
  2. On your home computer
    Using an online device other than your Wii console - such as a PC, Mac, or Web-enabled phone - go to http://www.netflix.com/wii. (You will need to log into your Netflix account if you're not already logged in.)
  3. Still on your home computer
    Enter the code displayed on your television into the box on the bottom Netflix Web page, then click "Activate Now." (The code is case sensitive.)
  4. Back to your Wii
    Netflix will now attempt to activate the connection to your Wii console. This may take several minutes. When the process is complete, the Wii will automatically display your queue. (The screen on your computer will not change. Wait for the screen displayed by the Wii on your TV to indicate the activation has finished before going to another Web page.)
  5. And finally, watch TV episodes and movies streaming from Netflix on your Wii console by selecting the Netflix Instant Streaming for Wii on the Wii main menu.

I can't get the movies to play. I have tried turning the concole off then back on, software updates, internet connections, and tv connection. netflix said to contact you

In order to use Netflix on a game console the first thing you must ensure is that your device is compatible. The three main compatible consoles are the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Wii.

If you have one of these systems, follow the instructions for the system below:

PS3:
1) Make sure your console is connected to the internet.

2) Log on to Playstation Network and download the Netflix app.

3) Install the app, then run it.
(NOTE: Playstation Network is currently down for maintenance. More than likely Netflix will not work until it is back up)

Wii:
1) Make sure you have a wireless network set up in your home.

2) Follow the Wii's onscreen instructions to connect to your network.

3) Go to to the "Wii Shop" channel on your Wii and download and install the Netflix app.

4) Run the app and follow the instructions.

Xbox:
1)Make sure your Xbox is connected to the internet

2) Log into Xbox Live with a Gold account.

3) Download and install the Netflix App from the "downloads" section.

4) Run the Netflix app and follow the instructions.

Netflix wont play on my wii right now, but does work on my pc, so it's not a nerwork problem. any suggestions?

There are a few things that could be preventing this from working. First, if I recall correctly Wii still requires the special Netflix disk to play any movies, so make sure you have that and it's in the console. If you don't have it, log onto Netflix from your computer and you can easily have it sent to you. It's free, so no worries there.

Now if you have the disk, and you still can't get Netflix to work, make sure that your Wii is registered on Netflix. Again, this can be done from the Netflix website. To check what you have registered to your account just;

Log on to Netflix.
Click "Your account and Help" at the top right of your browser.
Scroll down to "WATCHING INSTANTLY ON YOUR TV OR COMPUTER"
Click on "Manage Netflix ready devices and computer"

Now you'll see a list of devices that are registered to your Netflix account. Make sure your Wii is on there, and if not, then you'll have to re-register your Wii in order for it to work.

If none of this works, then double check your internet connection and be sure your Wii is properly connecting to the internet.

Please leave a comment or rating letting me know if this was helpful or not, feedback is always welcome. Good luck with your Wii, and Netflix.
