FIOS Quantum- Netflix Streaming Issues

Setup: Actiontec Rev I Router: 50 foot Cat5 cable to Roku XDS device. Speed test always indicates 50MBS download speed.
Netflix streaming has always worked but quality level varies and rebuffering and downgrading usually occurs. I'm often able to start out with 4 dots (highest streaming rate and quality) but often rebuffer and downgrade to 3 or 2 dots. With Roku set to debug, the stream speed is dropping when this occurs.
Amazon seems fine or, at least, much better.
I assigned the Static DNS address recommended by Roku. No help.
Any ideas?

If you're have issues this evening, it's probably due to reasons like below. I'm impressed with how high the latency is at the last ALTER.NET hop given that it's within Verizon's network.

  • Apple TV Netflix streaming issues

    July 9, 2014
    This is a comment for those having problems with Netflix
    I have AppleTV and Netflix.
    Issue 1: After recent Apple automatic update I received error message for two days. Could not access programming.
    I called Netflix support. First person I talked to told me to contact my WiFi service provider. Knowing how my service provider (Cox) operates, I didn't bother.
    Next day I called back to Netflix, this time I got the right person. Gave me couple instructions, five minutes later, everything working. I did have to re-register my PW but the support person made it easy.
    Issue 2: I don't need captions but wife does. Always had problem with captions out of sync or fade away -- useless. Recently I connected cable from router to ethernet connection on AppleTV. Works perfect. No problem. I have Cox tier 2 WiFi which is 5Mbps. Works fine. No need to pay higher cost for higher tiers.

    There is good news coming!
    Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
    This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.  Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed.  Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
    Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.
    And if you don't like the movie, you can sell it for close to your purchase price!

  • Netflix streaming issues

    Hello everybody, I have changed the DSN on my apple TV to 8.8.8.8 and I am still having issues streaming Netflix shows. Here's what happens:
    1) I chose the episode of Prison break that I want to watch
    2) It takes 5-10 minutes of watching the circle of life or(death?) turn and turn and yes...turn before the episode begins.
    3) Finally I'm about 4-8 seconds into the episode and getting super comfortable when all of the sudden, the episode just quits and puts me back into the netflix/prison break lobby.
    4) After this happens, I restart the episode from the beginning and skip past the first 20 seconds of the episode. Fortunately this works 1/3 of the time!!!
    I must say that I LOVE apple products and I will continue to be an apple lover, however, I am annoyed with the netflix aspect of the apple TV. I also dislike the photo streaming because that takes a bit too long, but I'm not concerned with that right now. Please let me know if you have found a solution to this.
    Peace out.

    I have found a solution to the apple tv / netflix problem. You will need to uplug the power cable and the hdmi from the back of the atv2 unit. Then locate a cinder block or large block of wood, saftey glasses and a 2-3 pound sledge hammer.......
    I wish someone would find a solution to this problem of netflix pausing every two minutes. I want to throw the atv2 unit like a discus down our street sometimes. We are an all apple family and love, rant and rave about our mac book , imacs ,ipads and iphones. I think apple needs to try a little harder to help on this one!!!!

  • Netflix Streaming Issue on ISA550

    A newbie here, sorry,
    Netflix doesnt stream on android or apple tablets, blu-ray players or Apple TV, but does stream on computers.  is there a port to open or something?     
    Netflix  support is a joke.  they say it doesnt stream over any ports, it streams over the internet..... and my speed needs to be at least API1.5... really??  
    Thanks in advance

    I'm not in front of an ISA at this point, but as soon as I am I'll respond on the logging question.
    In the interim, I do have some questions. One thing to keep in mind is that with the vast differences in OS and apps, it's still very possible that laptops work and tablets don't and the issue is still in the network even though they're going over the same mediums.
    Thanks for the detail on the current network. I have concerns that you may have double or possibly triple NAT/PAT'ing going on here. When you mentioned WAPs being plugged into your switch, are those WAPs handing out IPs or are they more like LWAPs just handing out IPs from the ISA?
    What might be helpful here is if you can mask all the IPs for all the devices but still provide what is currently configured using public and private IPs. An example might be replacing 192.168.x.x with 10.1.x.x for private IPs and I like to use 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.1 for Public IPs. Using this kind of methodology, would you mind providing IP Address and subnet masks for each interface of each device (router, firewall, switch, WAP(s), PC, laptop, tablet, etc.)?

  • Netflix Streaming Issue Overseas

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion running. I recently converted to the world of Mac and can barely find my way around the computer to try and fix my current issue, which is:
    When I try to play a video on Netflix it reaches 98% and then stops, saying it gas an error code N8156-6023. I am stationed overseas in Italy, and so I use the HMA! Pro VPN to get US websites. It works fine on my iPhone (using the VPN), so I think it's just a Mac issue. I've tried lots of suggestions, but none of them work and/or I simpy don't understand them... Can anyone help with a new-user-friendly set of instructions on this issue?

    Try deleting this file, then restart Safari. I ran into a similar issue here in the US.
    /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/PlayReady/mspr.hds
    You didn't give many details about your system, but I am assuming that you have all of the software updates installed and that you are running a reasonably current version of Microsoft Silverlight that is required for Netflix. I believe the current version is 5.1...)  You can check your version here.

  • Linksys WRT160Nv3 to Sony BDP-BX57 Netflix streaming issues

    Everything is fine when the blu ray is wired to the router
    When I set up on the wireless network, it loses connection or times out in the middle of the movie
    says there is a connection error, then sometimes it won't let me connect.
    is there a way to tweak the settings in the router.. i saw somewhere about changing the mtu to 1365?
    please help
    already downloaded the version3 12/2010 firmware update for the router

    Don't meddle with the MTU anymore since it works fine on wired. On the wireless tab of the setup page there should be a setting for the channel. Try switching to the other ones and see if it holds your connection. If not let us know so we can suggest more.

  • Apple TV started having streaming issues with Netflix

    Several days ago my Apple TV is no longer providing consistent streaming throught Netflix. Before that, I had great streaming through all content for many months.
    Issues, configuration and some actions already taken:
    Video quality starts suffering, then some pauses/buffering begins.
    I have tried the same Netflix account, content and network to trace the issue and found out through my Macbook Air and iPad and the streaming is excellent.
    My Apple TV is connected to my ISP through an Ethernet cable at 200 Mbps (tested @ Speedtest.net)
    I already restarted several times, and restored once my Apple TV.
    Software is updated since it became available.
    Yesterday, I found a post which recommended to manually setup my DNS to 008.008.008.008 which I did and worked great at that time, but todays problems are back with that fixed DNS and with Auto setup.
    I hove someone here can help me with some further advice, or perhaps Apple very soon releases a fix. Seems that the latest update improved Airplay consistency to deliver both video and audio and not only video, but might have broken Netflix streaming.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I'm having the exact same issue since the latest update. I thought it was my internet connection but it worked perfectly fine in my ipad and macbook air.
    I also have 2 Apple TV's and the problem is in both of them. I really hope apple fixes this issue ASAP.
    In the meantime, if you wanna watch your netflix content on your apple tv with good streaming and you have an iPad/iPhone with netflix on it. I recommend Airplay mirroring the iOS device and then opening netflix, it will airplay the video content and the iphone/ipad screen will function as a remote control with all the settings and stuff...its kinda cool...the only bad thing is that you can't turn off the iPad/iPhone screen or it will pause the movie.
    i hope this works for you while apple fixes this issue.

  • Netflix streaming slow

    I have an macbook air circa 2009 and whenever I attempt to stream netflix, especially in full screen the streaming video slows down, hangs up or just stops.  Is there anything I can do with the settings to speed things up.
    Thanks,

    Most likely you can't fix your issue.  FIOS and Netflix and been in a small war since last Summer.   The problem is before your house.

  • Slow Netflix Streaming During Primetime

    I have the Fios 15/5 internet plan and use it occassionally to stream Netflix (through a DVD player and through a SmartTV).  However, I find that during primetime, and especially on Fri-Sat nights Netflix becomes unwatchable because it needs to re-buffer every 30 seconds.
    Any device that streams Netflix is wired to the router via ethernet, so the wireless network is not in play.  During non-peak times, Netflix shows we get the full 15mb speed and everything looks great.
    We only stream on one device at a time, so there aren't other devices hogging bandwidth.
    I've taken a look around this forum, and it looks like those who have upgraded to higher speeds run into the same problem.
    Any assistance on solving the problem would be appreciated.

  • I recently upgraded to Fios Quantum and have a new ActionTech router. As a result my PC is no longer communicating with my APPLE TV.It must have a firewall or ports beegin blocked preventing the homesharing and communication even though the APPLE TV is on

    I recently upgraded to Verizon Fios Quantum high speed internet and was given an ActionTec router. I sucessfully installed all and connected wth my Apple TV. Although it worked initially it no longer does.  Something appears to be blocking  the Homesharing between my PC and the AppleTV even though the Apple TV is successfully connected to my home network. I spoke with an Apple Support Tech who was unable to help me becuase I have a PC! He admitted this is a common problem with FIOS and PCS. There must be a port that needs to be opened in the router. I do not beleive it is anything to do with my antivirus software or Windows Defender as i uninstalled all and still not communication. Must be a port within the routter that is blocking tis communication. On my Itunes you can see that it does not see the Apple TV. Please advise.

    I'd have to agree. I set my vms and two clients on Saturday in one hour. I think the picture is better I did not see an issue with the brightness. For the heck of it I recorded five channels at once to test it. I've also noticed when playing a recorded show on the client everything responds a lot quicker. So I am impressed and curious to see what new features come later.
    Kudos to verizon.

  • FiOS Quantum Speed Problem

    Several months ago we upgraded to FiOS Quantum. Our Internet speed has not improved at all, in fact recently the quality has become worse. This is very frustrating because we have been paying the extra $10 a month. Normally, there is one computer, and three phones connected to the wireless network. Recently, the phones haven't been connecting to the network, the phone says avoided poor connection. So last cycle, we used too much data because we weren't aware our phones weren't connecting to WiFi. Wireless downloads max out at 2MB/s, and that's on a good day. Usually wireless downloads hover around 500-800 KB/s. When I connect my computer directly to the router with an ethernet cable, the max download speed I have seen is 7MB/s. This is very annoying because we are currently paying for 50/25MB/s. I saw that there is a better router with a red band and two antennas, and I'm not sure if that is supposed to come with FiOS Quantum or not, but if so we do not have that one. We have a router with a silver band and one antenna. Hopefully I can resolve this issue soon, but if not we are definitely going to cancel the plan.
    Solved!

    I don't want to have to plug in an ethernet cable to have good internet. Even plugged in its not as fast as advertised and I've been paying for better internet speeds for months. What I'm asking for is if I was supposed to get the router with the red band and double antenna but didn't, and if that will help my situation.
    Okay. So just to ensure, you're seeing 7MB/s correct? If so, that is roughly 55Mbps on the download. ISPs like Verizon sell speed tiers in terms of Megabits. When you see a download rate, most are expressed in Megabytes. There are 8 bits to a byte, so with that said, while wired you are getting what you pay for. 55MB/s is nearly a half of a Gigabit, which would mean you would have to pay for Verizon's 500Mbps tier to hit those kinds of speeds.
    For router supplied, the ActionTec Rev. I is supplied to those who pay for 150Mbps or more, since the router includes a Gigabit Ethernet switch. It does come with wireless N support, but only at 2.4Ghz and 130Mbps throughput. You can expect half of that 130Mbps under the best conditions. You can buy one, or ask Verizon to give you one with a monthly rental fee. My advice is to just get an access point or another router and simply hang it off the ActionTec to get better wireless as IMO, the Rev. I ActionTec has poor wireless. Otherwise, my recommendation is to wire up.

    The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

  • FIOS Quantum Setup

    After reading all of the negative comments posted on the forum, I decided to relay my experience with the FIOS Quantum TV upgrade.
    The entire process works "when you follow the directions."
    I actually save money by changing my previous equipment, which consisted of 2 DVR's, replaced by one Media Server and 3 clients in the new setup.
    Equipment arrived in one box, efficiently packaged, including return label for old equipment.
    The new system required me to change the router which was the only semi-problem I encountered. The router was not part of the initial shipment and after calling customer service, I recieved it via one-day shipping.
    Excellent guides came with the equipment, walking the customer through each and every step of the process.
    It works great, and good job developing the experience for self-help customers looking to save money on installation.

    congratulations on your self installation. we had no choice on having self installation here in Maryland. was told we had to have tech installation due to this was NEW to our areas so no self installation was available.

  • I get choppy video on netflix streaming online

    how can i fix choppy video on netflix streaming online

    What version Mini do you have?  How much RAM?
    What is your internet connection and speed?
    Not knowing that, first I would say insure that you have
    the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight installed.  Next,
    do you have any other apps running at the same time?
    Which browser are you using?  Also, is this all the time
    or occasionallly?
    I have a 2010 Mini (Mountain Lion installed) that I use as an
    HTPC.  Most of the time, I have no real issues with the video
    from Netflix.  There are occasions when video is pretty choopy. 
    However, I can view the same program at a later date and it plays
    fine.  Sometimes the problem can be at the Netflix end or with the
    connection.
