How-do-you-do Max,

I recently moved my Wii console and when I tried to admission Netflix a blurb pops up telling me an update is available. I hit the update button and I was redirected to the Wii shopping channel. I exited out and returned to Netflix just I keep receiving the aforementioned message. I'one thousand not really sure where to go from there. Any suggestions?

Max Dalton (author) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on November 10, 2012:

Hullo Sharon,

Practice any of your other wireless devices accept a problem when you use them at a like range? If possible, endeavour moving the Wii closer to the wireless router. Information technology sounds like it may just be on the border of where it gets a signal.

Promise this helps.

Max.

sharon on Nov 08, 2012:

I lose connection from router to wii. Traverses quite a distance and when I shut wii down I normally have to unplug router and high speed cyberspace connections, look, plug back in and it works cracking until I plow it off again. Can this be stock-still?

colton on October 01, 2012:

k so my wii and my wireless router are right adjacent to each other pretty much just like 8 feet away which shouldn't affair because the wireless router i have sends out a betoken thru my whole firm merely when i get on netflix sometimes information technology will say unable to connect to the internet and sometimes it says connection was successful, but when it does say connection is successful and netflix plays and you try to click a moving picture , where it should say play alter episode due north all that information technology just shows 4 boxes like its loading something just it never loads and when it does finally load it the pic will stop like every 1 minute to load the motion picture and its annoying

Max Dalton (author) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on July 12, 2012:

Try disconnecting your Wi-Fi on your Wii, restarting the Wii and and then reconnecting it to Wi-Fi.

When I try to admission netflix from my Wii I get a blue screen and a message that says "no betoken found". My internet is wireless and I accept a strong indicate on my laptop.

Hullo Edith,

Did you try any of the suggestions in the article? Specifically uninstalling and and so reinstalling the Netflix application on the Wii.

All-time,

Max.

wordtoyourmother on June 21, 2012:

I was having a ton of problems with Netflix for the last month. The main screen was taking a very long time to load the picture/tv show "title pictures" and when I tried to play unlike programs I got the message "Nosotros are having problems loading this title..." 99% of the time. I would have to try ane title at least 8 times earlier beingness able to lookout man it.

After reading the suggestions above, I placed my router next to my Wii (they were originally on unlike shelves of my glass telly stand) and uninstalled and reinstalled Netflix on my panel. (I as well deleted some extra channels on my Wii that I no longer used, although I don't recall that had any impact on Netflix) I reset my Wii after the reinstall and Netflix is working better than it e'er has! The loading times are faster and I no longer become any errors. I just thought I'd add together my two cents in case it helps anyone else resolve the bug they are having. Good luck!

edith on June 11, 2012:

nextflix on wii loads just so freezes! help!

Neil on May 28, 2012:

Signed upwards for free trial on saturday and have had nothing but problems in getting it to work properly. I of the codes that popped upwardly was 20299 and they suggested to put our router on channel 1 or xi. Switched from channel six to 1 and it started to work. Hope this helps anyone else.

regergetarded on May 22, 2012:

mine has been working for a fews days now. guess they finally stock-still their updates.

Joe Haines on May 21, 2012:

Here's an Update. The last few days Netflix on the Wii has been fine. I did naught to make this happen information technology just started to work well once more. Maybe they heard united states of america finally or the eclipse and solar flares are our friends!

Jeremy on May 16, 2012:

Have had netflix on the Wii for every bit long as it has been available with no bug, then for the past ii weeks the same thing has been happening to me. It'll load to the point where I can chose Netflix or Netflix for Kids then when I click on one it won't load, or if it does it won't play the titles. I have tried everything listed on the help pages to no avail. I can do everything else on the Wii that involves the internet with no problems and so this must be a Netflix outcome. Recently started having issues on the PS3 likewise. I am definitely not happy nearly this.

regergetarded on May 16, 2012:

thanks max,

there is not a whole lot you can do with netflix on the wii. no settings to modify. basically download, activate, and scout, uninstall and reactivate. it just seems like something is not shutting down correctly with netflix when you turn the wii off. if only nosotros could modify netflix or wii settings then perchance we can get it to piece of work until they prepare the issue ( a bandaid set up ).

Elizabeth on May 15, 2012:

This has been going on for more than a week. Had 3 conversations with Netflix. Did everything they suggested - no assist. Talked with the cable company several times - not an net event. Even put my Wii "outside" the firewall to preclude any interference - still not working properly for Netflix. (But I can google search via the Wii, and then seems like a Netflix issue.)

We tin can stream Netflix on our other device, which is upstairs, away from the router. The Wii is about 8 feet from the router, nothing in between, and even so having issues. And I've had this service for at to the lowest degree 2 years. This is the very first fourth dimension I've had a trouble.

Not a happy camper.

Joe Haines on May fifteen, 2012:

I did effort the erase the app and the saved info on my Wii. After re-downloading the app and putting my account info in, it worked like a charm, twice. It and then crashed about 5 minutes into a browsing session. It must have something to practise with this latest update because I had no issues before this. This is not my only way to watch netflix, merely the one in my sleeping accommodation. I have a backup computer that I use in there and just motility stuff around and utilise information technology. As about know, it is really frustrating to watch a bully service slowly fall apart.

Max Dalton (author) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on May 15, 2012:

Hi All (Joe, Ted, H, Reg and others):

I've been experiencing this problem every bit well and have washed some tinkering looking for a ready -- to no avail. It's normal for Netflix to occasionally flake out on the Wii for small periods of time, but this seems to be a lingering issue. Honestly, we've just been watching the Netflix content on either the Roku or Xbox 360 at our firm, and oasis't had any issues with either. Information technology sounds like this is something out of our control and that we'll just take to await for these companies to work this out, which could take some time.

Deplorable I couldn't aid. Rest assured, I'm in the aforementioned gunkhole.

Best,

Max.

Max Dalton (writer) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on May 15, 2012:

Hello Lloyd,

No problem, lol. Hope yous got your issue resolved. I get a lot of repeat questions, so no worries.

Best,

Max.

regergetarded on May fifteen, 2012:

i take no problems with the 3ds handhelds. ive talked to other people who have xbox and accept no issues. its but the wii system. also im not sure about nintendo but netflix has been making changes and updating their content. i haven't actually noticed a wii arrangement update in a while i would have to estimate it is netflix that has acquired an effect.

H Gray on May xiv, 2012:

I am having the exact same problem, netflix works corking until you shut the wii off, then when you lot turn it back on you have to unistall and reinstall the app to become it to work. Netflix support told me information technology was a new update from Nintendo that was causing the problem, Nintendo told me it was a netflix update that acquired the trouble. It is not a wireless outcome every bit my router is beside the wii and all my other devices work fine, my download speed is viii.6 mbps. I am still on the free trial, but if I have to do this every time I turn the wii off, as much as I like Netflix, it is simply not worth the hassle. Any suggestions anyone?

Ted Snell on May xiv, 2012:

I accept the exact same issue. "we are having trouble playing this title right now, try again later" I called Netflix and was directed to Nintendo 800-255-3700 and was told no ready exists at this time.

Joe Haines on May 14, 2012:

These problems that the last few people are having are the same as mine. Everything was fine and so BOOM nothing .. I accept to delete the Channel and reinstall it to become information technology to work every fourth dimension i use information technology . something is happening to netflix or WII. I have had no recurrent problems until the last few weeks. I can find nothing on the web about this. It was all fine and i made no changes to anything and it turned to crap. Why no help from NF or wii?

Luci on May 14, 2012:

I did erase the retention on my WII and now am able to watch movies once again. Even so this is very frustrating. Is this going to exist stock-still. If non I think I will drop the Netflix service.

Regergetarded on May 14, 2012:

I take the same consequence. I found that if I become to my wii system memory and delete netflix from the retentiveness with out removing it from my wii channel I can start netflix up and reactivate it and i can play movies just fine. but after i plough off the wii system and turn it back on i accept the same effect happening.

Lloyd on May xi, 2012:

Ah, I didn't see the last answer to Brittany. Sorry for the repeat question!

Lloyd on May 11, 2012:

Howdy Max,

I'thou able to start upwards my Wii organization just fine (hooray) and besides I'm able to connect to Netflix. Information technology'southward and so when I endeavour to select a championship of any evidence and/or movie that it takes some time in just trying to connect before reads dorsum that I'yard unable to connect to Netflix and that I should visit their site for assist. I'chiliad however rather lost as y'all can see. Anything you lot can remember of as to why this happens?

Any suggestions help!

Max Dalton (writer) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on May 08, 2012:

Hi Brittany,

The service may have been downwardly at that time. It'due south always expert to let a few hours pass and then try once again. Also, try restarting your Nintendo Wii.

Best,

Max.

Brittany on May 05, 2012:

My wii volition go to to the screen and I can even click on a picture show but then, the place where y'all select "play" won't load and it says "we are having trouble playing this championship right now, endeavor over again later"

Max Dalton (author) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on April 21, 2012:

Hi friendly24,

Your Wii has to be continued to your wireless router, because all of your wireless devices are connected to your wireless router if they're able to access the Cyberspace. It sounds like your problem is with the location of your wireless router. If it'due south buried under the desk-bound and so the signal has to piece of work its style around a lot of things to get to the devices it needs to communicate with. If it's possible, try moving the router into a more open up surface area with as articulate a line of site as possible to the other devices -- specifically the Wii.

All-time,

Max.

friendly24 on Apr 18, 2012:

Cheers for the advice Max oasis't tried whatsoever of that yet but I did however go to that site you listed looks like a bad sign im agape. :(

It said ping 40ms download speed 17.76mps upload speed 4.12mps.

The affair is I believe my wii is connected to my laptop but my router is connected to my reckoner in my room its connected to all of them basically so that part has me dislocated.

The laptop we accept is old and has issues half the time freezes a lot and then I am wondering if information technology would aid to notice a way to switch my internet connexion to my figurer which is fast and barely has whatever issues instead of my laptop. I take no thought how to go most that though im agape.

Nope no figurer is ever on when Im streaming the router and modem are still going simply I think they are supposed to.I can't move the router either its underneath my computer on the bottom plugged up and my tv is a little away from the calculator and then the wii is nowhere close to it. :(

Allison on Apr 14, 2012:

Thanks that worked for me! My Netflix also wouldn't load and made my screen become blackness or freeze. All good now :)

Max Dalton (author) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on April 08, 2012:

Hey John,

Endeavour uninstalling the app and then reinstalling information technology. That'due south almost the just thing I can think of that you oasis't done.

Best,

Max.

John on April 06, 2012:

My Netflix is constantly freezing today. I've had to unplug/replug in my Wii a dozen times already and it won't load. I turn the system on, everything is fine. I load other programs, everything is fine. I load Netflix, it shows the "working" bars, maybe goes to another "loading" screen, and then the screen goes black and my system is stuck

kat on April 02, 2012:

i go along getting "unable to connect to netflix. please effort over again or visit world wide web.netflix.com/tvhelp" i can get netflix on the figurer but it has stoped working on the wii. I've tried errassing information technology and re-downloading the channel on the wii and have been on the phone with netflix several times and they don't seem to know what the problem is. practise yous know of anything else i can endeavour? its not the net connexion or the wifi

Max Dalton (author) from Greater St. Louis, Missouri on March 27, 2012:

Hello friendly24,

I know it's probably a hassle, simply if your wireless router isn't almost where your Wii is located correct now, you need to somehow move the two devices closer. The closer you tin get those two things, the better your streaming experience will be. Exercise you know what Internet speed your service is? If you have a lower-end speed, yous may just be doomed to a bad streaming feel. Also, try turning off as many devices that are connected to the Internet as possible and then try streaming your film. You lot may accept a figurer on that's downloading something and sucking up a lot of your available bandwidth, which is especially the case if yous've got kids.

Allow me know how that feedback works out and we'll get from there.

Best,

Max.

friendly24 on March 26, 2012:

Hi Max I am having constant issues with NF streaming on my wii information technology constantly keeps having to stop and it has reached the point of past annoying.I checked that speed site last nighttime on my wii and its below 1mb its o.8 something mb which stinks.

I have no idea how to ready this outcome I am not good at this kind of thing and so even the solutions in a higher place are unfortunately very confusing to me.

Information technology does this with movies and tv shows now constantly having to rebuffer then shows a few minutes then rebuffers again .Im reaching the point of giving up on streaming permanently if its gonna be this bad it didn't used to exist makes no sense to me.If y'all can help me I would greatly and truly appreciate it. Ty.
