Cant access Netflix site or Spotify since change to NBN

Hi there, 

 

We've recently changed over to the NBN and since then have not been able to access the Netflix website, or use the Spotify application (says offline). When I try to access https://www.netflix.com/au/ over our wifi connection via modem it just times out comes up with the following error:

When I load up the Spotify app, I get the following error:

These are the only websites/apps that cant seem to recognise our wifi connection. A couple of trouble shooting things I've tried:

- I've connected the PC to the modem via ethernet cable and this allows me to access both the netflix site, and Spotify recognises an internet connection and hence allows me to access my music. 

- On my phone, connected to the same wifi I can access the netflix site and spotify app works. 

- I've tried changing the channel on the wifi but this also hasnt had an impact. 

- I've cleared browsing history and cache on my PC that I'm attempting to access Netflix/Spotify but again, no help

This leads me to believe its something to do with my wifi connection and PC but I cannot work out what. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? 

 

Thanks,

Tom

Hi tmurph

 

Welcome to the Community! 

 

I did run some remote tests and the results were inconclusive. Based on the troubleshooting steps you've done, we might need to check the settings on the modem (specifically Wi-Fi) as the internet is working fine when connected via LAN cable. 

 

I recommend having a read of this TPG Community article which can help you with this query:

If the issue still occurs, kindly send us with your best contact number as well as your most convenient time to receive a call via private message so I can arrange a contact to be made form our Technical Team.

Hi @tmurph

 

I'm assuming that you already tried the Check for DNS Problems? section in the link, and still, it didn't resolve the issue.

 

Please try the following:

  • Log out of the Spotify app
  • Go to Preferences > Proxy Settings
  • Set it to No Proxy

 

If that doesn't work, maybe your Windows PC firewall or your anti-virus program is blocking those apps.

 

What anti-virus program are you using on your PC?
