issue - once or twice a day completely stops streaming internet. Wi-fi streaming is active, but no internet. Need to restart it manually every time.

I haven't had any issues with mine at all. Have you tried updating the firmware?

Just started having this problem too, multiple times per day. Had internet tech come out - he said it's not the cable modem or internet connection, so it must be the router or the yellow cord that connects the router to the modem. He said the cord was wrong anyway - it was for a DSL, so he replaced it. Not sure if that will fix the problem though. I'd hate to have to buy a new router.

Have not had that problem. Check for updates. Are you sure it's not your internet router? Check your connections.

There is a intelastream option available in the dash board on your router. Enable the intela-stream and it will take care of the problem.

How many devices are you running on the router? Did you configure it with the intellistream enabled? This can improve your performance. If you have to many devices running on the Wi-fi it can impact the bandwidth each device running will slow things down.

I am having the same Netflix streaming problem: video is constantly stopping and starting (buffering). It seems to work better once it has been playing for a while but the first 10-15 minutes are unwatchable. I switched back to my old crappy Insignia player (which won't play discs anymore) to see if it was a network issue. Nope, it's the Panasonic player. Returning it before my 30 days are up.

I've streamed Netflix and YouTube plenty of times with no problems. I've also sent the stream to an external monitor with no problems.

Yes, you may have to "Repair" it, which is very simple. Hook it up to the computer, and there is an option to repair it. Ours did this one time, and we've not had trouble since we repaired it. It is a quick fix, just connecting it to the computer, to the internet, and essentially resetting it.

Judith, I have run into some issues with playing the videos lately, but I believe it's my internet provider. It is possible that people walking between the router and the Wifi adapter may cause breaks in play when you are watching the video remotely. I'm going to plug an HDMI cable directly into the router today and see if there are breaks. I'm guessing it's my internet, not the device.

Watching netflix, the playback is choppy. It is as if the hardware can't keep up. It isn't our internet, we watch netflix on a variety of WiFi devices in this house and it works great on all of them. Everything is updated, I have not been able to resolve it. I'm very disappointed.

My guess there is no internet connection, turn TV off restart, then it should work again....allow TV couple of minutes to connect to the internet (doesnt matter if wifi or cable)

I not not sure what the problem is but it could have something to do with where and I using the internet. I had no problems when I was at home but I have recently connected to a hotel internet signal during my stay with them and it get the same error. When plugged the ethernet cable in it worked fined. This leaves me to believe either my wireless board is fried, firmware has been lost, or the hotel has some sort of internet filter that prevents devices like Roku and Play Stations to drain their bandwidth.

I'm seeing the same behavior. Started last week. No luck rebooting or resetting my wireless router and cable modem.

The wifi card is on the weak side. This is pretty much inherent tothe series. I've had mine for a year now, and it seems that after a few hours the signal is wobbly. I usually switch the wifi off for a few seconds then turn it back on; that seems to work a while but some days are better than others. I'm going to get one of those USB wifi dongles and see if that works.

I bought mine new right after X-mas, had the same problem (not able to stream Netflix), I did the "reset" as stated above, and logged into my secure router (Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router[WNR2000v2]), and I was able to stream Netflix after that.The night before, I had called EVERYBODY (LG, Netflix, and Netgear) customer support(s), and got nowhere. Netflix was the best though, in enlightening me that I needed to open 2 ports opened for streaming to work. I did that, but no change.The "RESET" worked though, ports 443 and 80. I hope this post casts some light on the problem to someone out there....! Good luck everyone...!

You might want to check whether it's your router, or the Dell. If you have other wireless devices around your house - another PC, smartphone, tablet, smart TV - try connecting those to your router and run something that requires constant bandwidth (streaming video for example) for 1 hour. If other devices get dropped as well, it's probably your wireless router going unstable - try power cycling it (plug out power, wait 20 seconds, plug it back in) occasionally. Wireless routers are known to get unstable every now and then. Otherwise, you can suspect your Dell. If you're buying directly from Amazon, it's very easy to return it in case the new adapter doesn't work out. You might want to check whether it's your router, or the Dell.

My son watches a lot of videos on YouTube and occasionally has issues where it locks up. Unsure if it's an issue with the Wi-Fi or the laptop. He still manages to watch them for hours at a time, so it can't be that big of an issue. :)

Yea im not sure on that. If a second one still giving you problems it could also be your computer or tv outlet. Mine work fine since the beginning and still rolling. I use it everyday since I don't have cable I just now watch everything on the internet. Sorry I cant help you on this one.

I had trouble with the D-Link and a reboot would fix it temporarily. I finally ordered a Linksys WRT54GL and had no more problems. I use Suddenlink also but my trouble was with wireless printing in house but the internet seemed to work ok but I have an older suddenlink modem.
