Fixes For Netflix Error Code n8202
Fix 1: Check For Network
In case you are using a public network such as Wifi of a cafe, hotel, or school then chances are Netflix is blocked on that network by the administrator and that’s why you are having this error. To confirm that you can try counting over a mobile hotspot connection.
In case you are using a private home network then perform an internet speed test for your internet. To use Netflix without any issues your internet should have at least 2 to 3 MBPS of speed. In case your internet is much slower then contact your ISP to report the issue.
Fix 2: Try Other Network Level Troubleshoots
- In case you are using a VPN or proxy on your device or network then this can also lead to such issues, so we will suggest you to disable such services and then check for the error.
- Next, you can try giving your system a fresh start by simply powering off your device and router and restarting them after 5 to 6 minutes. Then check if the error still occurs or not.
- If you still receive the error then try connecting over a mobile hotspot connection. This way you can confirm if the issue is coming from your default network, or if it’s coming from Netflix’s side. If connecting over the mobile hotspot connection fixes the issue then this is your default network which is causing the error and you should contact your ISP. But if you still get the error even after connecting over a mobile hotspot then you need to contact Netflix.
