If movies continue to "buffer"--just load and load without continuous play, then it could be a few different issues. Your internet connection is too slow (too weak). You need additional bandwith (contact your Internet Service Provider).
You can also try to reset everything. Uninstall and re-install your router, reset the network, etc, to see if that fixes the issue. Also try deactivating and re-activating Netflix through your TV/Blu-ray player.
If you continue to experience issues, it may be an internal glitch on Netflix. Contact Netflix Customer Support at 1-866-579-7172.
I hope this helps!

I new here and need some advice on streaming netflix wireless to Sammy BD6500 blu ray or Sammy UN60D7000VF tv.
I do fine till about 45 minutes into movie. No stutters etc. Then router shuts off and a reset needed.
My set up
Linksys WRT 300N with 2 yagi 9db antennae. (router is across the street in my office).
My download speed (measured 300 feet away in my residence is down 26.6 mbps and up is 2.6 mbps. Great signal and noise readings.
The problem only occurs when streaming through the TV or Blu Ray at HD. Anything less is fine. Streaming same movie to laptop is fine (however laptop needs better video hardware as stutters occur).
Fix for router or new router suggesions would be appreciated.
If new, the router needs to have external antennae so I can hook up to outdoor yagis.
