Had Netflix for many a year. Have a couple of blackspots around the house so have had a couple of Wi-Fi extenders to help rid the issue. One in my daughters bedroom, the corner her TV is in just don’t receive Wi-Fi without the extender. This is probably the furthest point from main router in the house.
My second daughters is often slow and drops out from the main box. As far as I am aware this goes between the main box and extender depending on best signal at the time. Have enquired why with Virgin my old supplier who blame atmospherics conditions. This is very intermittent. Weird thing is further points in her room pick up no issues
I also have an issue in one of my rooms downstairs.Had this with virgin and used there extenders. Moved to YouFibre and have bought my own. Been working well up until today.
Now my daughter is unable to use her Netflix account in her room as this is picking WI-FI from the extender, and this is not my main network. I have followed instructions on the set, and it advises me to change my main network to the Wi-Fi extender. However if do this then my main household Tv won’t be able to access.
I have been on to Netflix who are saying I can only have one IP address per house and my extenders have different addresses.
Is it possible to set the IP address on my extenders all to be same. Netflix advise I remove my sets from wall every 31 days, link to main Wi-Fi and then this will allow me to access more than 1 IP address for another 31 days, or subscribe to two accounts.
Any help advice appreciated
