These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Escalate with exact context
What they doNetflix Support should confirm the exact message and device branch; involve the ISP only for a reproduced network fault and the device maker only for an eligibility or platform issue.

Do not factory-reset a router or device, change DNS, proxy, VPN, account or plan, delete app data, reinstall software, alter extensions or update an operating system unless the exact Netflix article and device branch require it. Secure login and network details first.
