What Is The minimum internet speed Netfix will streamline and operate decently? Will it work with any internet provider? how to get signal to my Samsung blue ray from my wifi router?

This is from Netflix Website.

Several ISP providers are throttling Netflix because they consume a huge amount of bandwidth that the ISP does not get additional revenue for. Check with your neighbors and see what they are using.
Internet Connection Speed Recommendations Below are the Internet download speed recommendations per stream for playing movies and TV shows through Netflix.
  • 0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed
  • 1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed
  • 3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality
  • 5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality
  • 25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
HD Video Quality
Movies and TV shows we have available in high definition will play in 720p or better with a fast enough internet connection. To watch Netflix in HD, ensure you have an HD plan, then set your video quality setting to High in the Playback Settings for your account.
Netflix Bandwidth Usage
Higher quality video uses more bandwidth than lower-quality video. If your service provider applies a bandwidth or data cap to your Internet service, you canManage Bandwidth Usage by changing the video quality settings to Low or Medium to consume less data.

Internet in my computer is very slow

Slow Internet can be caused by many thing, I need more info to make a informed suggestion, But you can start be running a FULL virus scan with a good anti virus, also you want to run a FULL scan with a malware program, I would suggest using MALWAREBYTES found here:http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/. If you do not have a UP TO DATE Anti-Virus, one can be found on the filehippo site for free, REMEMBER to uninstall the anti virus on your machine, if you want to try another anti virus, always use the Makers REMOVAL TOOL if they supply one, I use AVAST, but that is your choice. If you have a Anti Virus make sure it's updated and working properly. You statement,"Internet in my computer is very slow" does not give me much to work with. Need computer Manufactuer, Model, type OS, etc. Also are you using TOOLBARS on you IE or what ever Broswer you are using. TOOLBARS, MESSENGERS, CHAT, any thing that is "hogging" your resourses when using your broswer SHOULD BE DISABLED, the rule is the more "Stuff" you have running, on you computer at start, or your broswer will slow it down. It's like YOU, on a long walk, ever half mile you pick up a 10 pound weight, after a day treck you have to slow down a bit. To make a short story long, GET RID OF THE EXCESS BAGGAGE. If you need assistance respond to this solution.

Your computer may seem a bit slow but you are actually slowing it down by trying to use it while scanning.

My internet is very slow. It takes a long time to browse

If your connection speed is good but still you are getting very less speed, it must be due to several reasons like virus attack, inappropriate browser.

I suggest you to scan your pc for viruses first by using the online scanner given below the website.(only works in Internet explorer)

http://www.bitdefender.com/scanner/online/free.html

Once you scan your pc, if there are any viruses it will be deleted,
I suggest you to use different browser like Mozilla Firefox.
Internet explorer is normally slow.

If you still persist the same problem then, I suggest you to contact your Internet service provider( ISP ) there might be some problem with their end, if so they will fix it..

I am sure this will surely help you to fix your problem

Rate my solution.

Did complete scan with anti viruses internet security. It is freezing and very slow to bring up anything including reading mail. It says no viruses worms etc. What is it. Nothing new on computer.

You need to find out what process is hogging up your resources and slowing down your computer. Open task manager and look for a process that is using up a lot of CPU, memory or both. Once you have found the process first google the name to see what program it belongs to and if it is legitimate or a virus2_bing.gif.

If the process is tied to an application you can end the process and see if your computer2_bing.gif speeds up. If this is the case you will need to do a little research to see why that application is so resource intensive.

If it is a virus you will need either use another anti-virus program to remove it or find instructions on how to do it manually.

Reception from rounter to playing netflix is slow

Netflix is actually a very demanding application. Depending on the quality of the title, the application may need up to 5 megabits in bursts with 3.2 megabits sustained to get the best quality picture, or at least those are the sustained speeds I see when I run Netflix from my PS/3 using my Wi-Fi connected to DSL as a source. (Add 128K for audio).
When Netflix starts playing a movie, it tests the server to playing system speed and selects a download speed based on the available bandwidth. It then uses the bandwidth to play the movie.

If the connection seems unable to sustain that during the playback, Netflix will tell its server to send a slower version of the movie. The first stepback I've seen seems to be about one megabit. I've occasionally stepped down to one megabit, and I usually stop the movie and resume play to get the better video (since I can see the difference) so I've never had Netflix further step down.

But the router to computer speed should not be a problem. The slowest "max" speed is the 10 megabit ethernet, with G being up to 54 megabits and N being much much faster than that. 5 Megabits?
Except that when you mix modes (use N, B, and G on the same connection), the speed goes down, and when you do not have a good signal, you can get a mode that goes down to 2 megabits.
Do you have a good signal? Like 75% or better (3 of 4 bars)?
Try reorienting the router until you do - or reorient the receiving device, or see if you can us a higher gain antenna.
Make sure your router is the only device on the channel. Lots of people use channel 1 - and this means that routers take turns. Most routers can "survey" and will tell you what SSIDs are associated with which channels. Try to switch to a channel that is both unused and separated from other channels by a couple numbers. You will have to use the 2.4 gig band unless all of your devices are N and you have no B/G devices.
What is your rated speed, that is, what speed channel does your ISP sell you? Is it a 10 megabit, 5 megabit, 2 megabit, 1 megabit? The slowest speed that the local DSL provider will sell you is 512k down, 128k up - and that won't work for Netflix highest quality (they sell that to people who are up to 25 kilofeet from their central office or multiplexor pedistal) but then they don't get great quality.
Try a speed test site. If you can't find sites that deliver you 300k byte download speeds, you will probably fail to get good quality streams from Netflix. And if your rated speed is close to your measured and used speed, then Netflix may get pushed aside by marginal traffic that is considered higher priority, like VOIP, or another download, or websurfing that happens at the same time as the Netflix playback.
Good luck, hope this helps..
Again, you need a strong signal on a channel that is not being shared for the best transfer speeds.

Internet extremely slow on one network, fine on the other

Not knowing if this relates directly as i am not from Australia but have you checked with the ISP.

The phone line providing the internet access may be damaged in some way or require calibration to reduce line noise (which can cause slow speeds).

Alternatively, have you got a usage limit that you may have reached. ISPs have the ability to throttle back your connection speed.

Thanks

After use internet my pc,s speed very slow.

Your computer may be infected with a virus. Are you running any anti virus software?

Do a simple scan of your machine using anti virus software - If you have none installed, download and install this.

I have included AVG as its free.
http://www.avg.com/

Log off from the internet and run the scans - if you haven't run one before this may take several hours.

The clean up should remove any old entries and also detect any virus which may be slowing down your machine.
