I also found that my sony android smart tv is facing the same problem with the same apps not working.

I tested these apps on an Iphone-they worked fine. They also worked fine on oneplus7.

I have rummaged forums and platforms trying to solve this problem but no help so far. My wifi setup is as follows:

GPON Router(given by my ISP)----TP Link Router(Setup as an accesspoint)--- My android device

Also on my phone by using a vpn I gain access to these apps.

Pl help guys

I notice you have a TP-link router. I recently had to throw mine away. Netflix and Disney Plus was refusing to connect through it. I was using it as my fibre modem and router. I got my ISPs router out and everything immediately connected. I tried the TP-link again and they failed. I am just wondering if you are suffering from the same issues I did.

Thanks Kirstein for pitching in.

I also felt that the TP link router was to blame. So I connected to the wifi of my ISP modem/router and tried to access the apps. Got no luck.

Currently TP Link is configured in access point mode so I dont think it would restricting anything. Its main use is to extend the wifi coverage in the house since the ISP router wifi is single band and has poor strength

This is getting out of my scope, but see if this helps: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/open...oid-59014.html

Also, check the support site for the router manufacturer and see if there are any firmware updates.

Maybe @Rukbat might know something

1. Encryption may be causing the problem. Try switching (on both routers) from TKIP to AES or from AES to TKIP. (Don't use TKIP+AES, or you'll have both of them to contend with at once.)

2. See the last section of https://10-0-0-0-1.org/how-to-bridge-routers/ starting at "How To Bridge Two Wireless Routers?"


After a little more research, try going into the GPON router and cutting the MTU size back by about 100 bytes. If it's not listed numerically (something like "default"), set it to 1400. See if that helps.
