Good morning jlantz,
Please check your PMs, as I've sent you the contact information for your dealer doing the Gen 5 upgrade for you.
GabeU and BirdDog,
I'm not sure if I should post this here or elsewhere, but I'm shocked at what you say your speeds are. In the past 3 weeks since I got Gen5 installed, I've gotten around 19-29 Mbps, download, and 1.8 to 2.5 up.
Previously on Gen4 I could watch a 1 hr show on netflix per day, but chose not to since it ate up a lot of data (this was before I knew you could dial it down to a lower resolution.
So now that I have Gen5 I've done the Netflix streaming thing and was doing OK up until about 2-3 days ago. NOW I can't get Netflix to work at all. It will spool but never play. And I don't just mean peak times (like now I'm getting 15.8 down and 2.27 up) I mean even in mid-morning, or early afternoon. And that's with it turned down to low resolution.
EDIT: Well, after I posted this, I thought about deleting cookies, and guess what, it's working now! But I AM still shocked at the speeds your getting!

What should I do? I've seen people say Netflix is "easily streamable" but not for me.
Thanks,

I'm sorry but honestly have no idea as I can stream Netflix on my Gen4 plan. About all I can suggest is to turn off the modem WiFi and plug directly into the modem to see if any better.
I personally suggest setting Netflix to low definition streaming regardless if Gen4 or Gen5 simply for the data savings if nothing else.
It may be best to start a new post if you haven't already, we've kind of gone off topic here.
