There are a few methods you can try to resolve the issue. Some of these work for the Netflix error tvq-details-menu-100, a network issue; hence might work for the error tvq-rnd-100 and tvq-details-menu-100.

The solutions range from checking internet connectivity to opting out of Test participation. Read on to learn the steps for trying out each of these five solutions that could potentially fix the Netflix tvq-rnd-100 error.


Check Internet connectivity

Since Netflix states it is a connectivity issue, it is best to rule out poor connectivity. If you use a mobile device or a desktop, check your internet speed with a trusted speed test website online, such as Speedtest by Ookla, Speedsmart or the Netflix-recommended Fast.

If you’re signed in through your TV or streaming stick, you can check your internet speed in the Netflix app.

  • Go to the Netflix home screen and navigate to the left to open the menu.
  • Scroll down to the bottom of the menu, then to the right, and select Get Help.
  • Select Check your Network.

If the check fails or shows an error, your device isn’t connected to the internet or the internet connectivity is poor.

Contact your service provider to fix the issue if your internet speed is slower than recommended.

Netflix recommends the internet connectivity speed to be as follows:

Video qualityResolutionRecommended speed
Ultra-high definition (UHD)720p3 Mbps or higher
Full high definition (FHD)1080p5 Mbps or higher
Ultra high definition (UHD)4K15 Mbps or higher
