How to Fix Netflix Error Code D7361-1253

Check your Internet Connection

It is quite possible that you have this error showing up on Netflix because of a poor internet connection. In that case, we recommend you first check whether your internet connection is working or not. Also, make sure to run a speed test to check the download/upload speeds of your connection.

Apart from that, disconnect other devices that are already connected to the internet if it is safe to disconnect them.

Because Netflix streaming requires your internet connection to be stable and fast and if there are multiple devices streaming from the same connection, your internet speeds can be reduced and this could cause you problems in streaming.
