 Test Internet Speeds

There is a minimum internet speed required to stream videos. Poor or slow speeds will interrupt viewing and present the error 6084 messages. So, ensure you sign onto a network that supports this bandwidth.

To know your internet bandwidth, you can log into an internet Speed Test website which will display your download speeds after running a quick scan.

Sometimes, you may have adequate speeds yet the connection is still unstable. At this point, try disconnecting all other devices from the wireless network to maximize the speeds.

Restart or Reset Router 

Having conducted all the above assessments in vain, check to see if there could be an inconsistency in your network. This is possible and happens when the ISP assigns an IP from a previous Amazon Prime account.

In this case, you can request a new IP address by using these two methods:

Restart your router 

To quickly and easily force for the assignment of a new IP address, use this simple process. It is the equivalent of a power-cycle and it will reassign an address without clearing out your router’s customized and established settings.

Using the power button on your router which is located near the rear, press it once to cut off the power. Proceed to disconnect the cable from the socket and wait for at least 90 seconds before plugging back in.

Once the restart is complete and the internet connection is established, try to stream your Amazon Prime content again.

Reset the Router 

Settings stored by your computer could be the reason behind the problem you are facing. If this is the case, a simple procedure like the restart you just did, will not be enough.

It could be that there is a more serious and deeply rooted issue in the network causing the error. The only way to solve this by clearing out custom settings previously established. This will include configuration settings such as the ISP logins.

The reset router process is initiated by long-pressing the reset button on the rear of your router.

Conclusion

This is only advised as a last resort but it will resolve most errors that are associated with a troublesome Amazon Prime connection.
