Solution 3: Check Internet download speed.
Generally, your internet download speed should be at least 6Mbps for Hulu and 8Mbps for Hulu+ Live TV. Upgrade your network download speed or upgrade to 5G network.
Solution 4: Troubleshoot DNS problems.
A Domain Name System (DNS) enables a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) so as to be memorized. Sometimes, DNS might do harm to your apps like Hulu. To rule out potential risks from DNS, clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache.
For Windows users, click Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and tap enter. Afterwards, select your operating system. Resort to an alternative to DNS service rather than your ISPs if Hulu is still not working on your computer after you succeed in other tasks like access a website.
Solution 5: Get browser problems resolved.
Force a full refresh for the site via "Ctrl+F5" shortcuts on Windows PC. Clean up the temporary cache and cookies on your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Explorer...) to make sure that you get the latest version of the web page.
Solution 6: Try more workarounds.
- Update your Hulu or Hulu+Live TV app to the latest version.
- Sign out of your Hulu app and re-sign in.
- Delete Hulu app on your device and re-install it to have a try.
- Reset your Wi-Fi modem.
