You have a slow Internet connection. This may be caused be the Streaming Stick being far from the wireless router. The best way to watch Netflix is to have an internet connection of 25/25 Mbps and use a wired (ethernet ) connection to a Roku 3 for example. If you are using DSL that would be a problem because of slow internet speed. Try to imorove the position of the router closer to the Streming Stick if possible. I stream at a distance of 30 ft and it never buffers with a wireless connection to a 720p TV and have a wired connection to a Roku 3 10 a 1080p TV and it works beautifully. Good Luck!

The batteries and either low or dead, or the Remote needs to be Re-paired with the player (Roku 3 and Roku 4). Open the battery cover on the remote and look for a small button and hold it for 2 seconds, this should make it start to resync with the Roku Player.

Try wiggling ROKU stick just a hair or push it in and out until you get a signal..A purple screen with the words ROKU should show up on TV.If you have a bad port on TV it would have to be replaced but this is rare,if you have a second port on tv try that.Have you tried your ROKU stick on another tv?Does your streaming stick go in vertically or horizontally,if it goes in vertically it may be pressing against side of tv prohibiting a good connection.You could try a HDMI cable, plug the HDMI cable into tv and put ROKU in other side of cable.There is also a restart button on ROKU stick push it and it will start blinking,if it doesn't light up you may have a defective ROKU stick.
If you plug the Roku into the back of the TV in an HDMI port, you need to hit the Input button on the TV to change (probably) from HDMI1 to HDMI2. Once you are on HDMI2, you should see the Roku emblem. Then you need to set up the Roku to see your wireless signal.
