Troubleshooting tips for resolving Samsung Smart TV WiFi connection issues

 

1. Check the router and modem. Make sure that the router and modem are turned on and that the cables are properly connected. You can also try restarting the router and modem by unplugging them for 30 seconds and then plugging them back in.

 

2. Check the distance between the TV and the router. The TV should be within 15 feet of the router for the best signal strength. If the TV is further away, you may need to use a WiFi extender or powerline adapter to boost the signal.

 

3. Check the WiFi network name and password. Make sure that you are entering the correct WiFi network name and password when you try to connect the TV to the internet.

 

4. Delete the saved WiFi network from your TV and reconnect. Go to the Network Settings on your TV, find your WiFi network and delete it. Then reconnect by entering your network name and password again. This can refresh the connection.

 

5. Reset the network settings on the TV. This will erase all of the saved WiFi networks and settings, so you will need to re-enter the network name and password. To reset the network settings, go to Settings General Network Reset Network.

 

6. Update the TV's firmware. Samsung regularly releases firmware updates for their TVs, which can sometimes fix WiFi connection issues. Outdated software / firmware can sometimes contribute to WiFi connectivity problems. Check if there are any updates available for your TV and update if possible. Updates often contain connectivity and network fixes. To check for a firmware update, go to Settings Support Software Update.

 

7. Perform a factory reset on the TV. This is a last resort, but it can sometimes fix WiFi connection issues that cannot be resolved by other methods. To perform a factory reset, go to Settings Support Self Diagnosis - Reset Smart Hub.

 

8. Restart your Samsung Smart TV. A simple restart can fix many issues. Unplug the power cable for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This will restart your TV and the built-in WiFi module.


Conclusion

Connecting your Samsung Smart TV to your WiFi network is a simple process, it just requires entering in your network details like the SSID and password correctly. 

 

Once connected, your Smart TV will have access to many features like streaming content from apps, browsing the web, updating software, and more. 

 

If you run into any issues connecting to your WiFi, try restarting both your router and your Samsung Smart TV.
