Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Network Problems

Checkpoints

y

Make sure that you have the latest version of the software.

- If you are using a Wi-Fi router, check whether you have the latest firmware installed.

- If there are any available updates, update the firmware according to the manufacturer's instructions.

- Check the current software version and if there is an available update, install it.

y

Check if the same symptom occurs with two or more Wi-Fi devices.

- Wi-Fi problems may be related to network condition and a device that is connected to the network.

- If other Wi-Fi devices can connect to the Internet at the same location as the TV, then your Wi-Fi router is

probably normal.

y

Check the power and Ethernet cables of the Wi-Fi router.

- When the Ethernet cable connected to the Wi-Fi router is loose or disconnected, network problems can

occur.

- Check all power and Ethernet cables of the Wi-Fi router to see if they are correctly connected.

y

Check the Wi-Fi router to see if the router is set to the recommended wireless settings. If network problems

continue, reset your network devices.

y

Check the signal strength of the Wi-Fi router to connect to from the TV UI.

- The

that is next to the Wi-Fi router name (SSID) in the menu indicates the sensitivity of the receiver.

- It is recommended that you connect to a Wi-Fi network with 3 or more bars of signal strength.

- If the number of bars indicating signal strength are less than 3, the network connection status may be weak

or unstable, so shorten the distance between the Wi-Fi router and the TV.

y

If the signal strength of the Wi-Fi router is weak, wireless speed slowdowns and network disconnection may

occur.

y

To supplement wireless coverage of network equipment, your Wi-Fi router should be placed in the middle of

the network equipment.

Interference Factors

If there is any interference from surrounding equipment, the network connection may be weak or unstable.

- Wireless telephones that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth

- Wireless speakers that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth

- Video transmitters that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth

- Other wireless devices (Microwaves, cameras, baby monitors, neighboring wireless devices, etc.) that operate

in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth.

y

How to reduce the effects of interference between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices

- Set the channel on your wireless network equipment to avoid the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth which has lots

of interference.

- If possible, use the 5 GHz wireless network.

- If the Wi-Fi router is located too far away or in environments with high interference, the network connection

may be weak or unstable.

- In this case, move the Wi-Fi router closer to the TV or check if there are any obstructions (e.g., concrete walls,

cabinets) between the two devices.
