Wired internet connection
If you prefer a wired connection, follow these steps:
- Connect an Ethernet cable from your TV to your internet hub.
- Press the “Menu” button on your remote control.
- Select the “Network” function and press “OK”.
- Choose “Wired Network”.
- Your TV should automatically connect to the internet. If prompted, enter a password or select a confirmation button from the menu.
If you’re still experiencing issues with the wired connection, seek additional troubleshooting help online or from the TV manufacturer.
Resetting your TV to factory settings
If all else fails, you may need to reset your TV to its factory settings. Please note that this should be a last resort after trying other solutions.
- Press the “Menu” button on your remote control.
- Select the “System” setting and press “OK”.
- Go to “Reset” and select it.
- Select “Admin” and press “OK”.
- Choose the “Reset TV to Factory Defaults” option.
- Confirm the reset, and your TV will revert to its factory settings.
Keep in mind that a factory reset may not always solve the problem, especially if it’s related to your internet connection. Check your Ethernet cable, ensure your Wi-Fi network signal is strong, and troubleshoot any other potential issues before resorting to a factory reset.
Troubleshooting your hub
If you’re still having trouble connecting, it’s possible that the issue lies with your internet connection or hub. Try restarting the hub by turning it off for a couple of minutes and then turning it on again. You can also try unplugging the Ethernet cable from the TV and reconnecting it. If problems persist, reach out to your TV vendor or manufacturer for further assistance.
