connecting wifi to a TV (Sony) SMART
I follow all the steps to have my tv recognize the new wifi and no connect happens have tried 12 time today alone. any suggestions ????
@Greenhats Are you able to connect your other devices to the T-Mobile network? Assuming you are, are you getting a good signal near the back of the TV? (Use your phone and the Speedtest app.) If that is the problem, try moving the gateway to somewhere closer to the TV, but still able to connect to the tower.
Next try unplugging the TV for at least 30 seconds. Then try the TV setup again.
The next thing is to read this article -- https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-fix-vizio-tv-wont-connect-to-wifi-4685906 -- though some of it isn't relevant to the T-Mobile gateway because it has very few things we can change. I can tell you how to set up a second T-Mobile network (on the same gateway) with WPA/WPA2 security if you can't get the TV to connect to the default network (which has WPA2/WPA3 security.)
