TCL Smart Tv issues
below are various problems that your TCL smart TV can face and how you can fix it.
TCL TV Gets Disconnected from the Internet
One of the most common TCL TV problems is the inability to connect to the Internet. Find out if the TCL TV is having Wi-Fi issues, and determine if the problem is from the router, TV, or both.
The distance between the TV and the router can be a cause of unstable Wi-Fi connection. Therefore, make sure the TV and router are close to each other for better connectivity. If the distance is the problem and you cannot bring the TV closer to the router, use Wi-Fi repeaters to boost the Wi-Fi signal.
If the distance between the router and the TV is okay, or you have a good connection from the current location, then it’s either the TV or router is at fault.
Connect your computer or smartphone to the Wi-Fi network to know where the problem is from. Check if you can stream videos from streaming services like YouTube. If you can’t stream videos, then it’s very likely that your router is at fault. Turn off the router, unplug it from the power source, and wait for like 2 minutes before restarting it.
If it is still unable to connect, then your Internet provider may be having issues. Consult with your provider to fix any technical issues with the internet provider.
Also, check If your smartphone or devices can connect to and use the Wi-Fi. You can also disconnect any idle devices connected to the wifi to know if your TV can connect.
If it connects after disconnecting inactive devices, it means that your Wi-Fi network was previously congested with too many devices. Depending on the manufacturer, there’s a limit to the number of devices Wi-Fi routers can connect.
Below are the last alternatives to fix your TV being unable to connect to the Internet,
- Open your network settings and click ‘forget Wi-Fi network.
- Turn off the TV, and unplug the power cable from any power source. Wait for two minutes then restart the TV
- After the TV boots completely, try connecting to the Internet
