Try powering the TV off at the socket for 30 seconds and on again, if that doesn't work do the same with your modem.

tried that and still no joy wifi working ok ipad picking it up

Re: wifi help
 

Delete the wifi settings for the connection on the TV and set it up again thats all i can think of to fix it.

Re: wifi help
 

thanks i'll give that a try

Re: wifi help
 

Also try turning off the hub firewall and try to connect and if it connects turn it back on again.

Re: wifi help
 

even tried softwere update on tv still not picking wifi, may have to launch it out the window!!

Re: wifi help
 

I have similar problems with shub 2. Some days some devices won't see it.
Other days it's fine, the range is actually quite good when it works.
i've solved it in 3 ways for different situations.


Sons X-box now connected via homeplugs (this might be your best bet for the tv).

Anything important connected via ethernet cable where practicable.
Set up a secondary router as an access point for when the main wifi is dicky (also you could use the shub in modem mode if you have a spare router).

many thanks will look into that strange ipad will pick up wifi in garden but tv wont and only 12ft apart!!

Re: wifi help
 

I'd check the WiFi channel(s) - I had one HELL of a time trying to figure out why my V6 was losing WiFi every now and then.

...Turned out that it didn't support DFS channels and it was simply dropping connection every time my router auto-switched! :)

The above would make since, owing to the fact that you can see other local wireless networks.

when is a smart tv not a smart tv ? when it says you are connected on the screen and you go to view yutube and its says check connection settings, I give up

Re: wifi help
 

If you're connected to your 5G VM network, try connecting to your 2G one.

Also did you try turning off the Hub firewall and rebooting the Hub and then connect to the TV?

Have you tried running an Ethernet to the TV?

Re: wifi help
 

not sure how to turn off hub firewall, just an ethernet to tv and bang no probs and then only to find VM messing about rebooting hub for some reason seems to be a regular thing in the last 2wks, if I phone them on 150 I always land up with someone I cant understand does my head in.

Re: wifi help
 

Login in with your hub info here http://192.168.0.1 this is assuming you have a hub 3 if not see the last link.

Go to advanced security settings/firewall

More info for logging in.

Re: wifi help
 

This...

Also check channel width (available options are 20/40/80Mhz

If it's on 80 drop it too 20

Re: wifi help
 

Mine is set to 20/40 for 5Ghz is that bad, could it be better changing it to something else?

For Baz it may also be worth disabling channel optimisation.

Re: wifi help
 

No, 20/40 should be fine.. 80 when used in conjunction with DFS is a real PITA

Re: wifi help
 

thanks very much guys i'll look into that when I get my head strait mine is a hub 3 just couldn't understand how my ipad could pic up wifi in the back garden yet tv cant pick it up in the same room, guess that's modern technology for you!!

Re: wifi help
 

I once had this issue on the PS4 where wifi couldn't connect and i had to turn the Firewall off briefly and or a Hub3 reboot.

Re: wifi help
 

there is a switch on front of hub saying( Pair wps)

Re: wifi help
 

I've never used anything like that i always use the wifi password which would do the same thing.

Re: wifi help
 

Any update?

Re: wifi help
 

not at the moment busy sorting other stuff out.
