Re: wifi help
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.

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

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).

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.

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

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.

This...
Also check channel width (available options are 20/40/80Mhz
If it's on 80 drop it too 20
