How To Fix Samsung TV Internet or Wi-Fi Connection Problem

If your Samsung TV doesn’t detect any wireless networks or keeps losing internet connection, there may be several possible causes behind the problem. In some cases, a simple reset of the TV can do the magic, while in others, you may need to reset the network settings or update the TV software to the latest version.

The solution depends on the cause of the problem, and here are some factors that can cause your Samsung Smart TV to not respond to a WiFi network or Internet connection.

  • Some Little Mistakes: Sometimes we instantly start looking for big solutions to very small problems. If your TV can detect wireless networks but cannot establish a connection, it may be due to an incorrect password or a bug in the software. In some cases, turning off the TV with the remote control for a long time corrupts the network settings and results in an Internet connection problem.
  • DNS server settings – Each digital device that supports connectivity has a DNS (Domain Name System) setting that must be configured correctly to facilitate connection to the Internet. By default, your Samsung Smart TV retrieves the DNS server settings automatically. Sometimes, especially when your TV is not connecting to WiFi or a wireless network, the user has to configure the DNS server manually.
  • MAC Address Failed Address: MAC (Media Access Control) is a unique identification number assigned to a network adapter by the device OEM. MAC addresses for Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. on the same device they are unique and different. Since the MAC address for computers, smartphones, or smart TVs is static, it can be blocked by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) to prevent a device from connecting to a WiFi router. Also, if the MAC address of your Samsung TV has failed for some reason, it will not detect any wireless networks.
  • Firmware or out-of-date software error: Samsung maintains continuous firmware or software updates for its smart TVs at intervals. If you don’t keep your TV connected to a working internet connection, you won’t be able to download and install the latest firmware updates. If you have disabled automatic software update on your TV, your firmware will be out of date and can cause a lot of problems, including a network connectivity problem. Not just an older firmware version, even a bug in the latest software update your TV recently received could cause network-related issues on your TV.
  • Router or modem problem: If there is a problem with the WiFi router or Internet modem, the TV will not be able to find or connect to a wireless network. Replacing your modem could fix the connectivity problems on your TV.

Troubleshooting Guide: Samsung TV not Connecting to Wifi 2021

Now that we have outlined the reasons that may prevent your TV from finding a wireless network or connecting to an Internet connection, let’s try to fix the problem. Depending on the reason, the solution may differ. Below is a list of all possible solutions and solutions to fix the WiFi connection problem on your Samsung TV.

Restart your Samsung TV

This is the easiest possible solution for the internet connection problem on your Samsung TV. It should work if your TV has a connectivity issue due to some temporary issues. Now, there are 2 methods to reset the TV and you should try both.

  1. Make sure your TV is turned on.
  2. Press and hold the Power button on the remote control.
  3. Hold it down until you see the Samsung logo on the TV screen.
  4. The red LED on the TV will start to flash faster.
  5. When the TV is on, try to reconnect to the WiFi network.

If that doesn’t work, try the following.

  1. Turn on your television.
  2. Let it run for 5-10 minutes and then turn it off by unplugging the power cord.
  3. Wait about 30 minutes and then turn on your TV.

Verify your WiFi password

Believe it or not, a wrong password is one of the most common reasons behind an internet connection failure. In many cases, people enter the wrong password by mistake or accident, even if they have the correct password. Make sure you have the correct password, and if you do, type it correctly

The on-screen TV keyboard is not as user-friendly as a computer or smartphone keyboard. If your TV can detect available wireless networks and cannot establish a connection, you should try re-entering the correct password.

  1. Press the Start button on your remote control.
  2. Go to Settings> General> Network> Open network settings> Wireless.
  3. Select the wireless network you want to connect to and type the password carefully. You can enable the Show Password option to check if you have entered the correct password.
  4. If your WiFi router password is too difficult or long, you should try changing it to a simpler and shorter one.

Reset network settings on your Samsung TV

If your Samsung TV can’t find WiFi or can’t detect a wireless network, it may be due to some problem with configuring the network settings on your TV. In such a case, resetting the network on your TV could help to fix the Wi-Fi connection problem.

  1. Press the Start button on the TV remote control.
  2. Go to Settings> General> Network.
  3. Click on the Reset Network option and select Yes.
  4. Now, restart your TV and reconfigure the network settings.

Disconnect all other Wi-Fi-connected devices

Some Wi-Fi routers have a preset limit on the number of devices they can connect to. If you are trying to connect to a wireless access point using a smartphone, you should check the device’s access point settings if you have a limit of connected devices.

It doesn’t matter if you are trying to connect to a Wi-Fi router or mobile hotspot, you should try to disconnect all other devices and connect your TV by itself.

Try connecting to a different wireless network

The Internet connection problem on your Samsung TV can have two scenarios.

  • Your TV can find available networks but cannot connect to any of them.
  • Samsung TV does not detect any wireless networks at all.

If you want to fix the problems mentioned above, try connecting your TV to different networks. For example, if your TV won’t connect to your WiFi router, you can try a different network. The easiest way is to try to connect to a mobile hotspot. If you have already made an unsuccessful attempt to connect to an access point using a smartphone, try another phone or router.

If your Samsung TV can connect to any wireless network (access point or router), there is no problem with your TV. In this case, you should contact your Internet service provider or the manufacturer of the WiFi router. Sometimes if a router is connected to too many devices, it might not handle all of them and create connectivity issues. You should try to reduce the number of devices connected to the network.

You should also check if your other devices can easily connect to your router. If all your devices except your TV are not having connection problems, it means there is something wrong with your TV.

Configure the DNS server manually

DNS or Domain Name System is a network of directories that resolves hostnames ( nrw.com, for example) associated with an IP address. By default, devices such as computers, smartphones, and smart TVs automatically resolve DNS over IP to connect to the Internet. However, if your device is unable to do so for some reason, you can configure the DNS server manually to fix an internet connection problem.

Here is how you can configure the DNS server on your Samsung TV manually.

  1. Go to Settings> General> Network> Network Status.
  2. Cancel the network test and select IP Settings.
  3. Go to DNS Settings and select Enter Manually.
  4. Now enter 8.8.8.8. After entering the first 8, you will need to use the arrow (>) button to navigate to the second field to enter the next 8 and so on. Finally, select the Done option on the number selection bar.
  5. Now try connecting again.

Check the network signal strength

If your Samsung Smart TV keeps losing internet connection, you need to navigate to Settings> General> Network> Open network settings> Wireless and check how many bars the network has. If there are only 1 0r 2 bars or it keeps fluctuating, you may not have a stable connection. In this case, your TV will connect to the network but you will not be able to stream or upload anything from the Internet. This is normal if the router is placed behind many walls. Try moving the router closer to your Samsung TV or use the WiFi repeater to strengthen the signal.

Restart the network source

This step should help you connect your TV to a WiFi connection in case there is a problem from the router or access point device side.

  1. Unplug the power cord from the WiFi router.
  2. Wait about 5-10 minutes and turn it on again.
  3. Wait 5 minutes for the router to finish loading the internet settings.
  4. Now, go to Settings> General> Network> Open network settings> Wireless. Select the WiFi network you want to connect to check if the problem has been resolved.

Network compatibility with your Samsung TV

All Samsung smart TVs released before 2018 only support 2.4 GHz networks. Suppose your WiFi router has a 5Ghz network, your TV will not be able to detect the wireless network. So if your TV is old, it may not support the 5Ghz network. In that case, you must contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to adjust the network settings to 2.4 GHz.

Note: The models NU6, NU71, NU72, and NU73 of Samsung TVs only support 2.4 GHz networks.

Factory reset your Samsung TV

Samsung TV WiFi connection problems can also be caused by some unknown system complications or MAC address failure. Performing a factory reset on your TV could fix these problems.

  1. Go to Settings> General.
  2. Select Reset.
  3. Enter the PIN to initiate the system reset. The default PIN is 0000.

Unblock the MAC address of your TV

If your TV’s MAC address is blocked at the router or by the ISP, you need to unblock it.

  1. Go to Settings> Support> About this TV to find out the MAC address of your TV.
  2. Make a note of the MAC address give it to your Internet Service Provider and request to be unblocked or whitelisted.

Change your modem and router

If any of the above suggestions did not work and you are still having problems with the Internet or WiFi connection, you should ask your Internet Service Provider to replace your WiFi modem or router. After you’ve installed a new modem or router, your problem should be solved. Be sure to restart your TV before trying to connect it for the first time after modem installation and setup.

Update your Samsung TV software

As a last resort to fix the WiFi connection problem on your Samsung TV, you should try to install the latest firmware available on your TV. Your TV can download and install the latest software automatically if it is connected to the Internet. Since you have connectivity issues, you will need to download the firmware and install it manually.

Samsung TV software update via USB

If for some reason you cannot update your TV via the built-in software updater, you can download the latest firmware update for your TV model and install it locally using a USB flash drive.
