Home network connection & troubleshooting

These steps are provided to help connect to your home network. If you need additional help with your router/modem, contact your internet provider.

1. Connect your TV to your network and the internet
   • Android TV™ models
   • Android TV to a hidden Wi-Fi network
   • Other TV models

   Note: If you are unable to see your router's network connection or connect the internet, perform a power reset of your modem/router.

2. Power reset your modem/router

   A connection issue with your modem/router is often resolved after a power reset. If you have a separate modem and router, power reset both devices.

   1. Unplug the power to your modem/router and wait about 60 seconds.
   2. Reconnect the power to your modem/router and make sure it's turned on.
   3. Wait until the device is finished connecting to the internet and your network.
   4. Check your network status.

   Note: If you continue to experience network/internet connection issues, confirm that your internet connection is available and working using another device (computer, tablet, smartphone, game console). If the issue exists on all devices, contact your internet service provider for additional help.

3. Signal strength and interference

   When using Wi-Fi®, the distance of the router to your device is another factor to consider. To maximize your viewing experience when streaming video or listening from an audio app, make sure that the router is placed near your device. They shouldn't be more than 25 feet away from each other. If possible, install both devices in a location without walls in between them. Other wireless devices such Bluetooth® speakers, wireless phones, microwave ovens, and devices sending radio frequency may also cause poor signal strength.
