My Android TV doesn't connect to my wireless network

The following information is provided to help resolve issues when connecting your Android TV™ to a wireless network. Check each section as needed to resolve the issue.

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.
