Hi thanks for repllying, pretty much everything, the smart tv is 8 years old but it's showing the WiFi signal from the hotspot on my phone the Samsung phone is only a couple of years old I have a Samsung table that connects easily to the mobile hotspot on my phone,

The following is advice I've already followed online, except (couldn't figure out how to access the hidden menu for the EU region.

Rename your hotspot to a fresh name like TVFINAL to force a clean scan.

Set hotspot security to WPA2-Personal only.

Use a simple 8-digit password like 12345678.

Force hotspot band to 2.4 GHz only.

Set hotspot broadcast channel to Channel 1 (not Auto).

Turn hotspot off for 10 seconds, then turn back on.

Disable Hotspot power saving on the phone.

Set hotspot MAC address type to Phone MAC, not randomized.

On TV, rescan networks using RED A button for a full scan.

Try manual IP with 192.168.45.x range if the TV reaches Step 2.

Since your TV fails at Step 1, focus on hotspot/handshake fixes, not IP.

Try to access hidden Wi-Fi Region menu from Network Status.

If region menu appears, set region to EU / ETSI.

If handshake still fails, try Wi-Fi module reset in service menu.

Grey router icon in Network Status means the Wi-Fi module isn’t completing the handshake

Change hotspot name to something very short, like TV.

Set hotspot password to exactly 8 numbers, no letters.

Turn Bluetooth OFF on your phone (can interfere with hotspot on some A-series models).

Turn Wi-Fi OFF on your phone before enabling hotspot.

Restart the TV by holding Power for 10 seconds (soft reset).

Disconnect all other devices from the hotspot — phone must only negotiate with TV.

On TV, go to Menu → Support → Self Diagnosis → Reset Smart Hub.

Try connecting with WPS (PBC) if your TV offers it (some H6400 units do, some don’t

If you see multiple network names on the TV that look similar, delete all saved networks first.

Try Channel 6 or Channel 11 on hotspot if Channel 1 still fails.

Set hotspot AP Bandwidth to 20 MHz (if the A03s shows this option).

In APN settings, confirm APN Protocol = IPv4 (TV can’t use IPv6).

Try manually creating a new APN instead of editing Meteor’s one.

On TV, go to Network → Network Settings → Start Again to clear all cached auth data.

Move phone right beside the TV’s IR/Wi-Fi module in case signal negotiation is weak
