I purchased a
Samsung HG28ED690AB 28 HD Ready SMART Hospitality LED TV and fail to set it up without being on hospitality mode. I want to use this for normal use only. I also cannot manage to pick up my wifi on the TV to enable the smart TV to operate and download apps. Any suggestions.

Hi @PB1963,
Did you select 'Standalone setup' when setting up the TV initially? Is the TV not finding any networks, or is it failing to connect? Can you setup a mobile hotspot for testing purposes and let us know if this allows a connection?

Hi,
I also have this problem. I bought this TV two days ago, I set up the "Standalone setup" at the beginning. I have full access to the menu and tools options. However, if I go to Menu -> Network, the options "Network Status" and "Network Settings" are not available. When trying to enter any of them I receive the message "This function isn't available".
I have tried to set up a Wifi hotspot, and it does work, as I can see the network on my laptop. However, because I haven't been able to setup a wifi connection on the TV, the hotspot wouldn't work.
I guess I just need to know why I cannot access the "Network Settings" option.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @AlbertoP,
Can you try this:
Select the Network Type you wish to use and proceed with the setup.

I am having similar trouble with the model TV, final suffix is XXU (if it helps).
I have no apps other than a web browser and cannot access some menu items as described by others, such as network settings. Since the browser functions, I guess the netwrok must be active.
I tried the tip you gave previously:
This does not open the Hotel Options Menu as stated. In fact, the TV switches on (I see the Samsung Logo) as soon as I press "9". Pressing "Enter" does nothing and I always get the "Home" screen with a large blank box (no antenna is connected), an "Information" button at its top right, and some function boxes down the right side, including Source and Menu.
This is incredibly irritating. I have been trawling the internet for hours, trying different suggestions from countless people and getting nowhere. I just want a TV with smart tv functions, particularly online apps, not just a browser.

Do what he said. Mute, 1, 1, 9, Enter.
Not only the menu pops up.
Top left of the screen go down to TV Reset.
This is going to ***** off the maintenance guy.
But, I am the maintenance guy.
Start the TV up do it for Digital TV.
You'll have your apps. But I'm gonna have too set your TV up again!
