Caught in a wireless connection loop

[danwebbo]

My Samsung tv won't connect via wireless connection, it will start to load when you click onto wireless connection but will stay on the swirling circle page and then exit it after around a minute. It will bring me back to the network connection page and that's it. It will allow me to connect via wired connection but won't load at all for wireless. It used to connect but now it doesn't, I've reset it twice and made sure all of the updates were complete and it still won't load. Can anyone help?

Hi there, @danwebbo. I appreciate that you'll be wanting to unleash the potential of your TV by getting it connected to a Wi-Fi network. I understand that you've already reset your TV twice and have checked for software updates.

Please can you let me know the model number for your TV and when you started experiencing an issue with the wireless connection (just for context)?

The product codes are located on a label on the back panel of your TV.

That's great. I am confident you'll be up and running very soon. Have you had the opportunity to go through all the steps provided on the webpage below, @danwebbo?:

@danwebbo  A few points to mention is addition to the helpful advice @PaulM1  posted.

Some ideas not mentioned include the following:

switching off Tv for a minute, a soft Reset (pressing and holding power button on Smart Remote for around 5 seconds until Tv restarts ) and rebooting router(unplug from mains for at least 30 seconds.  There are a few other DNS options if need to set it manually other than the Google servers.  For instance  208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220 (Open DNS)

Is there any way to send videos on this platform? I'm sorry to say none of these options helped 😔

It won't allow me to even get to the lists of available networks, so I can't alter the IP address, it's only letting me change wired for some reason.

When I choose the wireless option it gets caught in a loop and doesn't go to the next page

Oh, that's very strange that none of the steps resolved this, @danwebbo. You can certainly upload a video by using the editor/console when typing up a post - just click on the video camera icon (if you hover over the icon, it will mention "Insert Video") and you can then insert a video from your computer, Gallery or YouTube.

As an alternative to doing this, you might prefer to reach out to our dedicated Support Teams here:

Whichever method of contact is best for you, I remain confident that you will get this resolved.
