I couldn't connect this TV with my home wifi. All the other devices work but just this TV fails. Tried WPS and manual, all failed. Help, please!

I purchased this TV in March 2015. It would find the wifi service ID however it would fail after entering the password multiple times. I changed the connection to Wired and hooked up an ethernet cable from the router. Went to the Menu and software update area where I saw that the firmware on the TV as it was shipped was several versions behind. Once I installed the latest update via the same wired connection successfully and then proceeded to change the Internet Connection to Wireless in settings, attempted reconnection to my wireless connection and Voila, it established the wireless connection in the first try.

I cannot establish a connection either. Some devices have very weak wifi receivers, i think this is one. I had to buy a booster for my laptop, I think I need one for this tv as well. Bummer

Make sure you push the button on the router to detect the TV. My router is in the bedroom, TV in living room picked it up first time

Better not try. My device only worked once, now unable to work anymore, although my home WiFi is excellent.

If you are trying to get your tablet to connect with the LNT4061F via an HDMI connection, all I can say is be careful. The HDMI on my LNT4061F never worked properly and when it did "work", I would say that it worked half the time. Because of the issues with HDMI, I went to Samsung's website to check to see if there was a firmware update which might help solve the HDMI. I downloaded the latest firmware update and it fried my TV. I thought there would be a way to undo the update and there was not. I contacted Samsung and all they could say was, "why did you install the firmware?" My answer back to them was, "why didn't you place some type of warning on the update to state that the update might not work and that it might render your TV useless?" No comment on Samsung's part and no they did not offer any type of resolution. It would have been nice if they offered a discount on a new TV or on a replacement board for the TV but they did not. Then again, I have come to expect very little from Samsung in terms of service. We have a refrigerator from them that developed rust after about 13 months and a Samsung dryer with parts that have burned up during use so I know about Samsung. I bought a replacement set from Panasonic and it has been excellent. I have no idea about how Panasonic will be in terms of support but then again, nothing has gone wrong with the TV so... there you go!

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

Did this work for you also?I have just purchased the TV and it keeps blanking out on HDMI, it is really bad happens every few minutes.Did the firmware help you?

I sent mine back. I couldn't get it to connect to the remote unit. I have dealt with wireless networks for work and home for years and found this to be not reliable or easy to use.

We really love this TV the more we use and become aquainted with it. It would seem that this unit in my opinion is flawed. I would certainly check with LG on this and perhaps look into a return. Good luck. kc

The WiFi circuit is poor. Try moving it or use a longer HDMI cable. It can make a big difference. If no joy, Try a wifi extender.

Jillian, I haven't tried yet but it says I can add my Sony wifi TV to my home group. I will try later and let you know.

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

My guess there is no internet connection, turn TV off restart, then it should work again....allow TV couple of minutes to connect to the internet (doesnt matter if wifi or cable)

For this tv, I have actually never tried if it's able to connect to internet. I purchased a blue-ray player at the same time and that's how I get connected. I do want to mention the quality in picture and sound is outstanding!

I am having connectivity issues with my new Sony TV. I am using a wireless connection to my router. I set the connection up, and all works fine. After I turn the TV off, and come back, I have to repeat this process. The TV will see the router, it is connected, but says no internet. Any ideas? Software bug?

This series of TVs are not "smart"; that is, they do not have any internet connectivity. So, as is, you cannot stream from wifi. On my 50L5200U I got around this by adding a Roku3 which works perfectly.

I can't get this to connect to wifi at all now, at home or work. I hate to do a factory reset, I think I'll lose everything right. It's been fine for about a 1.1/2 years. Maybe time for new one.

I tried to connect it to two vizio televisions in my home and NONE worked. The only tv that did work before the slimport totally died was my newer samsung smart tv.

So far, I can't get the WiFi to connect on mine. I've done the firmware upgrade, but that didn't help. It sees the router with a strong signal, but won't connect when I enter the code. So, I'm using the cable for now, but if that's all that works, I should take this one back and get the one without WiFi that is $70 less.
