I have a Hisense and am having the same issue... in the evenings only. I finally figured it out because when I logged into my router I saw a device from hui zhou gaoshengda technology was "spoofing" the same IP as my TV!!! I have had this TV for several years and everything has been fine until the last few months or so.. so I'm not sure if it's the TV or if someone has placed a device in my house from this company. It appears it may be from a cheap electronic if you look up the associated MAC ID that's spoofing off your TV'S IP... but locating the device in your house will be difficult. I tried resetting my network but it didn't help. I don't.. This is crazy....
"hui zhou gaoshengda technology" (Huizhou Goldman Sachs Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese manufacturer of wireless/wifi modules. (just translate this site to English in your browser - http://www.gaosd.com/home). Scroll to the bottom to see the different manufacturers using them.

Not really "spoofing" your IP address of your Hisense TV, but is actually the MAC address of your wifi module inside your Hisense TV that is being assigned an IP address by your router to give the TV its internet access. (without a wifi/network module, your TV would not have an IP address since it cannot connect to a network or the internet without such a module).
A simple test is to unplug your Hisense TV. You should see the Huizhou drop off your "connected" devices list.
Additionally, you could also block/pause the associated MAC address of Huizhou in your router (or an accompanying router/ISP app, if available to you) and then see what device fails to connect to your network or internet when needed/used if you have multiple smart devices that may be using these modules.
