My 32" TV refuses connection to wi-fi even after Factory reset everything
For a week I've had no wi-fi connection. I tried everything and I know what I'm doing. I finally used factory reset on everything. Still no connection. I'm pretty upset. I didn't want to have to do that but was my only choice. It didn't work. What else can I do? The set recognize all wi-fi codes but will not connect to the modem I have used for nearly two years. : ( .. is there anyone ?
WiFi Tips:
- WiFi signals fall better than they climb so it is better to have the device(s) providing WiFi as high as you can get like on a second floor or attic.
- Being too close to the device(s) providing WiFi can put you in a dead spot due to the way the antennas work. It is recommended being at least 10 feet away from the device.
- 2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz:
- 2.4 GHz: Speeds are slower than 5 GHz, but will travel over longer distances and travel trough walls and floors better. 2.4 GHz signals can be negatively affected by Microwaves and older cordless phones.
- 5 GHz: Speeds are faster than 2.4 GHz, but will only travel over shorter distances. The signal works better "Line of Site" and does not travel trough walls or floors very well.
- WiFi SSIDs: Both your 2.4 and 5 GHz networks should each have a unique name. Naming them the same will cause connectivity issues. This goes for any WiFi extenders you might have as well.
- WiFi devices often have bandwidth and connection limits. Too many IoT devices or end-users can congest a WiFi network. You should consider how many things will connect to WiFi and purchase devices that meet your needs.
