Wi-Fi hardware missing

So…I’ve seen these messages here, and not it’s happening to me!

I have contacted Philips, I have contacted Roku, both say the other should fix it.

i have done the factory reset (several times)

I have done the hard reset button, I have placed software updates on a flash drive and uploaded to the tv (couple times)

Ive seen it said to do a network connection reset, but I don’t even have this option under any area in settings.

my tv doesn’t have an Ethernet connection so guessing I need to get a Roku or Amazon stick at this point? Or resort back to a VCR!

any help is welcome, please and thank you

  • I bought the tv in November so haven’t even had it a year. It did work for a while, worked great!
    I did begin with Philips, and they said it’s a common thing and that Roku would have to fix it. I was told this on chat and on a phone call.

    Are you saying that no wireless networks appear when you attempt to connect it to WiFi? I have heard reports of some Roku TVs having a bad antenna connection on the wireless module, but that would be a hardware issue that the manufacturer has to address. Since you mentioned Philips, I assume they built your TV. That means any hardware issues are their responsibility. How old is your TV? Did it ever work on WiFi?

    Hey GrauntyBoo​

    We appreciate the troubleshooting steps you took to fix the issue with your Philips Roku TV with Wi-Fi. 

    We'd like to learn more about the missing Wi-Fi hardware. Could you provide additional details? Are you referring to your Wi-Fi network name not appearing in the list when you try to connect your device to the internet?

    Looking forward to your reply.

      I can’t even get to the scan screen to try to find a network connection. See the screenshot of the message below.

      Someone said to go under advanced settings and do network reset, but I don’t even have that option
