I have a Phillips Roku TV, so Roku is built in (i.e., no stick). It worked well for a couple of months, then suddenly "no connection." Not only is there no connection when I turn it on, but then I go to settings and attempt to "connect." My wifi (Deco mesh system) is recognized and shows a strong signal. I hit connect, but NO DICE. It refuses to connect to the wifi it sees. (Yes, the password is correct.) I unplug the TV for 30 seconds, then plug in and power on. Occasionally, that works, but mostly not. I need to unplug TV and reboot my router. Then when everything is up and running, I have a wifi connection (or, if not, I can reconnect through settings). I've tried numerous steps, like telling the TV to forget the network and only connecting to the IOT band that is restricted to 2.4G. The problem persists. I can turn this TV on in the morning and have a connection, then turn it off for several hours, then turn it on in the afternoon only to see "no connection." And then I have to go through the multiple reboots mentioned above to get the connection back. This makes ABSOLUTELY no sense.
I have two other TVs with Roku streaming sticks and have not run into this problem. In fact, the problem TV (in my basement) is a replacement for a smaller TV with which I used a Roku streaming stick. I never had a problem with that Roku streaming stick, which is in the exact same location as the problem Phillips Roku TV. What gives?
Is there a solution short of tossing this TV? (Is there some way I can use the old Roku streaming stick by plugging it into one of the HDMI ports on the Phillips Roku TV? If so, how do I get the TV to automatically go to the HDMI channel? Totally frustrated!!!!!
