Smart TV not connecting to WiFi after a power outage
A power outage can reset your TV's WiFi settings or confuse the connection. Restart both your TV and router, then reconnect to WiFi using your password. This works for almost everyone.
When the power cuts out suddenly, your TV and router can lose track of each other. A simple restart gives them a chance to reconnect. The key is restarting the router first, waiting for it to fully come up, then restarting the TV so it finds the WiFi fresh.
