Smart TV keeps dropping WiFi and disconnecting
Your TV's WiFi is dropping because it's too far from the router, the connection settings got corrupted, or another device is interfering. Restart the TV and router, move the TV closer to the router, or forget and rejoin the WiFi network. This fixes it in most cases.
WiFi drops on TVs happen when the signal is weak, settings get corrupted, or there's interference. Restarting the router and TV usually fixes it. If it persists, forgetting the network and reconnecting helps.
- ✓Make sure your TV is within 30 feet of the router if possible
- ✓Check that no major obstacles (thick walls, metal objects) block the signal between TV and router
- ✓Have your WiFi network name and password ready in case you need to reconnect

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Restarting the TV without restarting the router — TV restart alone often doesn't fix router-side issues
- Not moving the TV closer when it's actually far from the router
- Assuming the problem is the ISP when the issue is weak signal or TV-specific WiFi problems
Signs you need professional help
- If the TV drops WiFi multiple times per day after moving it closer to the router, restarting both devices, and updating firmware, the TV's WiFi chip may be failing. Give us a call and we can help determine if repair or replacement is needed.
