and brand and type of the wireless router (access point). When using the
wireless LAN of the TV, it is suggested to place the wireless router as close
as possible to the television.

Check the installation location of the TV and wireless router (access point).
Signal quality may be affected for the following reasons.

are placed nearby.

There are floors or walls between the wireless router and TV.

If the problems continue even after checking the above, try making a
wired LAN connection.
