I’ve been trying to figure out this issue for hours. Found your video. Reset the time to automatic. It turns out my son changed it when daylight savings changed. And all is well again. Now liked and subscribed and I’m off for a beer. I need it.

[@ieshagreen-geford8606]

I literally changed the time back to automatic on my tv and it worked. Thank you sooooo much. I been sitting here for so long trying to get my wifi to work on my tv.

I have a 70" TCL Google TV and the step that fixed mine was to disable the "Scanning is always available" setting in "Network & Internet" settings under "Other Options" right below the WiFi settings. Might want to add this

[@arlenelin1061]

Hey 🙂thank u sooo much,i've been struggling for 3 days trying to connect my tv on my hotspot, i tried "disabling this scanning is always available",IT WORKED!😂

Ive been having connection issues with my TCL TV. At first when i set up the TV i had no issues with Wi-Fi then it suddenly stopped workin. I tryed to connect it with LAN cable and still had issues. It worked for a while but then stopped working again. The TV was complaining about limited internet connection. This video helped me a lot. The time and date was set on manual. When i set it to automatic the internet workes with no issue atleats with the LAN cable. Going to try the Wi-Fi soon. Thx for the help. 😃

[@tomusannonymous]

Thanks I got it working. I had changed the wifi password and then the tv wouldn't connect (obviously) but when I tried to reconnect it, it wouldn't detect any wifi networks. Fixed it after holding the power button on the tv til it restarted.

[@markolalic1735]

Thanks 1000x times! Greate content and help in my case, problem was with time & date not set up on automatic

[@TheDestras]

Thanks for the video ! My tv connected to internet after setting the date and time to automatic

[@andreas-uq5td]

This helped me with my TV! I adjusted the date and time then everything works again, why is this tho? What's the connection between time/date and the wifi/apps? Netflix worked fine even tho the wifi connection said "connected, no internet"

[@n.e.u.7578]

Thank you so much for your video, I was going nuts, I just bought TCL tv manufactured on June 2023, it only connects to 2.4G, just found out in the manual, I have a router extender Netgear with 2 frecuencies 2.4G and 5G all my devices can connect to 5G without problem but the new TV only would connect to the 2.4G it doesn't find the 5G one. Is there a fix for this? I tried ethernet cable connected to the Netgear extender but connection gets disconnected from time to time as main router on ground floor and tv on 2nd floor...will a new wifimodule be installed to get 5G? Thank you in advance :)

[@bhue410]

Easy fix= goto tv settings and restart tv… quick and easy and worked for me !

[@jeffreyverhoeven3898]

How do you update the software if cannot connect to the wifi?

[@karrio8134]

None of these solutions worked

[@DtoTha]

Did you fix it yet? Try disabling "Scanning Always Available" below WiFi settings.
