No internet connection on TV. Automatic network setup. Automatic IP acquisition

In this article, we will connect an LG TV to the Internet. We already have instructions for connecting the network on the site. But, if you are unable to connect via wireless network, your TV does not have a Wi-Fi receiver, or you trust the cable connection more, you can connect the TV via a network cable (LAN) without any problems.

All LG TVs that support the Smart TV feature have network LAN connector (what it is for, you can read), into which we just need to connect the cable from the router, make some settings, and the Internet will work right away. You can also connect the TV to the Internet without a router, directly from the provider. But, there are some nuances, which we will discuss below.

This manual is suitable for all models of LG TVs with Smart TV. Moreover, it does not matter what Smart TV system you have: old, webOS, or webOS 2.0. After connecting via cable through a router, you can not only watch YouTube videos, online movies, or browse sites in a browser. It will be possible without problems, and watch movies that are on the computer's hard drive. And if there are usually problems when watching big movies over Wi-Fi, then everything works well over cable.

Connecting an LG TV to the Internet via a cable router

First, we need to connect the TV to a router, or modem. For this, we take network cable, one end is connected to the router in the LAN connector:

The second end of the cable must be connected to the TV also in the LNA connector:

Next, on the TV, go to Smart TV, and select the Internet connection icon "Net". On TVs with new Smart TV built on webOS, the network is configured in the settings. There should be a "Network" tab. If you have the opportunity to send me a photo of the Internet settings on webOS, then I will be very grateful.

Choose "Set up connection".

In the next window select "Wired network".

The TV will connect to the Internet. Close the window by clicking on "Ready".

If the TV does not connect to the network, then first make sure that the router is turned on and is distributing the Internet. The router must be configured. Also, check the cable connection, and if possible, try to replace the cable.

Connecting a TV to the Internet without a router

I have to enter all the same cable connection, but without using a router or modem. When you have a cable from an Internet provider laid in your apartment, and we immediately connect it to the TV. At the beginning of the article, I wrote about some of the nuances with such a connection. So, you can connect the cable from the provider directly to the LG TV, but the Internet will only work if your provider uses Dynamic IP (DHCP) or Static IP connection technology.

The fact is that if you have a PPoE, L2TP, or PPTP connection, then without a router, the Internet will not work on the TV. For the reason that the TV does not know how to start such a connection. Well, if your provider has a Dynamic IP connection, then simply connect the network cable to the TV and set up the network as I showed above.

If the connection technology is Static IP (Which is actually rare), then during the connection setup process, you can manually set the IP and DNS addresses on the LG TV. It is enough to select the item during the setup process. "Manual setting".

Then select a wired network, set the required IP, subnet mask, gateway and, if necessary, DNS. And connect to the network. You will have to set the settings manually in the same way if you are connecting through a router on which the DHCP server is disabled (automatic distribution of IP addresses).

Modern plasma and LCD TVs with Internet access do not just attract our attention in shop windows. Today they are a bestseller in the market for such devices.

Emergence of "smart" TV technology

The most creative users tend to purchase this symbiosis of TV and PC. Working with the Internet environment is provided by the now popular Smart-technology, mastered by the main TV manufacturers (the list of the best-selling models in 2014 will be presented below). The pioneer in its development was Samsung. It is with her light hand the term "Smart-technology" has become generally accepted. Samsung's proprietary operating system is called Tizen.

Currently, almost all new models from a number of manufacturers (Philips, Toshiba, LG) contain a basic package that supports Smart TV.

Technology companies and their operating systems

Each corporation develops its own engineering solutions, offering the buyer TVs with Internet access and 3D, working with their own software.

For example, LG develops the webOS operating system (OS) purchased from Hewlett-Packard. This open source system is promising for the development of new applications.

Internet access through the TV is made through a special LAN port via a Wi-Fi connection with a router or using WPS technologies, one foot Connection, Plug & Access. For successful work For a smart TV, sufficient information transfer speed is important (from 10 to 20 Mbps).

Smart TVs are now even better

Users of ordinary TV receivers will probably ask: “TVs with Internet access - what is it?” The functions of such devices are an order of magnitude higher than the capabilities of a conventional TV receiver. This technique offers a new level of convenience for the consumer. Indeed, using entertainment Internet resources on a wide screen, while relaxing on a comfortable sofa, is clearly more convenient than, say, using a laptop on the same sofa. But rushing after smartphones to exploit the media capabilities of the world wide web, new TVs have not yet become budget devices.

Why are they preferred by modern viewers? Hybrid technology that combines the media capabilities of a PC and the current offerings of a modern digital television, was the cause of a breakthrough in the seemingly stable market for television receivers. Users of new devices receive obvious convenience and benefit.

Indeed, TVs with Internet access are not tied to an hourly TV program. Users are in an advantageous position. Internet media resources provide them with the opportunity to get the necessary information at any time convenient for them, as well as enjoy watching movies or music selected to their taste.

Obvious convenience new TVs provide fans of social networks. They can alternately chatting with friends to discuss the video resources they are watching. Internet access through a TV equipped with a variety of interactive applications, multifunctional.

TVs with Internet access. Basic concepts

Since Smart devices are connected to the Internet and to local networks, users, of course, should be aware of the principles of operation of modern gadgets.

Let's start with brief description Smart TV. This technology integrates television digital interactive service with Internet navigation capabilities. Thus, the TV became "smart". To do this, he, like a smartphone, was given the functions characteristic of a computer, providing its own operating system and applications. Accordingly, the operation of such a device is regulated by special standards:

- DLNA. arranges network connection PC, Smart-TVs, mobile devices to the Internet via a modem or router. In this case, the content recorded on one of the connected devices is played back on another connected to it in the same network.

- Wi-Fi standard. It is also called the wireless connection standard. Internet-connected TVs use this standard, either with a dedicated built-in box or with a USB dongle that supports Wi-Fi.

- ethernet. Defines the wired connection of devices with local network. At the same time, good indicators of speed, noise immunity, and reliability are provided.

- IPTV standard. This is the Internet TV protocol.

- HbbTV standard (European). Regulates the transmission of multimedia information over all kinds of communication lines, including Wi-Fi (broadband Internet connection, satellite, cable, terrestrial channels).

We also consider it correct to recall the interpretation of the term "broadband" (providing continuous high-speed download and upload of data). This is a necessary way to connect your Smart TV to the World Wide Web.

Widgets - convenient TV interface

Special programs turn TVs with Internet access into excellent navigators. A widget is a special graphical module that connects the user to a specific streaming video or media. For example, to exchange rates or to a TV channel. It should also be noted that the widget does not require the television device to use large amounts of memory. How is this achieved? The graphical shell is placed by the manufacturer in the Smart TV. At the same time software is located and, accordingly, works in the cloud.

Social networks, Skype

Modern manufacturers of this miracle of technology initially install Twitter, Facebook, and Google Talk widgets on their models (often they are combined in the Social TV menu item). They did not remain offended by the new technology and top TV channels, following the spirit of the times and equipping their own on the World Wide Web information portals, rendered by individual widgets.

TVs with Internet access, equipped with the popular Skype program, also perform the in-demand video calling function.

TV manufacturing companies and interface features

Now, by turning on the required widget, you can, without leaving your TV, view new YouTube clips or take an interest in the weather forecast.

Various manufacturers offer their own widgets, so we recommend that customers choose a manufacturer based on personal tastes. For fans of social networks, Samsung is more suitable. Provides excellent viewing of collections of movies and TV shows LG TV (Internet access is provided through the appropriate widgets). If you are serious about e-commerce, then Philips will allow you to use eBay's international auction online, where trading takes place without national borders.

It should be noted that the most popular widgets are provided to users on a paid basis.

Smart TV Networking

For even greater integration of television with the Internet, in terms of functionality as close as possible to a PC, Google, Intel, Sony, Logitech created the Google TV universal platform. Thanks to her, by connecting to the Google service, any TVs with Internet access LG and Samsung Google TV also automatically get access to YouTube. Chrome browser and Adobe Flash allow you to run and enjoy games in the same place, right on the Internet pages.

The Google TV platform can also be built into the TV itself. Naturally, such a technique is less budgetary, but free navigation on the Internet is worth it! You can pay for versatility. TVs with Internet access will compete with PCs (they are presented in a wide range in M.Video and other retail chains).

User opinions

There are a number of Russian publications with sales ratings in the considered segment of household appliances. At the same time, a thoughtful buyer is interested, of course, not in advertising, but in the sales practices of retail chains. It is also of interest how users characterize their TVs with Internet access. Reviews should be read, paying attention to the functionality, stable operation, shortcomings.

At the end of 2014, for example, Russian retail chains federal level Saturn and Media Markt were the most active in selling three models of Smart TVs with a diagonal of 46-47 inches. In this article, we will limit ourselves to this rating. The price of Smart TVs with large screens, as you understand, is higher.

SMART - living room TV

Let us briefly describe other TVs with Internet access. Reviews for devices with a diagonal of more than 50 inches are impressive. Typically, the technique of such bigger size is an important element of the living room. Ideally, this is a family cinema with a convenient and friendly interface. By the way, almost all TVs with Internet access meet these criteria (2014 rating). When buying a user, the following is especially important:

Convenient and functional remote control with keyboard;

Powerful internet browser;

What widgets are initially available (including Skype, social networks);

Ease of installing additional widgets (carried out through the company's online store);

Is there a built-in webcam?

Is it convenient to work with Wi-Fi (is it fast, is such a connection conveniently restored);

Availability of USB outputs;

Work in the mode of requests to search for films (function Your Video).

European opinion. Best SMART TV 2014

According to the European association of magazines EISA, specializing in the field of video and audio (and these are fifty publications from 20 countries), among Internet TVs in 2014 a clear leader was determined. They became a 55-inch quad-core SMART-TV Samsung UE55F8000. An impressive number of widgets are easily and visually managed by the Smart Hub service. Samsung UE55F8000 is controlled by a video camera, remote control, voice.

Users note the perfectly working 3D function. According to reviews, the image looks especially impressive if you look at it in the dark: depth and texture appear. You can't help but be pleased with the volume and high-quality sound. Screen brightness auto-adjust works well.

Perspective - gaming capabilities of "smart" TVs

In 2016, according to analysts at IHS iSuppli, the gaming capabilities of TVs connected to the Internet will create significant competition for console applications. It is expected that the profit in this market segment will reach 1.6 billion US dollars, and the number of units of equipment working for consumers - 800 million units. SMART TVs represent a dynamically growing gaming market and are becoming attractive platforms for leading gaming companies.

Samsung smart TV users prefer Catapult King, Slingshot Racing, Air Attack, Mini Motor Racing games.

There are applications for those interested in horoscopes, and for those involved in self-education.

Conclusion

The advantages of TVs with Internet access are obvious. However, there is a factor that hinders their promotion in the market. This is the price.

But the modern World Wide Web, interactive TV services, as well as the development of corporations in the field of Smart TV are already determining the increased demand of consumers for this household appliances. Cisco analysts say that already in 2015 every tenth family will use Smart-TVs, and by 2018 the share of "smart TVs" will be more than a quarter of the entire market - 26.8%.

This will change the status of television, which will no longer position itself as a monopolist in the TV market of media resources and will be forced to compete for the viewer with many other electronic resources.

Currently, "smart TVs" are gaining their share of the Internet market, actively competing with PCs and tablets.

I was thinking that I already wrote about connecting the TV to the World Wide Web. But I’ll write about how to access the Internet from an LG TV that has a Smart TV function. Perhaps, this article will seem to someone too simple, and not necessary. But I'm sure a lot of people will find it useful.

Practically, from all TVs that can connect to the Internet and have the Smart TV function, you can visit websites, access social networks, read Twitter, etc. Yes, yes, even VKontakte can be accessed from the TV while lying on the couch. Here they are - technologies 🙂

I will write this article using the LG TV as an example. (Model LG 32LN575U, but it doesn't matter).

A few words about the browser

The browser built into LG TVs is quite decent. He even knows how to play Flash. But he's there, to play banners, nothing more. Video on some site, or a game in social network, it will run. But, most likely, after a while an error will appear:, or something like that.

Navigation, functionality, browser speed, are, as I already wrote, at a decent level. Like for TV.

How to control surfing the Internet from the TV?

Can be controlled from the remote remote control which was included. But, it's not very convenient. Then I remembered surfing the Internet from the usual mobile phone, which with buttons (ah, nostalgia 🙂). Control the TV browser with the remote, it's about the same.

It is best, of course, to connect a keyboard and mouse to the TV. Better yet, a wireless keyboard and mouse. Such management will be the most convenient. If these devices are not available, then you can control the TV browser from your phone or tablet. Which works on Andriod, or iOS.

And yet, you can buy a branded LG Magic Remote. From which to manage the browsing of sites, it will be very convenient. At least that's how it seems to me 🙂 . The last two methods are only suitable for LG TVs.

Connecting the TV to the Internet

It is clear that in order to view sites through Smart TV, the TV itself must be connected to the Internet. It can be via cable, or via Wi-Fi, if possible. I wrote more about the connection in separate articles:

If everything is fine with the connection, then you can proceed to launching the browser and visiting sites.

We visit sites from LG TV (Smart TV)

First, go to Smart TV (by pressing a special, blue button on the remote control). Then, at the bottom, select and launch the browser” Internet“.

Please note that on home page Smart TV, the icon that displays the status of the Internet connection, should be green. This means that the Internet is working, and you can continue.

After launching the browser, you can immediately click on the address bar, and using the keyboard, enter the address of the site you want to visit. Or, enter a search query. To confirm the transition to the address, press the button go on the virtual keyboard, or using the cursor, select one of the options that pop up from the bottom.

A site will open, or search results that you can view, follow links, etc. Everything is like on a computer.

In the lower right corner, it will display “ Mini TV“. You can browse websites and watch TV at the same time. If this window bothers you, you can close it. Hover over it and click on the cross that appears. To return “Mini TV”, press the button in the form of a TV on the top control panel.

You can open many tabs at the same time. Just click on the green cross to open another tab. In this tab, by default, a panel opens, which displays thumbnails of the pages of the most visited sites. A bit higher (below the address bar), the tabbed panel is displayed.

When you open a site and want to bookmark it, just click on the corresponding button, which I showed in the screenshot below.

In order to open browser settings, history, bookmark manager and help, just click on the appropriate button and select the desired item. Also, you can turn on the view in full screen, zoom in, and close the browser.

In the settings, you can choose the start page, the default search engine, enable the bookmarks bar always, disable Flash, etc.

I just want to give you one piece of advice. I have already met articles on the Internet several times that in Smart TV, though on Samsung TVs, a vulnerability has been discovered. The data that was entered on the TV could get to intruders. I now have to enter passwords to various sites, and even worse, payment data.

I hope this vulnerability has been fixed now. But, do not forget that Smart TV on any TV is a new and still a little raw technology. So, for now, it’s better not to pay for various services through the TV, and not to enter your payment details. For this, it is better to use a computer.

How to access the Internet from an LG Smart TV? Browsing websites on TV updated: February 7, 2018 by: admin

Hello dear friends! Time flies very quickly, and new models of TVs are constantly appearing on the shelves of equipment stores. And if you have recently purchased an LCD TV, then you have probably heard that Wi-Fi can be connected to it. Indeed, there is such a possibility. In general, it is worth admitting that the idea of ​​​​writing today's article was suggested to me by my neighbor, who actually turned to me with a request to help connect his TV to global network The Internet, because it is completely far from such things.

In general, we can say that we successfully connected the TV with him, although there was one nuance due to which some difficulties arose during the connections, but in general the procedure is not so complicated as it seems at first glance. Therefore, in this article I will tell you in detail how to connect a TV to the Internet via a wifi router, you will also learn how this process goes in general and what you need to connect it. We will also consider the types of Internet connections for modern TVs. You definitely need to know this so that you have in mind in advance whether it is possible to connect the TV to the global web or not, for example, when buying it.

From the title of today's article, it is clear that a router must be installed in your house or apartment. I already talked about the router in my previous articles, you can look at these articles:

or read this post

If this step is not completed, then you can try to connect the cable to the TV, but this is a topic for another article.

I will show the analysis of the procedure for connecting the Internet to a TV through a wifi router using LG as an example. Be sure that the process is identical for other popular brands - Samsung, Toshiba, Phillips, Sony, etc.

How to connect the TV to the Internet through a wifi router?

So, all modern TVs can be divided into several categories:

1. Models with built-in Wi-Fi. This the best option, since the module is already in the design, that is, you do not need to install additional equipment. On such a TV, connecting to the Internet takes no more than 10 minutes.

2. TV with Wi-Fi adapter connection support. Initially, such TVs cannot connect to a router, but you can buy a separate adapter for them. After that, you will be able to use the wireless connection. Keep in mind that different adapters are available for each model. That is why it is important to carefully study the instructions. Adapters look like this:

TVs without Wi-Fi, but with a wall socket. Older models do not support an external adapter, and there is no built-in module in such TVs. You may find a connector for connecting a cable. Then you can implement the following scheme: connect the TV to a second router that operates in client mode. There is also an alternative option, which involves connecting a cable to a LAN adapter, which can receive Internet via Wi-Fi and distribute it via cable.

I won’t talk about models without a LAN connector and Wi-Fi, although there are some craftsmen who connect the Internet to a TV with an HDMI connector. In this manual, we will consider the option with a TV, where a Wi-Fi module is initially present. I repeat once again that the material will be useful for those who already have a USB adapter.

Important! If you have not yet chosen the right TV for yourself, then when buying, check that the TV has a Smart TV function. With it, using the Internet will be even more convenient, and the built-in Wi-Fi module is definitely taken into account there.

What do you need to connect your TV to the Internet?

We just have to get ready. The main component is a TV with a built-in Wi-Fi adapter or an external USB receiver. If you have the second option, then connect the adapter to the TV in advance. Next, you need to check if the router is working. The device model in this case is not important - it must be working.

If you don't have a router, then maybe open access there are Wi-Fi networks without a password. Sometimes it is impossible to connect to them due to the fact that filtering by MAC address is set. That is why it is recommended that you have your own router and access to its settings. Then, if necessary, you can make changes. Everything is ready, then we proceed to the connection process!

How to connect a TV to the Internet through a wifi router: step by step instructions!

When we turn on the TV for the first time, it itself offers us to connect to the Internet. Moreover, the system provides a choice - to do it via cable or via Wi-Fi. Most likely, you ignored this item at the first start, so I will show you how to connect the Internet through the settings. Also, you might not have seen this menu, which means that the TV was turned on without you or even in the store.

We start the TV and open the settings - press the "Settings" button on the remote control.

In the menu that opens, you need to find the “Network” tab, then go to the “Network connection” section. If you have an English version of the menu, then follow the example from the screenshots:

After that, the system will show us a small instruction, I recommend that you read it. After that, click on the "Set up connection" button.

The TV will automatically start searching for available networks and give you the result. In my case, there are two connections available. If you need to enter data for the connection yourself, then select "Manual setup". Here you may have a question, and in what cases such a function may be needed? You need to connect using WPS technology, drive in a static IP address, or connect with a hidden SSID.

Using the virtual keyboard, specify the password, if present. Confirm the entry with the "OK" button. If the password was entered correctly. Then you will see a message stating that you have successfully connected to the Internet. Click "Finish" and move on. Perhaps the system will prompt you to enter DNS and IP, I recommend leaving all indicators on "Automatic" and clicking "Finish". As the reviews of owners of TVs of other brands show, sometimes the system issues a network card - it makes no sense to describe this process, since it does not affect the operation of the wireless connection in any way.

Great, now all the functions of Smart TV are available to you. The screenshot below shows the icon responsible for turning on Smart TV. Also at the top of the screen you can find out if your computer is connected to the wireless Internet.

Possible problems when trying to connect the TV to the Internet through a wifi router

Sometimes when trying to connect to the wireless Internet, errors pop up. They can be corrected as follows:

Disconnect the TV from the network and reconnect it. This is the easiest way, but sometimes it helps to solve difficult problems.

Did not work out? Then you should try resetting Smart Hub settings. We go into this section and go to the "Tools". You will find such a button on the remote control. Next, we need to go to "Settings" and click on the "Reset" button. The TV may ask you to enter the PIN code "0000". Next, you will need to agree to the terms, after which the reinstallation will begin.

If this does not help, then you should try updating all the TV software. You will find this feature in "Support". The system will prompt you to update over the network, but in some cases this cannot be done, because you cannot connect to the Internet. In this case, you need to download the software on the Internet on a computer, and then transfer it to the TV using a USB flash drive. I also suggest you watch the following video:

Well, dear friends, that's actually all that I wanted to tell you today in this article. Concluding today's article - how to connect a TV to the Internet through a wifi router, it will be necessary to note that the process is quite quick and simple. If you have a TV from another manufacturer at home, then I think that you will quickly get used to it with the help of my instructions. Do not forget to write questions in the comments if you encounter any difficulty when setting up a wireless Internet connection. Let's search together possible problems connecting the TV to the Internet.

I will also add that I checked the operation of Smart TV on the TP-Link TL-WR841N router. In addition to the TV, 5 more devices were connected to the router. Real speed was about 2 Mb/s. This indicator was enough for me to fully use the functions of Smart TV. As an example, I can say that I watched YouTube videos in HD format, and there were no noticeable slowdowns in speed.

The process of connecting television equipment to the World Wide Web does not require special skills and experience, everyone can handle this work. In many ways, the procedure was simplified by equipment manufacturers who produce high-quality devices with a simple setup system and an intuitively accessible interface. It is very easy to figure out how to connect a TV to the Internet.

Smart TVs have a direct connection to the Internet, they are equipped with a special platform, as well as a wide range of pre-installed applications, including a browser. For example, models running on the Android operating system provide the ability to download software from Google Play.

How do TVs without Smart TV connect to the Internet? Even the most ordinary plasma TV can be connected to the Internet, for this you need to first purchase a special one. There are several ways to connect to the Internet, consider the main ones to find out which option is the most effective.

What will connect the TV to the Internet

Why waste your free time on this? The fact is that the availability of access to the World Wide Web opens up an extensive list of additional features for the user:

• playback of media content online;
• Internet surfing;
• video calls via Skype and various messengers;
• launching applications and video games;
• watching sports broadcasts, news, TV shows, etc.

As you can see, connecting an LG TV to the Internet or a device from another manufacturer is definitely worth it. Since then you will be able to fully use the functionality of the technique. Naturally, you first need to choose a connection method, which will be discussed later.

If the TV does not connect to the Internet, while you exactly followed all the suggested instructions, then contact the specialists who are involved in the setup - they will solve the problem.

What you need to connect

In addition to TV, you will need the following:

• Internet connection;
• instructions for the TV;
• router;
• network cable (if the TV does not have Wi-Fi).

If you have all this, then you can use one of two available ways TV connection to the Internet. Let's consider them. The direct method is characterized by additional difficulties, since it involves connecting an Internet cable to an Ethernet connector - after all, it needs to be beautifully brought to the TV.

An alternative option is a wireless connection (Wi-Fi). Naturally, this method is considered simpler and more affordable. Cables will not get in the way.

Connection via cable

Of course, you can connect the Internet to the TV by simply inserting the cable into the appropriate connector. However, if you need to enter a login and password, as well as additional server data, then the web pages will not be loaded. All modern models television equipment have a network connection system that is almost similar to a computer, but there are still certain differences. Therefore, it is wiser to connect a router to the TV. How to connect a TV to the Internet via a modem?

Step-by-step instructions for connecting a TV to the Internet through a router:

1. Purchase and connect a router if it has not already been done.

1. Connect the Internet cable to the WAN connector on the router.

1. Next, you need to configure the router so that it connects to the Internet. This process depends on your ISP and router model. To do this, you need to connect to the router through a computer or laptop using another Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi. To open the settings panel, you usually need to enter the combination of numbers 192.168.1.1 (0.1.) in the address bar of the browser.

1. When the router is configured and the devices connected to it (computer, laptop, smartphone) access the Internet, you can start connecting the TV.

1. We take a network cable and connect one end to the TV's LAN connector, and the other to one of the free inputs on the router.

1. When a bidirectional patch cord is connected, the corresponding load indicator on the router will light up, which is responsible for the selected port.

1. When everything is done correctly, you can do the program setting of the TV.

1. We go to the main menu by pressing the corresponding button on the remote control (Menu or Keypad).

1. Open the "Network" section and select the "Network settings" subsection.

1. Select the connection mode, in our case "Connection via cable" or "LAN".

Actually, the connection process can be considered complete on this. It remains to wait until the automatic configuration of the direct connection is completed, and also click "OK".

Connecting via Wi-Fi

Wireless connection - best option. In principle, the algorithm for connecting a TV via a Wi-Fi adapter is the same as in the case of a cable. With the exception of a few important nuances:

• there is no need to pull an Ethernet cable from the router to the LAN port of the TV;
• during the software setup process, you must select the wireless connection of a Samsung, LG TV or a device from any other manufacturer.

Manufacturers of television equipment strongly recommend giving preference to this particular option. Why? Now let's find out.

Firstly, you can connect additional devices, such as a tablet or smartphone. Synchronization of equipment will make the process of use even more convenient and practical. Secondly, you do not have to pull the cable through the entire apartment or house. Thirdly, if the cable is not “compressed” correctly, failures may occur. In the case of a wireless connection, this is completely excluded.

How to connect the Internet on the TV via Wi-Fi if a username and password are set? Almost always, after setting up the television equipment and choosing the type of connection, a window appears on the screen in which you need to specify your login and password. It would seem, what is so difficult? But what if there is no remote control keyboard at hand? Although modern TVs will display the keyboard, and with the help of it it will be possible to enter data, it is not very convenient to do this.

To connect your Smart TV to the Internet via Wi-Fi, use WPS. The essence of this algorithm is to confirm the connection without a login and password. When the authorization window appears, press the thin button on the back of the router, it is called WPS. As a result, authorization will be confirmed without entering a password.

Connecting a TV without Smart TV

If you want to set up access to the World Wide Web on the most ordinary TV, then you may have certain problems. This applies not only to the implementation process, but also to additional financial costs. However, it is still possible to achieve results.

The best option is to buy a Smart set-top box, which has its own operating system. As a result, conventional TV become "smart". The cost of pumping depends on the box you choose.

Naturally, set-top boxes running on the Android OS are the most popular. First, they are low priced. Secondly, they are more familiar to the domestic user. A more expensive and high-quality solution is Apple TV.

As for the process of attaching the console, it is quite simple:

1. We connect the device to the network.
2. We connect the TV and TV box using an HDMI cable.
3. Press "Search" on the remote control external source» and select the connected device.
4. Set up a network connection.

The software configuration procedure directly depends on which set-top box the user chooses. They differ not only in hardware characteristics, but also in functionality, the number of pre-installed applications.

Using the prefix, connect to WiFi router. If you need to specify a username and password, then log in using the WPS button. Although entering data for authorization in the console is already much easier.

How to connect a TV to the Internet without a set-top box? Whether it's LG, Samsung or another, it doesn't matter. If you have no desire to spend money on the purchase of additional equipment - set-top boxes, then alternative options should be considered. For example, or a computer using HDMI.

The functionality will be the same as in the case of Smart TV, however, you will significantly save on financial costs, since the average cost of an HDMI cable is 150-250 rubles. It is no wonder that most users consider this way of connecting a regular TV to the Internet the most effective.
