What to Do if Insignia TV Won’t Still Connect to Wi-Fi
Even after following the above steps you haven’t managed to connect your Insignia TV to the Wi-Fi, there could be various regions why it is refusing to do so. Here are some possible solutions that will help you in fixing the Wi-Fi problem so that you can take full advantage of your TV.
1. Restart Your Insignia TV and the Router
There could be a minor bug present inside the television which is refusing to connect with the Wi-Fi network. To rule out this possibility, restart the television and check if the problem is fixed. To perform this, simply unplug it from the wall socket, wait for 1-2 minutes, and plugin it back again.
Your router could be having an issue, which generally gets fixed with a simple reboot. You can use the button on the router or use the unplug-plug method to reboot the device.
2. Improve Wi-Fi Signal Strength
Your Insignia TV might be having a hard time finding a strong signal due to some obstructions present between the two devices. Make sure that your TV and the router are not far from each other and there’s a proper free space in between. Upon getting a strong Wi-Fi signal, your TV would be able to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
3. Check Password
Although it might sound nothing to you, many people often does the mistake of typing the wrong password. While typing the password, keep in mind that you are not using the old password. Also, carefully type the uppercase and lowercase characters.
4. Check Router Settings
Your router might have set a limited number of connections. So, if the set number is already reached, the router won’t accept a new device. To double-check this setting, go to the router configuration page and check the maximum number of allowed connections. You can type 192.168.0.1 and hit enter on the device connected to the Wi-Fi network to access the router settings. If it does not work, use the router’s IP address which you can find at the bottom of the device.
5. Update TV Software
Your Insignia TV might be running an outdated software version. The brand releases new updates that include fixes to all the known issues. So, updating your TV software might fix the Wi-Fi problem.
Although the software update usually happens automatically, your device won’t update itself automatically if it has not been operational for a while. Here’s how you can manually install the latest update:
- Press the Home button and locate Settings.
- Select System.
- Open System update tab.
- Tap on the Check Now option. Your TV will now look for new updates. If there’s any, it will automatically start downloading and after that, the installation process will begin.
