TEH BUTCHER Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Every other device on my network connects just fine. Phones, printers, laptops, etc but my smart TV won't connect. The TV sees the network when searching but says it's unable to connect. Can anyone think of any router settings that would potentially allow every other device to connect but not a smart TV?

Dillinger Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I can't, but in reading this, it may be helpful if you give us the name of the TV or a link to it in case it has some new spec "the royal we" haven't seen. Does it have a hard wired option? I just hard wired mine as I never run multiple gaming systems at the same time anyways and the Wifi is fine for most of our in home needs.

TEH BUTCHER Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Sharp LC-52LE860U I haven't wired it due to the location. That's always the best option I know but it should at least be able to connect wirelessly. It sees the network just has an issue actually connecting. All other devices connect fine. Also curious isn't WPA-PSK2 the best security option? The router defaulted to WPA-PSK should I change that as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was reading the specs and it says it has an Ethernet input, have you tried that yet to make sure it can connect? https://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTV/Archives/LC52LE640U.aspx?tech_specs=1 (last one under inputs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asentrix Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Had the same sort of issue , when you see the connection on your tv , is there an 'advanced' option?If you see the advanced option , you will be able to enter the routers information manually. Sometimes when attempting to automatically connect from smart devices ie; phones , smart tv's , touch-pads etc , it doesn't configure correctly.Let me know how you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEH BUTCHER Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well I changed my security from WPA to WPA2 and it allowed it to connect. WTF that makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF that makes no sense. Completely different types of algorithms , generally only older devices support WPA , good to hear you resolved it though!

Gotcha, thanks for the info weird that the router defaulted to WPA probably something they should change in the factory settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
