If your Samsung Smart TV WiFi is not connecting, showing “WiFi connected but no internet access”, or WiFi not showing at all, don’t worry—this is a very common issue and can be fixed easily. Most of the time, the problem is caused by incorrect settings, network glitches, or router compatibility issues. In this guide, you’ll learn simple and effective methods to fix all Samsung Smart TV WiFi problems step by step.
Method 1: Set Correct Date & Time
Incorrect date and time can block internet connection even when WiFi is connected.
Open Settings on your Samsung TV, go to General, select System Manager, open Time, choose Clock, set it to Auto, or manually set the correct date and time according to your region, then restart your TV and check WiFi again.
Method 2: Soft Reset Your TV
A soft reset refreshes the system and fixes temporary glitches.
Press and hold the Power button on your TV remote, keep holding until the TV turns off and restarts automatically, once the TV turns back on release the power button, now reconnect to WiFi and check if the issue is fixed.
Method 3: Check 2.4GHz or 5GHz Support
Some Samsung TVs do not support 5GHz WiFi networks.
Check your WiFi router band, if your TV does not detect WiFi or fails to connect, switch your router to 2.4GHz, or enable both 2.4GHz + 5GHz dual band, then try connecting again from your TV network settings.
Method 4: Change DNS Server (8.8.8.8)
Changing DNS can fix “connected but no internet” errors.
Open Settings, go to General, select Network, open Network Status, choose IP Settings, set DNS Setting to Enter Manually, enter 8.8.8.8, press OK and reconnect your WiFi.
Method 5: Reset Network Settings
This will clear all saved WiFi networks and fix major connection issues.
Open Settings, go to General, select Network, choose Reset Network, confirm the reset, after that reconnect to your WiFi network by entering the password again.
