| Ultra Tv -- not able to get online with new Smart TV?? I am using the ultra TV gateway as my router, we just purchased a smart TV--went through the wireless connect screen-entered password, ect. connection has failed. I cycled the gateway, still not able to connect. I have never had any other issued connecting devices to my wireless network.
Any thoughts??
TIA!! |

kudos:3 | I never had issues connecting my Vizios wirelessly and accessing YouTube and NetFlix. Or my iPhone on WiFi.
Signal strength, or mistyped password perhaps? |

thanks for the info. I did a ton of TV troubleshooting today with no luck....signal strength could be a reason, but all other wireless devices work fine in that room? Is that still possible?? |

I'm hoping someone might have a thought.
What TV are you using?
Maybe you can prove it connects on a wired connection? |

if I were you, I would try changing the wow gateway wireless encryption type to either wpa2-personal, or even try disabling it temporarily to rule out authentication. perhaps the tv doesn't support whatever you're using.
after that, i'd make sure you're using 20mhz channel width, also try setting a static channel like 1 or 11 then trying again. |

thanks for the suggestions! The gateway might be too far to me to try a wired connection--I will have to try and move it to another cable outlet closer to the TV.
I tried changing the security on the router and also making it an open network....no luck....this should be much easier---not so much a "smart TV" is it?? any other suggestions?? |

OK-so my cable was able to reach---connects fine to internet hardwired---where do I go from here? |

Sure sounds like the TV's WiFi at fault  |

The ultratv wireless is really, really bad. Are you using 2.4 ghz? Did you try checking the wireless network advanced properties to make sure channel bonding is disabled? I don't remember the rest of the config options because I ditched it myself.
Can you look in the tv documentation for any details about the wireless compatability? Maybe you need to force your router to G or N only and see if that helps. |

Do you happen to have a smart phone?
If you do see if their is an app that will let you see what wifi signals are available and their strength for android »play.google.com/store/apps/detai···er&hl=en
With this you can check the wifi strength and see if thats and issue. I had an issue with stable connections to my linksys router and found I had 4 neighbours with strong signals in range and all were on the same channel. I changed the channel on mine and got a stable connection. |
