TV will not connect to wireless network

Note the old one, so you can change it back if it doesn't make a difference. Otherwise, you'll have to change it in all your devices, even it it was no help. Passwords with character like %, #, " or ë might not work.

Also try (just for experiment!) totally no encryption at all (no WEB, no WPA, nothing).

Automatic IP-address should be fine.

And there might be a Mac-filtering in your router? Although I don't think so, if your guests' devices work.

Okay so i must really be a nice guy as it took me 1hr to join CNET to reply your question ...... ha ha

I currently own the Samsung UN60ES8000FXZA which is the big brother of yours ....... i was having the same issues with you (started from when i upgraded firmware to (ver.1035.2) a few days ago

I noticed the system would see my SSID but would not connect .... i tried everything to no avail, reset everything multiple times ... nothing worked

I called Samsung Support, rep sounded irritated all through and was of no help, she had me do a soft reset (under self diagnosis) ..... the issue with this is that it only resets the TV and not the network settings

Here is the solution ......... strong disclaimer too but it should reresh your network settings

You have to do a hard reset to the tv:

1. Turn off the Samsung TV.
2. Press "Mute," then "1," "8," "2" and "Power" on the remote. The service menu appears.
3. Choose "Factory Reset." The Samsung TV will be reset to its original, factory settings.

Ensure you do not touch any of the other settings when you are in this service menu except reset.

The TV will restart and just set it up all over !

Hello, just wanted to thank whoever posted that suggestion from Samsung.
I basically turned off the Samsung TV, pressed Mute, 1,8,2 and power.
I choosed "Factory Reset".
When I turned on the TV again it automatically recognized my Wireless Router.

It worked.

Thank you,
MGArt

this method worked for my samsung smart tv(7series)
1.try resetting the tv and modem.
2.check for latest updates for tv manually and if possible do the manual update.
3.connect the tv with router using lan cable.
4. open network settings and search for networks. enter the password.
5. open network settings and select network status.(it should show connected)
6. now disconnect the lan cable and check the network status.(it displayed connected for me)
best of luck

I was having the same problem. I finally contacted my router manufacturer. I have a D-Link DIR-880L. They told me to set the 2.4GHz channel to 1 instead of automatic. After rebooting the router the TV connected automatically after I selected my network.

Out of total frustration, this is what I did. I unplugged the TV, then held down the Power Button on TV and plugged in at the same time, hey what do ya know, then it worked!

Found elsewhere, and additional steps to get into the Engineering / Tech menu ...

My case, once in the Engineering menu, went to options -> Sub Options, and then found the region for wifi was set to S .. several places recommended trying A .. I did so, and this allowed the Samsung UN32EH5300 series to activate networking.

On my set, with power off .. on the Remote .. press Mute, then 1 -> 8 -> 2 ... then power on like normal and in less than 30 seconds you'll have the Engineer's Menu .. go to options -> sub options ... here be careful you have to arrow up/down to get to the item you want .. arrows left / right cause the the field item to change.

If your region code is S .. try A .. and try others. I couldn't find a list of what the codes were or why changing them worked ...

I have Comcast so when I called they instructed me to disconnect the coaxial cable from the TV as well as the power cord all while the tv is on..wait 30 seconds and then reconnect first, the coaxial cable, and then then the power cord. After, I went ahead and selected my wireless info from the menu, input the password and it was back. Mind you I had previously done a "soft reset" as suggested by others prior to calling them and getting this information. It may help to do a soft reset first and then following the above instructions.

I tried changing my password to something shorter and easier and the second i did that, the internet only on my Samsung tv didnt want to connect. I googled for like 2 weeks straight and none of the solutions worked for me.
So in the end I decided to switch the “IP settings AND DNS Settings” back to “Obtain Automatically” (in IP settings on the tv)
Then I went to the Configuration site that is on the back of your router (http:// something something) and turned on the GUEST Wifi option. Gave that a new password and VOILA! Finally after a good few weeks of trying to figure this issue out.
Everyone on google had the same answers and nothing worked for me. Hope this helped someone!

Ok, after many phone calls with Samsung reps located in the Dominican Republic, I was finally able to get to a maintenance tech. He came to the house with a new commo board, but when he tried the old one first and he immediately connected. I was dumb founded. I asked him to take the unit off line and let me try. When I did, I could not connect. (i was typing the letters/number on the on screen key board) He merely tried to hide his smile and explained to me that when check mark appears on the letter, you must wait for the checkmark to disappear, then click the letter you wanted, otherwise it puts in the checkmark. The check marks usually show up after six letters. tried it a bunch of times, and I am up and running, every time.
