Smart TV stuck during initial setup
Your TV setup can be frozen or waiting for something. Try unplugging the TV for 10 seconds, then plug it back in to restart the setup from scratch. If it gets stuck on WiFi, make sure you have a strong WiFi signal and the password is correct.
TV setup can get stuck if the WiFi connection is weak, a password is wrong, a download is slow, or the TV froze. We'll restart the setup, check your WiFi, and make sure everything is set up correctly.
