TV WiFi keeps disconnecting or dropping every few minutes
Move the TV closer to the router, restart the router, or forget the WiFi network and reconnect. These fix most disconnection problems.
WiFi disconnections are caused by weak signal, too many devices on WiFi, or router problems. Moving the TV closer or restarting the router fixes the issue.

⚡ Before you start
- ✓How far is the TV from the WiFi router? Optimal is under 15 feet; if 30+ feet, move TV or use extender
- ✓Are there other WiFi networks visible on your phone's WiFi list? High interference from neighbors' networks is common
- ✓Check how many devices are currently connected to your WiFi (phones, computers, smart home devices). Too many can cause drops
