Fixing a Toshiba TV That Won’t Connect To WiFi

Your Toshiba TV may not connect to WiFi because the connection is not routed properly, the password is incorrect, the cables need to be replaced, or the TV/Router needs to be reset. 

If your TV is not connecting to WiFi, you can try to:

  • Guarantee the WiFi signal is reaching and is not obstructed.Double-check all of the appropriate cables are plugged in and operational.Replace cables to ensure they are working.Use a new outlet or power surge for cables to test if they are in working order.Investigate router and modem to see if there is any visible damage.Check that the power button and hardware are working or damage-free.Make sure the password to your router and the WiFi are the same and you are entering it correctly.

It can be pretty strange to have your TV connected to WiFi while simultaneously not actually having access to the internet. This problem is one of the most common and easy to fix issues with your Toshiba TV. 

TV is Connected to WiFi With no Internet Access

If your Toshiba TV is connected to WiFi but does not have internet access, make sure that the signal from your router is reaching your TV. Your router may be too far from the TV and can only establish a very basic connection, not provide internet access.

The proper distance between your router and your TV varies greatly on the devices you use and your internet provider. A good rule of thumb is 10 to 15 feet. Any more than that, including floor levels and walls, will block the signal.

Password Issues

The error message, “WiFi password is incorrect” is also a popular issue to come across with setting up a new device or connection. 

To resolve the error message “WiFi password is incorrect” on your Toshiba TV, make sure the password you are entering is exactly the same password that is saved for your WiFi account. If it isn’t, or if still does not work, then update your WiFi password through your internet provider. 

To update your WiFi password through your internet provider, you can either access your services online or call in and request help with updating your WiFi password. It is usually not the Toshiba TV’s “fault” that the WiFi password is not correct.

Now that we have verified or updated the WiFi password and made sure our WiFi signal was not blocked, let’s quickly look at other options besides a WiFi connection in case you need it.
