Tv will not connect to internet

Since you didn't give the model number or connection type (wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi), I'll start with the Ethernet setup, and I'm assuming you have not previously had the TV connected to the Internet.

First, disconnect power to the TV and the router. Power up the router first, and wait for it to establish its connection to the modem. Then connect the TV and turn it on, then test the connection. If that doesn't work, proceed to the next step below.

Review the Owner's Manual section on setting up the Internet connection. Check your router setup and make sure the TV is using the correct method for making connections to it, and that the router is not blocking the TV as an unauthorized device. By default, home routers are set up to use DHCP to automatically give IP addresses to anything connected, but many models permit setting them to block everything except devices specifically given permission. It is also possible to set up the router to use manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP; this would mean you have to give the TV an IP address in the same net as the router (the first three numbers in the set are the same, but the last must be between 0 and 255 and not the same as any other connected device. If the router locks out everything except specifically permitted devices, you will need to log into the router and add the TV's MAC address to the list of permitted devices (the MAC address should be on a label on the back of the TV).

If your TV uses Wi-Fi to make the Internet connection, first verify that you have adequate signal strength at the back of the TV (use a laptop computer or other device with a signal strength indicator if the TV itself does not display it in the Wi-Fi setup menu). Next, verify that the TV is using the same security protocol as the router, and that the password is correct. (Note: if you have a wireless router, it's always a good idea to make sure security is on and is not using the factory default password. This prevents freeloaders from stealing bandwidth and slowing down your connection, hacking your devices, or using your Internet connection for other ******* activity.)

K Spare . Check network settings on TV . ip address
How does Tv get ip address?
. Do you have a DHCP server on your router ?
If yes then set the network setting on TV to obtain IP address Automatically.
If WI FI being used on TV then set up Encryption WEP or WPA encryption Key as well.

That appears to be a TV model number - there will be no IP address ever - it is not a network device.

Just switch the TV off.

If the TV's IP set-up page is set for DHCP, then the router will give out a new IP address each time it sees the TV. The actual number may be the same, but that's only because the router dishes out IP addresses on a first-come, first-served basis. So if the router sees the TV as the 6th thing it connects, then the IP address will end 7 most probably. It's the same number, but the lease for that number is renewed.

192.168.1.1

You might be out of IPs in the router. There's a setting where you can allow a set amount of IPs (like 5 or 10 devices). If the IP is 169.x.x.x it means the TV didn't get an IP and the laptop working means that it already has an IP designated in the router.

Anyway, go into the router settings and look for the "IP scope" and increase it by 5-10 and save it, then try again.
Usually home routers have a default setting and all devices get a similar IP (wireless and wired alike), so I would venture to guess that you are out of them, what with cell phones, laptops, tablets etc.

To have an IP address, your TV must be connected to a home network or the internet...Is your TV a internet-enabled TV?Then there are three ways..
a) On the TV, go to network settings
b) From your router, check the DHCP table of the clients, if your TV is connected to your network, its IP should be listed.
c) Visit IP-details.com and get the IP.

Find your computer's IP address : Windows 7, Vista, and XP, using the command prompt

1. Click Start, and then select All Programs. Note: If this doesn't match what you see, refer to About navigation settings in Windows.
   
2. Click Accessories, and then Command Prompt.
   
   
3. At the command prompt, enter: ipconfig The IP address (or IPv4 address, if you are using Windows 7 or Vista) will be a series of numbers following the pattern xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (i.e., 156.56.27.32).
   

Note: If you are using PPP with a modem at home, your IP address will change each time you log in.
Windows 7, without using the command prompt

1. In the system tray, click the network connection icon and select Open Network and Sharing Center.
   
   
2. To view the IP address of a wired connection, click Local Area Connection. To view the IP address of a wireless adapter, click Wireless Network Connection (Network Name).
   
3. Click Details... . Your IP address will appear next to "IPv4 Address".

Windows Vista, without using the command prompt

1. From the Start menu, right-click Network, and then select Properties. This opens the Network and Sharing Center.
   
   
2. To view the IP address of a wired connection, click View Status to the right of Local Area Connection. To view the IP address of a wireless adapter, click View Status to the right of Wireless Network Connection.
   
3. Click Details... . Look for the address next to "IPv4 IP Address".

Windows XP, without using the command prompt

1. From the Start menu, right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties.
   
   
2. To view the IP address of a wired connection, double-click Local Area Connection. To view the IP address of a wireless adapter, double-click Wireless Network Connection.
   
3. Click the Support tab, and then click Details... . The window that appears will display the IP address.

Your IP address has to be in the 192.168.123.xxx range

The router must be configured to match your

Internet service. If you do not know your

Internet connection configuration, please

contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

By default, the router is pre-configured with

these settings:

• Automatically set IP addresses for

computers on your LAN (connected to the

router's ports 1-4). The router acts as a

server for dynamic host configuration

protocol (DHCP) and assigns IP addresses

in the range 192.168.123.100 through

192.168.123.199

• The default LAN IP address for the router is

192.168.123.254 with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0

• The Internet service connected to the
router's WAN port uses a dynamic IP

No. Each device connected to a network must have a unique address so that data can be properly routed. If you want to share an Internet connection among several computers, you need a router. The router provides a single IP address connection to your service provider on one side. Then each computer connected to the router, wired or wireless, gets its own internal IP address from the router. As data comes over the Internet, the router takes care of getting it to the proper computer.
