The Internet on the router is working (check on your phone/laptop)|

The router is not overloaded (disconnect unnecessary devices)|

The TV is within the Wi-Fi coverage area (no further than 10 m from the router)|

The router is set to 2.4 GHz broadcast mode (5 GHz may not be supported)|

Wi-Fi password is known and written down (case sensitive!) -->

Pay special attention frequency range. Many models Atoll, especially budget ones (for example, series Atoll 24L510S or Atoll 32T510S), work only in the range 2.4 GHzIf your router broadcasts simultaneously on 2.4 and 5 GHz under the same network name (function Smart Connect), the TV may freeze when selecting a channel. In this case, temporarily disable the 5 GHz band in your router settings or create a separate network for 2.4 GHz.

One more nuance - regional settingsIn some countries (such as Russia), certain Wi-Fi channels (e.g., 12-14) may be blocked by default. If your TV doesn't detect your network, try manually setting a channel between 1 and 11 in your router settings.

⚠️ Warning: If you use guest network on the router, make sure it is not isolated from local devices. Some TVs Atoll require local network access for DLNA or screen mirroring to work.

2. Standard connection via the TV menu

This is the most common method that works on all models. Atoll — from old ones with proprietary firmware to new ones Android TVThe instructions may differ slightly depending on the software version, but the general outline is the same:
