Wi-Fi authorization on the Lastochka TV: complete instructions from connection to troubleshooting

Televisions Martin (produced under the brand BBK) remain popular due to their affordable price and extensive functionality, including Smart TV support. However, many users encounter difficulties when setting up a wireless connection for the first time, especially when it comes to logging into a Wi-Fi network with non-standard security settings. Unlike modern models, Samsung or LG, where the process is maximally automated, televisions Martin require manual data entry, which often leads to errors.

In this article you will find step-by-step instructions for all firmware versions, including older models based on Android 5.1/7.1 and new devices with Android TV 9/10We'll cover not only standard connections via WPS or a password, but also rare cases—for example, authorization in corporate networks with 802.1X, as well as solving problems with "gray" authorization screens. Special attention is paid hidden setting for Wi-Fi priority over Ethernet, which is not included in the official documentation, but is critical for the stable operation of Smart applications.

1. Preparing for connection: what you need to check before authorization

Before you start setting up Wi-Fi on your TV Martin, make sure that the problem does not lie in external factors. 30% of requests Support calls are related to router malfunctions or incorrect network settings, not to the TV itself.

Here is a checklist of parameters to check. in advance:

• 📶 Router signal: the TV must be in a strong reception area (signal level not lower than -65 dBm). Use the app Wi-Fi Analyzer on your smartphone to check.
• 🔒 Security type: Martin supports WPA2-PSK (AES) And WPA3, but may not connect to networks with WEP or mixed mode WPA/WPA2.
• 🔄 Wi-Fi channel: Avoid automatic channel selection on your router - set it manually 1, 6 or 11 for the 2.4 GHz range (this will reduce interference).
• 📡 Router operating mode: disable the function 802.11r (Fast Roaming) - it conflicts with Wi-Fi drivers in TVs BBK.

-->

If your router uses double range (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz), we recommend temporarily disabling the 5 GHz network during setup. TVs Martin Older than 2019 models often freeze when scanning two bands simultaneously. Also, make sure that in your router settings disabled mode 802.11n Only - it can cause problems with connecting devices based on Realtek chipsets (used in most models BBK).

⚠️ Attention: If your TV has previously connected to a different Wi-Fi network, Be sure to delete old profiles on the menu Settings → Network → Manage networksThe accumulation of "junk" connections can block new authorization.

2. Standard connection: step-by-step instructions for all models

Wi-Fi authorization process on TVs Martin Depends on the firmware version and interface. Below is a general instruction suitable for 90% of models (including BBK 32LS6125, 43LS7105, 50LS8105 and others).

Step 1: Enter the Network Settings Menu

Use the remote control to do the following:

1. Click the button Menu (or Home on new models).
2. Select a section Settings (gear icon).
3. Go to Network → Network Settings.
4. Select Wi-Fi (If this option is missing, your model only supports Ethernet).

Step 2: Scan and select a network

Once the Wi-Fi adapter is activated, the TV will begin scanning for available networks. This process may take up to 30 seconds — don't interrupt it. If the list of networks doesn't appear:

• 🔄 Click Refresh (button with a circular arrow).
• 📵 Make sure that the “Hide SSID” mode is not activated on your router — Martin does not support connecting to hidden networks without manual input.

Step 3: Network Authorization

Select your network from the list and enter the password. There are a few things to consider:

• 🔐 The password is case-sensitive! If you're copying it from your phone, make sure it doesn't include any spaces.
• 📱 On the screen with a keyboard, use the buttons ←/→ on the remote control to move the cursor.
• ⚙️ If an error appears after entering the password "Unable to connect", try changing the router's security type to WPA2-PSK [AES] (without TKIP).

After successful authorization, the TV should receive an IP address (this will take up to 1 minute). If a message appears on the screen "Connected, no internet access", check:

• 🌐 DHCP settings on the router (must be enabled).
• 🔌 No MAC address filtering for the device BBK.
• 📡 Channel congestion (try reconnecting at night when the network is less busy).

3. Alternative authorization methods

If the standard method doesn't work, try one of the alternative options. These are especially useful for older models or networks with non-standard settings.

Method 1: Connecting via WPS

Function WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows you to connect to a network without entering a password. To do this:

1. Activate the WPS mode on your router (usually a button with a lock or inscription WPS).
2. On your TV, select Wi-Fi from the menu Connecting via WPS.
3. Wait for synchronization (up to 2 minutes).

⚠️ Limitation: WPS only works with routers that support this protocol. On newer models ASUS or TP-Link WPS is often disabled by default due to security vulnerabilities.

Method 2: Manually adding a network (for hidden SSIDs)

If your network is hidden, follow these steps:

1. In the Wi-Fi menu, select Add a network manually.
2. Enter the network name (SSID) exactly, including the register.
3. Select the security type (WPA2-PSK for most cases).
4. Enter your password and save your settings.

Method 3: Authorization via Ethernet (if Wi-Fi does not work)

If Wi-Fi stubbornly won't connect, but you can use a cable:

• Connect your TV to your router via LAN port.
• Go to Settings → Network → Connection Type.
• Select Wired network and wait until you receive the IP.
• After this, try connecting to Wi-Fi again - sometimes the "unlock" occurs after a successful network connection by any method.

4. Common mistakes and their solutions

Even if the password is entered correctly, the TVs Martin may return authorization errors. Below is a table of the most common issues and how to resolve them.

If none of the solutions helped, try reset network settings on TV:

1. Go to Settings → Support → Reset.
2. Select Reset network settings.
3. Confirm the action and repeat authorization.

⚠️ Attention: On models BBK with firmware Android 5.1 a network reset may cause a reset everyone Smart settings, including app accounts. Before the procedure, write down the login and password for key services (e.g., YouTube or OKKO).

5. Setting Wi-Fi priority over Ethernet (hidden function)

Many users don't know what's in their TVs Martin by default Ethernet takes priority over Wi-Fi. This means that if a cable is connected to the TV, the wireless network will be ignored—even if you've successfully logged in. To change this behavior:

1. Connect to your TV via ADB (instructions below).
2. Run the command:

   settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0

3. Restart your TV through the menu Settings → Power Saving → Restart.

After this, Wi-Fi will be used Always, even with a cable connected. This setting is especially useful if you use Ethernet for IPTV and Wi-Fi for Smart apps.

6. Authorization in public and corporate networks

Televisions Martin poorly adapted to work in networks with additional authorization (For example, in hotels, universities, or offices where you need to enter your login/password in the browser after connecting to Wi-Fi). In such cases:

Option 1: Using an external device

If the network requires authorization through a web portal:

• Connect to TV Android set-top box (For example, Xiaomi Mi Box) or Amazon Fire Stick.
• Log in via the set-top box and the TV will have access to the network as a secondary device.

Option 2: Setting up a proxy (for advanced users)

Some corporate networks use proxy servers. To connect:

1. Find out the proxy address and port from your network administrator.
2. In your TV's Wi-Fi settings, select Advanced → Proxy settings.
3. Please enter proxy details in the format IP:port.

⚠️ Attention: In networks with 802.1X (For example, eduroam) televisions Martin will not be able to log in without additional equipment. In this case, use router in client mode (For example, TP-Link TL-WR802N), which will “transmit” the authorized signal to TV.

7. Optimize Wi-Fi for stable Smart TV operation

Successful authorization is only half the battle. To avoid lags while browsing YouTube or KION, configure the network according to the following recommendations:

• 📊 Limit your bandwidth for other devices in the router (for example, through QoS). It's enough for TV 10-15 Mbps for Full HD.
• 🔄 Turn off automatic updates applications in settings Google Play on TV.
• 📡 Use 5 GHz (if the TV supports it) - there is less interference, but the signal passes through walls worse.
• 🔌 Connect the router and TV to the UPS - Even a short power outage can reset authorization.

To check the connection quality:

1. Install the application on your TV Analiti (available in Google Play for Android TV).
2. Run a speed test - if the ping is higher 100 ms, and the speed is lower 5 Mbps, optimize your router settings.

8. Reset and reflashing in case of critical errors

If the TV Martin stubbornly refuses to log in to Wi-Fi, despite all manipulations, perhaps the problem lies in firmware or a hardware failure of the Wi-Fi module. In this case:

Step 1: Hard Reset

Restore factory settings, including network parameters:

1. Unplug the TV.
2. Press and hold the button Menu on the remote control + button Power on the TV panel.
3. Hold for 10-15 seconds until the logo appears BBK.
4. Release the buttons and wait for the reboot.

Step 2: Flashing via USB

If resetting doesn't help, update the firmware manually:

1. Download the latest firmware for your model from official website of BBK.
2. Unzip the archive and copy the file update.zip to a flash drive (format FAT32).
3. Insert the flash drive into the USB port of the TV.
4. Go to Settings → Software Update → Local Update.

⚠️ Attention: Do not remove the flash drive or turn off the TV during the firmware update! Interrupting the process may result in complete loss of functionality Wi-Fi module. If the TV does not turn on after the update, contact a service center (independent repair is not possible in this case).
