1. What are the router requirements for stable TV reception via Wi-Fi?

Before setting up your TV, make sure your router meets the minimum requirements for streaming. IPTV and online channels impose more stringent network requirements than regular internet surfing. Here are the key parameters:

  • 📶 Wi-Fi standard: not lower 802.11n (better 802.11ac or Wi-Fi 6). Old routers with 802.11g won't handle Full HD without lag.
  • 🔄 Dual-band operation: support 5 GHz (less loaded, more stable for video). If the router only 2.4 GHz, be prepared for occasional freezes.
  • 📦 Internet speed: minimum 25 Mbps for SD quality, 50+ Mbps for Full HD. You can check it on the website. Speedtest.
  • 🔗 Number of connected devices: If 10+ gadgets are connected to the router simultaneously, the TV may not have enough bandwidth.

Please pay special attention to Wi-Fi channel. In the range 2.4 GHz Interference from neighboring networks often occurs. It's best to manually select a channel (for example, 1, 6, or 11) through your router settings. 5 GHz There is less interference, but the signal penetrates walls worse.

⚠️ Attention: If your router is older than 5 years, it may not support modern video codecs (e.g. H.265), which can cause some channels to drop out even with high internet speeds. In this case, the only solution is to replace the router.
Router parameter Minimum requirement Recommended value
Wi-Fi standard 802.11n 802.11ac or Wi-Fi 6
Range 2.4 GHz 5 GHz (or dual-band)
LAN port speed 100 Mbps 1 Gbps
MU-MIMO support Not necessarily Desirable (for multiple devices)

Problem Possible cause Solution
Channels take a long time to load Slow internet speed Check the speed on Speedtest, contact the provider
The video is "torn" Wi-Fi network interference Change the channel on your router to 5 GHz.
No sound Incompatible audio codec Update firmware or use an external player
The app crashes Out of memory Clear cache in Settings → Applications

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about setting up DEXP

The TV can't find Wi-Fi, even though other devices can connect. What's wrong?

Possible reasons:

  • 📡 The TV does not support the range 5 GHz (try it 2.4 GHz).
  • 🔒 The MAC address filter is enabled in the router settings (add the TV's MAC address to the whitelist).
  • 🔄 The TV's Wi-Fi module is disabled (check in Settings → Network).

If nothing helps, update your router firmware.

Is it possible to connect DEXP to Wi-Fi without a remote control?

Yes, there are several ways:

  1. Use the official app DEXP Remote (available for Android/iOS).
  2. Connect a keyboard or mouse via USB/Bluetooth and control the menu using them.
  3. On some models, the control buttons are duplicated on the body (usually on the side or bottom).

If the remote control is lost, order an original or universal one (for example, One For All).

How to find the MAC address of a DEXP TV?

A MAC address is needed to bind to a router or ISP. To find it:

  1. Go to Settings → Network → Network Status.
  2. Scroll down and the MAC address will be listed in the section Device Information.
  3. Alternatively, the MAC address sticker is usually on the back of the TV.
Why don't some channels open even though there is internet?

Possible reasons:

  • 🔒 Provider blocking: Some channels (eg Match TV or TNT4) may be blocked by geolocation. Use a VPN on your router.
  • 📛 Outdated playlist: Update the channel list with your IPTV provider.
  • 📵 Device limitation: Some providers have a limit on the number of simultaneously connected TVs (usually 1-2).

Try opening the problematic channel on another device (phone, computer) using the same Wi-Fi connection. If that doesn't work, the problem is with your provider.

Is it possible to connect DEXP to a direct neighbor's Wi-Fi (with their permission)?

Technically yes, but there are some nuances:

  • 🔐 You will need his Wi-Fi password.
  • 📡 Internet speed will be divided between your devices and his, which may cause slowdowns.
  • 🛡️ Some routers limit the number of connected devices (usually up to 10-15).
