Modern Smart TVs, such as the model Toshiba 40L7363RK, provide access to a huge number of online services, but they require a stable internet connection to function properly. Without an internet connection, it's impossible to stream high-definition video, update firmware, or use built-in apps.
The connection process may seem complicated for a beginner, but the operating system interface Android TVThe system on which this model is based is as user-friendly as possible. Simply follow the steps in the settings menu sequentially.
In this article, we'll cover not only the standard network login procedure in detail, but also discuss methods for troubleshooting common errors that may occur when pairing with a router.
Preparing to set up a wireless connection
Before using the remote control, make sure your network equipment is ready for use. Your router should be turned on, and your internet connection should be active and working properly.
For the model Toshiba 40L7363RK The TV supports 802.11 b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi standards. This means it can operate in both the 2.4 GHz band and the faster 5 GHz band, provided your router supports dual-band data transfer.
Prepare your wireless network password in advance. Entering characters using a remote control is time-consuming, so knowing the exact password (including case-sensitive letters) will save you time.
⚠️ Important: Make sure your router isn't using hidden SSID mode. If the network is hidden, the Toshiba 40L7363RK TV may not detect it automatically when scanning the air.
It's also worth checking whether MAC address filtering is enabled on your router. If so, you'll need to find the TV's MAC address in the manual or on the sticker on the back panel and add it to the whitelist of allowed devices.
Step-by-step instructions for connecting via the menu
Turning on your TV and going to the main menu is the first step. Once the Android TV home screen loads, find the settings gear, which is usually located in the upper-right corner of the interface.
Click the button Settings on the remote control or select the corresponding icon using the navigation mouse. In the list that opens, find the section Network and Internet (Network & Internet). This is where all the parameters responsible for communication with the outside world are concentrated.
☑️ Connection checklist
Inside the section, select the item Wi-FiThe system will prompt you to enable the wireless module if it's disabled. Once enabled, it will begin searching for available networks. Find your router's name (SSID) in the list and click it.
A virtual keyboard will appear on the screen. Enter the password using the navigation arrows. Be careful when entering special characters and numbers. After entering, press Connect.
If the password is correct, the Toshiba 40L7363RK TV will attempt to obtain an IP address automatically. If successful, the "Connected" status will appear next to the network name, and a signal strength icon may appear in the status bar.
What to do if the keyboard does not appear?
Sometimes the Android TV interface may freeze while entering your password. Try rebooting your TV by unplugging it for 30 seconds and then try accessing the settings menu again.
Advanced network settings and static IP
In most cases, automatic settings are sufficient, but sometimes manual configuration is required for stable streaming or DLNA servers. To do this, select Additional settings.
Here you can change the IP settings from DHCP to Static. This is useful if you want your TV to always have the same address on your local network, making it easier to set up remote control.
When choosing a static IP, you will need to manually enter the following information, which depends on your router settings:
- 📍 IP address: the unique address of the device on the network (e.g. 192.168.1.50)
- 🚪 Gateway: your router's address (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1)
- 🌐 Subnet mask: most often 255.255.255.0
- 🔍 DNS: You can use your provider's or public DNS (for example, 8.8.8.8 from Google)
Changing DNS servers to public ones (Google DNS or Cloudflare) often helps resolve the issue when Wi-Fi is connected but content isn't loading. This is especially true if your ISP blocks certain resources.
Using WPS for fast synchronization
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect to the network without entering a password using the remote control. This significantly speeds up the process and eliminates typing errors.
On the Toshiba 40L7363RK TV, in the Wi-Fi network selection menu, find the button WPS Push Button or a similar item in the additional options. After pressing it, the TV will enter signal standby mode.
Within two minutes, press the physical WPS button on your router. The devices will find each other and automatically exchange encryption keys.
⚠️ Note: WPS is considered less secure than using a strong password. If you use this feature, make sure your router is protected with a strong WPA2/WPA3 encryption key after setup.
Not all routers have a physical WPS button. In some models, it may be combined with a reset button or activated through the router's web interface. Check the documentation for your network equipment.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting
It's not uncommon for a TV to fail to detect or connect to a network. This could be due to a software glitch, a weak signal, or incompatible encryption standards.
The first thing you need to do is reboot your router. Unplug it for 10-15 seconds and plug it back in. Wait until it fully boots up and then try connecting. Toshiba 40L7363RK again.
If the issue persists, check the date and time on your TV. An incorrectly set time can block a secure connection (HTTPS) to update servers and streaming services.
| Symptom | Possible cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Network not found | Distant router or hidden SSID | Move the router closer or enable name broadcasting |
| Authentication error | Incorrect password | Double-check your input characters and case |
| Obtaining IP address... | DHCP address shortage | Reboot your router or set a static IP |
| Connected, without internet | DNS or ISP issues | Change DNS to 8.8.8.8 |
It's also worth paying attention to the channel your router is running on. If neighboring networks are using the same channel, interference may occur. Try changing the channel in your router settings to 1, 6, or 11 for the 2.4 GHz band.
Optimizing signal speed and quality
Viewing 4K or HDR video requires high bandwidth. Toshiba 40L7363RK supports modern codecs, but for their smooth operation the signal must be stable.
The router's location is crucial. Avoid placing it behind metal objects, in niches, or near microwave ovens, which generate strong electromagnetic interference.
If your TV is located far from your router, consider using a Wi-Fi repeater (signal booster) or switching to a wired connection via LAN cable, if the design allows.
Using the 5 GHz band provides faster speeds, but has a shorter range and is less effective at penetrating walls. If speeds are low on this band, switch to 2.4 GHz.
⚠️ Please note: Smart TV interfaces and router firmware are subject to update. Menu item locations and function names may differ slightly from those described in the instructions.
