How to completely disconnect Marusya from Wi-Fi: 5 proven methods

Voice assistant Marusya from VK Marusya has become an integral part of many smart devices, from speakers to TVs. However, sometimes you need to disconnect it from a Wi-Fi network: for security reasons, to save data, or simply to get rid of unnecessary connections. Unlike standard gadgets, where disconnecting from a network takes just two clicks, with Marusya the process can be less obvious.

In this article, we'll cover all the current methods for disconnecting Marusya from Wi-Fi—from basic settings in the mobile app to manually deleting network profiles on the device. We'll pay special attention to the nuances for different speaker models (VK Capsule, VK Station) and TVs with integrated Marusya. You'll also learn how to check whether the assistant is truly disconnected from the network and what to do if standard methods don't work.

Why does Marusya connect to Wi-Fi without your knowledge?

Many users encounter a situation where Marusya automatically connects to the network, even when you didn't intend to. The reasons for this behavior lie in the voice assistant's architecture:

• 🔄 Automatic connection restorationAfter a device reboot or network failure, Marusya attempts to restore the last active connection—this is built into its firmware.
• 📱 Synchronization with a mobile applicationIf you've ever set up Marusya through the app VK Music or VK Assistant, it can automatically transmit network data.
• 🔗 Firmware updatesWhen installing new versions of the software, Marusya can reset network settings and connect to previously saved networks.
• 🏠 Guest networkSome routers (for example, Keenetic or TP-Link) automatically share guest Wi-Fi with connected devices, and Marusya can pick up such a signal.

It's important to understand that even in sleep mode, a speaker or TV with Marusya may periodically connect to the internet to check for updates or sync data. Completely disconnecting from Wi-Fi requires a comprehensive approach—simply "forgetting the network" in the settings isn't enough.

Method 1: Disabling Wi-Fi via the VK mobile app

The most obvious and safest method is to use the official app. VK Music (for speakers) or VK Assistant (for TVs) This method is suitable for most devices, including VK Capsule, VK Station and televisions Sony Bravia or LG with integrated Marusya.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Open the app VK Music (or VK Assistant for TV) on a smartphone.
2. Go to the section Devices (speaker or TV icon in the bottom menu).
3. Select your device with Marusya from the list.
4. Tap on the icon ⚙️ Settings → Wi-Fi.
5. Click Forget this network (or Turn off Wi-Fi in some versions of the application).
6. Confirm the action. The device should reboot.

If after these steps Marusya still connects to the network, check:

• 📲 Availability of application updates (sometimes bugs are fixed in new versions).
• 🔄 Router status - it may automatically distribute the same SSID on different channels.
• 🔒 Parental control settings on your router (sometimes they block devices from being disconnected).

An important nuanceOn some firmware versions, Marusya may retain network data even after the "Forget" command. In this case, only a factory reset will help (see Method 4).

Method 2: Manually deleting a network on a device running Marusya

If the mobile app doesn't help or you don't have access to your smartphone, you can delete the network directly on the device. The interface will vary depending on the model:

For speakers VK Capsule And VK Station:

1. Press and hold the button Action (or Microphone Mute) on the top panel of the speaker for 5 seconds until you hear a beep.
2. Say it out loud: Wi-Fi Settings.
3. Marusya will announce the current network. Say: "Forget this network".
4. Confirm the command with your voice: "Yes".

For TVs with Marusya (Sony, LG, Philips):

1. Open the TV menu using the remote control.
2. Go to Settings → Network → Wi-Fi Settings.
3. Select your current network and click Delete or Forget.
4. Confirm the action. You may be asked to enter your PIN (default 0000 or 1234).

Critical detail: On Sony TVs from 2022 to 2026, after deleting a network, Marusya may automatically reconnect to it after 10-15 minutes. This is due to the feature Auto Reconnect in the firmware. To avoid this, disable the option. Auto-connect to known networks in advanced network settings.

Method 3: Blocking Marusya at the router level

If the previous methods didn't work or you want to completely block Marusya's access to the network, you can block her by MAC address in the router settings. This method is universal and works regardless of the device's firmware.

How to find Marusya's MAC address:

• 📱 In the mobile app: Device settings → Information → MAC address.
• 🗣️ By voice (for speakers): "What is your MAC address?".
• 📺 On TV: Settings → About device → Network information.

Blocking instructions:

1. Open your router's control panel (usually at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).
2. Go to the section Wireless Network → MAC Filter (or Access control).
3. Add Marusya's MAC address to the blacklist.
4. Save the settings and reboot the router.

⚠️ AttentionBlocking by MAC address doesn't prevent Marusya from connecting to other networks (for example, to a neighbor's if they have open Wi-Fi). For a complete shutdown, combine this method with others.

Method 4: Reset your device to factory settings

If Marusya stubbornly returns to Wi-Fi despite all attempts, the last resort is a full reset of the device. This will delete all saved networks, accounts, and personal settings.

How to reset different devices:

For speakers VK Capsule/VK Station:

• 🔕 Press and hold the button Reset (usually located on the back panel next to the power connector) for 10-15 seconds until the indicator light starts flashing red.
• 🗣️ After rebooting, the speaker will prompt you to set it up again. Skip this step during the Wi-Fi connection step.

For TVs with Marusya:

• 📺 Go to Settings → Support → Reset.
• 🔑 Enter your PIN (default) 0000, 1234 or 9999 for different models).
• 🔄 Choose Factory reset and confirm.

After reset:

• ✅ Marusya will be completely disconnected from all networks.
• ❌ You will have to reconfigure all settings (language, accounts, preferences).
• ⚠️ On some TVs LG A reset may roll back the firmware to the factory version - check for updates after the procedure.

What to do if the reset button does not work?

If there is a physical button Reset The speaker doesn't respond, try:

1. Turn off the power for 1 minute, then hold the button Action + Volume + when turned on.

2. For TVs: press Menu + Volume Down on the remote control and turn on the TV.

3. If nothing helps, contact VK support, indicating the model and serial number.

Method 5: Disabling Marusya through power saving modes

A little-known lifehack: on some devices, Marusya disconnects from Wi-Fi when power-saving mode is activated. This isn't a complete shutdown, but it does limit its network activity.

How does this work:

• 🔋 On the speakers VK Station hold the button Nutrition 3 seconds until the orange indicator lights up. This puts the device into sleep mode and disables Wi-Fi.
• 📺 On TVs Sony go to Settings → Power Saving → Standby Mode and select Low power consumption.
• 🔌 To completely turn off the network, you can use smart sockets (for example, Xiaomi Smart Plug), which physically interrupt the scheduled meals.

Limitations of the method:

• ⏱️ In sleep mode, Marusya can periodically "wake up" to check for updates (once every 6-12 hours).
• 🔊 The voice assistant will not respond to commands until the device wakes up from sleep mode.
• 📶 Some features (such as music streaming) will become unavailable.

⚠️ AttentionOn TVs LG With webOS 6.0 and higher, the power saving mode may conflict with HDMI-CEC operation. If, after activation, remote controls for other devices (for example, Apple TV), return the power saving settings to their original state.

Checking the result: how to make sure Marusya is disconnected from Wi-Fi

Disconnecting Marusya from the network is half the battle. It's important to verify that she really can't connect to the internet. Here are a few diagnostic methods:

1. Through the indicators on the device

• 🟢 On the speakers VK Capsule A green Wi-Fi light indicates an active connection. If it's off or flashing red, the network is disconnected.
• 📺 On TVs, check the Wi-Fi icon in the upper right corner of the screen (it should be crossed out or missing).

2. Via a router

1. Open the list of connected devices in the router control panel (section DHCP clients or Connected devices).
2. Find the name of your speaker or TV in the list (usually contains VK-, Bravia- or LG-).
3. If the device is missing, Marusya is disabled.

3. Through test commands

Ask Marusya:

• "Are you connected to the internet?" (must answer negatively).
• "What is my IP address?" (if he answers "No connection" - Everything is fine).
• Play a song from VK Music (I must say that she can’t live without the Internet).

4. Via third-party applications

Use network scanning utilities, such as:

• Fing (Android/iOS) - will show all devices on your network.
• WiFi Analyzer — will help detect "hidden" connections.
• Angry IP Scanner (Windows/macOS) - for advanced diagnostics.

Common mistakes and their solutions

Users often encounter common issues when disconnecting Marusya from Wi-Fi. Let's look at the most common ones and how to fix them:

If none of these methods help, the problem may be a hardware failure in the Wi-Fi module. In this case:

• 🛠️ Contact the service center (for devices under warranty).
• 📞 Contact VK support by phone 8 800 555-00-00 (call is free).
• 🔧 For self-diagnosis, check if the device is overheating (this can cause false connections).

FAQ: Answers to frequently asked questions

Is it possible to disconnect Marusya from Wi-Fi but still have access to the local network (for example, for DLNA)?

Yes, but with reservations. On the speakers VK Station This is impossible - they are either fully connected to the network or they are not. On TVs (for example, Sony Bravia with Android TV) you can:

1. Disable Wi-Fi in Marusya settings.
2. Connect to the router via cable (Ethernet).
3. In the router settings, block Marusya's access to the Internet, but allow local traffic (via the firewall settings).

Please note that without the Internet, the voice assistant will lose most of its functions (weather, music, Internet search).

Marusya is connecting to my neighbor's Wi-Fi. How can I stop this?

This is a typical problem for devices with the feature Auto-connect to known networksSolutions:

• Disable this feature in the Wi-Fi settings on your device.
• Ask your neighbor to add your Marusya's MAC address to his router's blacklist.
• Change your network name (SSID) to something unique—this will reduce the likelihood of it leaking to other routers with similar names.
• Use Wi-Fi Analyzerto find and delete all saved networks on your device.

After disconnecting the Wi-Fi, Marusya stopped responding to voices. Is this normal?

Yes, this is expected behavior. Without an internet connection, Marusya loses access to:

• Cloud processing of voice commands (speech recognition occurs on VK servers).
• Streaming services (VK Music, Kinopoisk).
• Weather updates, exchange rates and other online data.

Local commands (such as volume control or USB track switching) should work. If voice input doesn't work even for basic functions, check your device's microphone or reset it.

How to disconnect Marusya from Wi-Fi on a TV LG with webOS?

On TVs LG With integrated Marusya the algorithm is slightly different:

1. Click the button Settings on the remote control.
2. Go to All Settings → Network → Wi-Fi Connection.
3. Select your current network and click Delete.
4. Return to the main menu and select Settings → General → Reset to factory settings (only if the previous step did not work).

On LG It is also recommended to disable the option LG ThinQ AI in the settings, as it can automatically restore network connections.

Is it possible to permanently disconnect Marusya from Wi-Fi so that she never connects?

Technically yes, but it would require drastic measures:

• Physically disabling the Wi-Fi module (for advanced users only - requires disassembling the device).
• Flashing alternative software (For example, LineageOS for some Android TVs, but this will void the warranty).
• Using a "cheat" — creating a fake network with the same name, but without internet access (configured via a router).

For most users, a combination of the methods in this article (reset + MAC lock + disabling auto-connect) is sufficient.
