If your Smart TV from DEXP If your Wi-Fi connection isn't detecting, constantly disconnects, or requires you to re-enter the password, the problem lies either in your TV settings or your router configuration. In this article, we'll cover all connection methods—from basic manual data entry to resolving rare errors like IP conflict or limited access.

It is important to understand: the connection algorithm may differ slightly depending on the model DEXP (for example, series H32D7000, U50F6000 or L43F5000) and firmware versions. However, the general logic remains the same: the TV must "see" the router's network, log in, and obtain an IP address. If something goes wrong, below you'll find checklists for diagnosing and troubleshooting common issues.

Before you begin, make sure that:

• 📶 The router is turned on and distributing Wi-Fi (the network indicator is green/blue).
• 🔑 Do you know the exact SSID (network name) and Wi-Fi password.
• 📺 TV DEXP is within the network coverage area (no further than 10 meters from the router in the absence of obstacles).
• 🔌 The TV's power supply is stable (no indicator blinking or spontaneous reboots).

1. Basic method: connecting via the DEXP settings menu

The most obvious and universal method is to use your TV's built-in menu. The interface may vary slightly, but the steps are the same for most models. DEXP on the platform Android TV or its own shell.

If the standard method doesn't work, try one of the alternatives. They're especially useful when:

• 🔄 TV DEXP "forgets" the network after switching off.
• 🔒 The password contains special characters (for example, !, @, #), which are difficult to enter from the remote control.
• 📡 The Wi-Fi signal is too weak for a stable connection.

Method 1: Connecting via WPS

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

Method 2: Using a USB Wi-Fi adapter

If the built-in Wi-Fi module of the TV is weak or damaged, you can connect an external one USB adapter with standards support 802.11ac or 802.11n. Make sure the adapter is compatible with Android TV (for example, models on a chip Realtek RTL8188EU or Ralink RT5370).

After connecting the adapter to the TV's USB port:

1. Go to Settings → Devices → USB.
2. Select an option Use as a network adapter.

• 🔄 The router is blocking the device. In the router settings, check the list of connected devices and delete old entries about the TV.
• 📵 The network is overloaded. Disconnect unnecessary devices from Wi-Fi and reconnect.

Error: "IP address not obtained" or "Limited access"

This means that the TV has connected to the network but has not received IP address from the router. Actions:

1. Go to Settings → Network → Advanced.
2. Select Manual IP configuration.
3. Please specify:
   • IP address: 192.168.0.X (where X is a number from 10 to 99, not occupied by other devices).
