Connecting a TV Fusion Connecting to a wireless network provides access to streaming services, Smart TV features, and online content. However, many users encounter difficulties: the network can't be found, the password isn't accepted, or the connection keeps dropping. In this article, we'll look into these issues. all connection methods — from the basic one via the settings menu to alternative methods using WPS or an Ethernet adapter.
Feature of TVs Fusion (especially models Fusion Flair, Fusion Flame And Fusion Flat) is due to the non-standard arrangement of menu items and specific network requirements. For example, some devices do not support networks with a frequency 5 GHz or encryption WPA3We've taken these nuances into account and compiled instructions that are suitable even for older firmware versions.
1. Preparing for connection: what to check before starting
Before you move on to setting up your TV, make sure your network is ready for the new device. 90% of problems Connection problems arise due to incorrect router settings, not the TV itself.
First, check that the router is turned on and broadcasting Wi-Fi. The wireless network indicator on the router should be green or blue (depending on the model). If the indicator is flashing orange or red, this indicates a malfunction. In this case, first reboot the router (unplug the power for 30 seconds) and then try again.
Secondly, make sure your TV Fusion is within the network coverage area. To check, take your smartphone or laptop and assess the signal strength in the same location where the TV is located. If the device displays 1-2 divisions of the Wi-Fi scale — the signal is too weak. This can help solve the problem:
- 📶 Move the router closer to the TV (ideally within 5 meters without obstacles)
- 🔄 Using a Wi-Fi signal repeater (amplifier)
- 🔌 Connect via Ethernet cable (if your TV model supports the adapter)
2020-2022 Fusion TVs do not support WPA3 encrypted networks—only WPA2-PSK (AES). If your router is configured for WPA3, temporarily switch it to compatibility mode (WPA2/WPA3 Mixed) or select WPA2-PSK manually.
⚠️ Note: If you are using a dual-band router (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz), try disabling the 5 GHz network during setup. Some models Fusion automatically connect to the weaker 2.4 GHz signal, even if 5 GHz is available.
2. Method 1: Connecting via the TV settings menu
This is the most common method that works on all models. Fusion with Smart TV support. The instructions are valid for firmware versions 4.1–6.3 (you can find out your version in Settings → Support → About TV).

Refresh. - Select your network from the list and enter the password. Use virtual keyboard on the screen or connect a USB keyboard for convenience.
- Confirm the connection and wait for the message
Connected.
If an error appears after entering the password Failed to connect to the network, check:
- 🔑 Make sure your password is correct (case-sensitive!)

What to do if WPS doesn't work?
If the router does not respond to the WPS button, check:
1. Is the "Go -> WPS Lock" mode disabled (WPS lock after several unsuccessful attempts).
2. Does your router model support WPS (older devices may not have this feature).
3. Is the "WPS PIN" function enabled on the router instead of "PBC" (in this case, you will need to enter the PIN code from the TV screen).
4. Method 3: Connecting via an Ethernet adapter (if Wi-Fi doesn't work)
If your TV Fusion can't connect to Wi-Fi due to weak signal or incompatibility with the router, use Ethernet adapter. Most models Fusion (except for the most budget ones) support wired connection via a port LAN or USB adapter.
You will need:
- 🔌 Ethernet cable (twisted pair)
- 🖥️ USB-Ethernet adapter (if your TV doesn't have a built-in LAN port)
How to connect:
- Connect the TV to the router with a cable (or plug the USB adapter into the TV port).
