1. Checking the compatibility of the TV and router

Before attempting to connect, please make sure your Haier is generally capable of working with your Wi-Fi network. Key criteria:

• 📶 Router standard: If the router is operating in mode Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) or 5 GHz, older TVs won't see it. You need to enable compatibility with 802.11n.
• 🔒 Encryption type: Haier does not support WPA3 - only WPA2-PSK (AES)If the router is enabled WPA3/WPA2 Mixed, the TV may not connect.

⚠️ Attention: If your router issues IP addresses in the range 10.0.0.x (instead of the standard 192.168.x.x), TV Haier may not be able to access the internet. In this case, manually set a static IP in the TV settings or change the DHCP range on the router.

2. Step-by-step instructions: connecting to Wi-Fi via the TV menu

The most reliable method is to use your TV's built-in menu. The interface may vary slightly depending on the model, but the general layout is the same:

1. Turn on the TV and press the button Menu (or Home) on the remote control.
2. Go to the section Settings → Network → Wireless Network (or Settings → Network → Wi-Fi).
3. Select your network from the list. If it's not there, click Refresh the list or Search for networks.
4. Enter your Wi-Fi password. Use virtual keyboard on the screen (more convenient with a remote control with a touch panel).
5. Confirm the connection. Wait for the message. Connected or Connected.

If the password is entered correctly, but the connection is not established, try:

• 🔄 Reboot the router (turn it off for 30 seconds).
• 📱 Bring your phone to the TV and turn it on access point with the same password - this way you can check whether the problem is in the TV or the router.
• 🔧 Manually specify DNS servers (for example, 8.8.8.8 And 8.8.4.4) in the TV network settings.
