1. Preparing your Skyworth TV for Wi-Fi connection

Before turning on Wi-Fi, make sure the following basic conditions are met:

• 📶 The router is turned on and distributes the network (the Wi-Fi indicator on the router lights up green or blue).
• 🔌 The TV is connected to the power supply and is fully loaded (the main menu is displayed on the screen).
• 📱 Have a smartphone or tablet with access to the router settings at hand - you may need it to check the network name (SSID) and password.
• 🔄 If the TV was previously connected to a different network, reset the network settings (instructions in section 5).

Pay special attention distance between the TV and the router. For a stable signal at frequency 2.4 GHz It is recommended to use no more than 10 meters without obstacles (walls, furniture). If you use 5 GHz, the range is reduced to 5-7 meters, but the connection speed will be higher. Check if your model supports it. Skyworth Dual-band Wi-Fi - this information can be found in the technical specifications or on the sticker on the back of the case.

⚠️ Attention: If your router is in the mode 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or later, and the TV was released before 2018, you may need to enable compatibility mode 802.11n in the router settings. Otherwise, the network simply won't appear in the list of available networks.

Also, prepare the connection data in advance:

• 🔐 Network name (SSID) — case sensitive (e.g. MyWiFi And mywifi - different networks).
• 🔑 Password - if it contains special characters (!, @, #), enter them in the English keyboard layout.
• 📡 Security type - usually WPA2-PSK (If WPA3, may not be supported by older models).
