Question

How do I get WiFi on a TV?

Community Answer

Even if your TV has internet, usually they need ethernet cables as well. Plug those cables into the TV. If the TV has w-lan/WiFi compatibility, then go to the internet settings and select the network. Then, configure your network settings as you usually would on any other device.

Question

How do I get the password to connect to the internet?

Community Answer

Look on the router and see if there's a password on it. If not, or if the given password doesn't work, you will need to ask the owner of the router for the password as they may have changed it. If you are the owner, you can contact your internet service provider to get the password.
