What can cause your Smart TV internet to go slow?
So if the internet on your Smart TV is very slow. This due to several situations and here we will tell you some of them.
intermediate objects
It is possible that the internet of your Smart TV is slow if there are many intermediate objects between it and the router or also called modem. The objects in question are:
- microwave
- High number of electronic devices connected to the Wi-Fi network
- If the TV and modem are located in different rooms. Thick walls cause the signal to be weak. So you have to put them in the same place, and use the mobile as a control .
External applications that alter performance
Sometimes, some external apps, even though you don’t have them open, continue to consume the Internet. Finally, the tools that are installed by default on the system with each update.
How can you fix internet reception on your Smart TV?
We will show you the various ways to fix internet reception on a Smart TV. In the sections below.
Reboot your router
Double click the power button, and wait for about 30 seconds. Wait for the lights to flash indicating that it is already circulating again.
If you have already restarted the router and, even so, the connection is still just as slow. Then you have to locate the device in another point of the home. It is recommended that it be central, regardless of whether it is the corridor, a living room or dining room. This causes the antennas to emit a signal.
Now, with clear information, the place where the router is placed, we proceed with the factors that you must take into account:
The first thing is that the modem has to be at a medium height. That is, not so high reaching the ceiling, but not touching the ground either. Place it above a piece of furniture or a table. Made of wood and without obstacles around it.
It is also not valid to put the modem on walls, especially if they are thick. It should be away from electronic devices. Because they emit waves, which interfere with the signal.
The antennas require a certain position, in case you live in a house with only one floor. The axis must be vertical. And if you live in a two-story building, then move it to a 45-degree angle. Horizontally it is not good, since it transmits in only one direction. Then connect the TV to the internet and enjoy the service.
Update the operating system of your tv
Many times with a simple software improvement, a large part of the errors are repaired. That is why you always have to keep your Smart TV updated.
- With the TV remote click the Home button. She is represented by an icon in the shape of a house.
- Variables will appear on the screen, you have to go to configuration.
- Now go to the section that says support.
- There you locate the system update alternative.
- If one is available, click install.
- The download will start automatically,do not turn off the Smart TV.
Remember that this procedure varies depending on the brand. For example, in Samsung they ask you for a code that is usually 0000.
Detect any malware
Sometimes we download APK files and without realizing it, it comes with some kind of malware that can affect the smart TV. That is why the presence of any of them has to be detected in time.
Connect via ethernet cable
If the modem and TV are in the same room and the signal is still poor. So the best thing you can do is to connect the Smart TV with the Ethernet cable.
