Samsung TV UN32EH5300 Cannot find any Wifi Networks

[Storybell]

I have been through all the forum answers about this. Tried all the suggestions and more. Nothing is working. Is there something wrong with the TV itself causing it to not find any of the wifi networks? I have also tried adding my wifi network to the tv and that didn't work. Can a repairman fix this or is it just not fixable? Really frustrated!!

If you have to use a WIFI dongle, it's been known Samsung wants to you buy their branded dongle, and can't work with any generic WIFI dongle.

I'm sorry. I don't know what a WIFI dongle is. I have had my TV for 4 years and haven't had problems until now. I've always had internet connection with it until now. Smart Hub updated itself a few days ago. Could that have something to do with it? Is a WIFI dongle something you might need to replace?

I am going to try replacing the netwok card.

Anything is fixable, or more importantly replaceable. I suggest first updating the firmare on your TV, which can be done by going into Settings -> Network Settings for most TV's. If that fails, I would assume your Wifi card is defective. From a financial standpoint, you might find it best to either use a different device for Wifi (almost everything has a Wifi capability these days), or simply get a new TV.
