The wireless capabilities of my 32" Vizio smart TV has stopped. We have four wireless internet routers in our house and my television has stopped detecting any of them. All of our other devices can still connect with a great signal but my TV's wireless capabilities has stopped. I need advise on how to fix. I have done manual resets to all devices. My TV's wireless capabilities has stopped.

TVs are notorious for bad wifi reception, the antenna is usually behind the screen and backs up to a wall. First thing is to move one of the routers right next to the the TV. I would turn off the others, incase one of them is causing interference. Log into the router to change the channel and try to connect the TV on wifi channels to 1, 6, or 11. If that works, move the router to where it needs to be and set up your other routers to use a different channel among 1, 6, & 11. If you have an ethernet jack on the TV then a wired connection would be the best, if possible, or a client bridge placed in a nearby better location.

Another question, do you use the same ssid on each router or different ssids?
