Bravia Xbr-65a8g built-in wifi wont stay on

foo123 — Mon, 15 May 2023 16:36:47 GMT

Android updated something last week, had to turn built-in wifi back on afterwards. Worked fine thru yesterday. Turned set on this morning and built-in wifi wont stay switched on.

Have power cycled both TV and router multiple times

Android v8.0.0 kernel 3.10.79

I can't see anything with a recent date but it was definitely an Android update last week

Any advice most welcome

Hi @foo123 I am surprised that your American model TV works in Europe. I thought that they had a different digital terrestrial tuning system (I am probably wrong). If you haven’t tried it, I would try a factory reset. As you probably know, your TV will not be supported in Europe.

No my TV and I are in the US. Does that matter for this forum? It's the only forum that came up in Google search

So I will remove myself from this community and look for an American one. Thanks!

Hi @foo123

I did reply almost immediately yesterday, with a link to the US community. I see it has disappeared, probably eaten up by the spam filter, as it was purely the link below.

Hi @foo123 I tried to send you the link to the US community yesterday and just now but it gets deleted by the spam filter. 😂

Hi @foo123 and welcome to the UK community

No need to leave this forum if you join the USA one, stay with us and then you'll have

the best of both worlds 😉

Did you manage to factory restore your TV?

That's kind of you. I would like to stay on here then, thanks 🙂

Yes a factory reset fixed it. Thanks for that suggestion. My TV is pretty useless without an Internet connection. Living in a tight mountain valley, even an over the air antenna can't pick up a signal

Thanks to all
