Telstra TV not connecting to internet
Hi,
Just got my Telstra TV but I can't get it to connect to the internet via wireless or wired. I managed to get it connected via wireless once by following the advice in the community with these steps:
1. Turn off modem for a few minutes (Telstra gateway max cable).
2. Factory reset the device
This allowed me to upgrade the software but when it rebooted I'm faced with the same problem, no internet connection via wireless or wired. It says it is connected to my home network though, just not the internet. The steps above didn't work this time
Thanks

Hi DaveB70,
> It says it is connected to my home network though, just not the internet.
When your Telstra TV says it's connected to the home network but not the internet, can you try another WiFi connected device to see if it can access the internet? It sounds more like the Telstra TV has connected to your modem but the modem isn't connected to the internet.

Re: Telstra TV not connecting to internet
Hi Jools26,
If you’re connecting to a Wireless network, your Telstra TV may not be receiving a strong signal from your modem. If you’d like more information about maximising Wi-Fi performance within your home, please click here.
I usually find that changing the channel the modem transmits the WiFi signal on can help. You may have to try a few different channels before finding an optimal one. You can also try connecting your Telstra TV to your network using an Ethernet cable and see how that goes.

Hi Adamsfamily,
Have you tried running through the WiFi troubleshooting and changing the WiFi channel settings on the modem?

Re: Telstra TV not connecting to internet
Hi Snowfalcon,
I would suggest testing using an alternate Ethernet cable and also trying a different Ethernet port on the router.
If you try connecting wirelessly, does the Telstra TV 2 connect ok?

Re: Telstra TV not connecting to internet
There is no screen information on my tv after connecting the telstra tv as instructed. My tv uses a hdmi cable to connect to an onkyo av receiver and blue ray
dvd player.
What is the next step ??

Re: Telstra TV not connecting to internet
@than30 - How many HDMI ports does your TV have? Is the Telstra TV connected directly to one of those ports? Did you then change the source option to match that HDMI port number rather than the one that your onkyo receiver and blue ray player uses?
