TV

Hi all,

Recently I've been unable to connect to the internet with my TV. It shows connected to home network so it is finding the router but lately it has been failing to connect to the internet telling me that there is a DNS issue. I am running several other devices on the wireless network (MAC,PC,iPhone etc) with no problem connecting to the internet. Is there a way I could do a DNS flush on the TV? ISP is Shaw. I've tried both manual and auto entry of IP address and DNS. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Simply turning off the TV and powering it back on again should force it to re-acquire an IP address and DNS server addresses from your home network's wireless router.

Have you tried pulling power to your wireless router and turning off the TV, then powering the router back up again, then (after allowing time for the router to re-establish a connection with your internet service provider) powering the TV back on again?

Thanks for helpful suggestions. What worked in the end was to change the wireless mode to 11b/g mixed from 11b/g/n (via router webpage).
