Last night after watching Hulu for about 45 minutes, my wifi disappeared.. like the internal adapter got disabled. My WiFi network wasn't appearing and neither were any nearby networks (like next door neighbors).

A reboot if the TV is the only way I got my network back.

TCL 40 Inch LED TV 40S305

Anyone else had this happen?

What firmware/build are you on?

8.2.0 4167-08
S/N 2N009L060453

If you can reproduce the issue, the next time it happens immediately do Home 5x Back 5x.  I can't remember offhand how this works, but it should generate a report and pop something on screen. PM that to me if it happens again.

Hopefully this is unrelated to firmware, so we want to rule that out.

*Edit* Using the above remote sequence, it'll pop up an Issue Report Tracker ID Number.

It happened tonight again, BEFORE I saw your reply .

Next time!

Hey this is the exact issue I've been experiencing for about 3 weeks now - after over a year, our roku tv has just started disconnecting randomly. It's pretty regular, every few days anyway, and hard re booting the tv is the only solution. Interested in what the cause or solution might be!

Gsagel, please refer to my post above, and send me your serial number/device ID:

Hello. I have exactly the same problem. Internet connection is disconnected randomly. 
It helps only to a new connection to WIFI with a subsequent reboot.
Please help!

BTW I haven't been watching much tv since I saw the above reply, I still intend to come back with a service id next time it occurs

Thank you.  We're still tracking the issue.

My Insignia TV was experiencing random WiFi disconnects, but I think the latest firmware update (got it Tuesday, don't know the version # and I'm not at home) has cured it. At least it didn't drop off while I used it for several hours after the update. Since I flew out early Wed morning, I haven't been able to test it further. But the wife uses that TV daily and she hasn't said anything.

Good luck.. sometimes it happens every day, and sometimes it happens once every 3 days. Usually it happens within a half hour of starting a stream, and is fine the rest of the day after the reboot.

I never had to reboot the TV, just reconnect to the network. Sometimes it even reconnected itself before I could get to the Network settings. Anyway, hoping the latest firmware fixed it 

I think the bug affects the TCL I own differently. Lucky for you.

I just got this issue. It went to the "no network connection" popup, so I hit home (which took me out of netflix and back home) and then home 5x back 5x.
