Fix - TCL Google TV Ethernet Connection Not Working! [Lan Cable]
If your TCL Google TV's Ethernet connection isn't working, you're not alone—this is a common issue, but thankfully there are multiple ways to troubleshoot and resolve it. This video outlines several practical fixes that can help get your TV back online using a wired Ethernet connection, ideal for stable streaming and low-latency performance.
First, ensure the Ethernet (LAN) cable is securely connected to both your TCL TV and your router or modem. A loose connection is one of the most basic but easily overlooked causes of Ethernet issues. Also, try using a different Ethernet cable or port on your router, as sometimes individual ports or cables can fail.
Another important step is to power cycle both your TV and router. To do this, unplug both devices from the power source, wait around 30 seconds, and then plug them back in. This simple reset can often clear up temporary connection issues.
Next, navigate through your TCL Google TV settings. Using your remote, go to 'Settings' 'Network and Internet' 'See All'. From here, check the Ethernet connection and try switching to another available network if visible. Sometimes the TV may fail to switch automatically between connections.
Another helpful tip is managing your app settings. Go to 'Settings' 'Apps 'Special App Access' 'Energy Optimization' and make sure 'Network Manager' is not restricted. Restricting system-level apps like this can prevent Ethernet from functioning properly.
If those methods don’t work, try a soft reset using the TV’s hardware buttons. Press and hold the volume and power buttons simultaneously until you see the restart prompt. This forces the TV to reset its network configurations without wiping your entire system.
If you're still having trouble, consider connecting temporarily through mobile data or a hotspot to confirm if the issue is with the Ethernet itself. Testing a different Ethernet cable or plugging it into another port on the router can also help isolate the problem.
These steps should help most users get their wired network connection working again on TCL Google TV models.
