There are many reasons why an Inignia TV may not connect to the network. If you have checked that your TV is connected correctly and that the network is available, but you still cannot connect your Insignia TV to the network, there may be a more serious problem.

Why won't my Insignia TV connect to wifi?​


1. Outdated software or firmware errors

Insignia is constantly updating its software and firmware. If your TV is not connected to a valid Internet connection, there will be problems downloading and installing newly released updates.
