Vizio tv E3D420VX: internet problem

When I hit the V button, I get the little "loading" circle, but nothing else ever happens. I've checked the Wifi connection through "Network" on the menu, and it says it's fine, but nothing ever loads. I've tried resetting modem and router-nothing. Any other suggestions? It USED to work just fine with our current modem and router. Thanks!!

    Everything else is working through the TV, ie: Netflix, Amazon, etc. I'm not having trouble getting on with any other device in the house. Just that one part of the TV.

    Oh, and I haven't tried to update anything. I'm not the computer literate person in the house...that's my hubby. heh

    Amy, if all that works good, we now have to see why not the printer. So unplug the printer and plug the power cable to another outlet.Press the power button with a bit of pressure. If no light up,then the problem could be the switch. I suggest you contact support at hp. They are very helpful. If you have no warranty, they charge a small fee but find out how much. I also suggest you not try fixing the switch because that still is not dignosed. Goodluck.

    But I'm not trying to print anything. I'm just trying to get my "smart" TV to get on the internet. My printer prints fine, except it leaves a shadow of whatever I'm printing on blank parts of the paper. heh

Amy, check your wireless connection by clicking the 5bars. Now it may show connected but may not have internet connection. Check that. Check cable connections if correct. GL

    Internet IS connected, on my computer, on my Kindle, AND on the TV for the Netflix and Amazon and Vudu buttons. All that stuff works great.

SOURCE: Router Connectivity

It will be one of two things or both - either your computer is not setup for DHCP or your router is using the same IP address as your ISP or both.

To check ISP IP address connect your computer to your modem then: from start => run => CMD (hit enter after this)
a command window opens, type "ipconfig /all" without the quotes.
The line with "IP address" gives you your ISP IP addr.
Compare this with what you get from your router manual if they are the same then do the following:

To configure your computer to use a DHCP IP address, go to the Control panel => network connections => Properties (right click on your default connection) => double click Internet protocol (From general tab) => (a new window pops up) from the general tab ensure that "obtain an IP address automatically" is selected.

To change the IP address of your router check your manual and do the following:
IP Addr => 10.10.1.1
Sub net mask => 255.255.0.0
Default gateway => IP address from your ISP
Make sure to the router is set to act as a DHCP server.

You should be up and running.

The Netflix app on my vizio svt422xvt (one of the Vizios with VIA internet & wifi built-in) won't connect to Netflix. It directs me to the Netflix website for help, but Netflix help tells me to...

I had the same problem with my Vizio XVT473SV. I couldn't find the Netflix Activation Code. When I clicked on the Netflix App, the TV would ask me if I wanted to connect to Netflix, then it would ask me if I was a Netflix member. After clicking yes to both, it would tell me it couldn't connect to the Netflix server, check with Netflix.com/tvhelp. After a couple hours of troubleshooting, the solution was......your first use of the Netflix App has to be via the Ethernet Port/Cable. This will give you a screen with the Activation Code, after you activate the code in your Netflix account, you can go back to using WiFi on your Vizio TV to connect to Netflix. Step by step instructions are...
1) Exit the Vizio Netflix App.
2) Physically connect an Ethernet cable to your broadband (just temporarily)
3) Check to make sure the Vizio is using the Ethernet port and not your WiFi (Apps Button - HDTV Settings - Network...may have to reboot the TV to get Ethernet port connection)
4) Start the Vizio Netflix App
5) Click OK to start the Netflix App
6) You should now see a different screen that gives you the Netflix Activation Code.
7) On your Computer, Login in to Netflix,
8) Click on "Your Account & Help" link on upper right corner
9) Scroll down to Watching Instantly on your TV or Computer section
10) Click on Activate a Netflix Ready Device
11) Enter the Activation Code shown on your Vizio TV and click Activate
12) Once your Netflix account (on your computer) shows it is active, your Vizio TV will automatically log in. You should see your Instant Queue.
13) Exit the Netflix App, unplug the Ethernet cable, Turn Off your Vizio TV.
14) After 20 seconds or so (remember the TV is software driven), turn the TV back on and your WiFi should connect again.
15) Use your Netflix App and this time it should automatically connect via WiFi
note: just make sure that your wireless DSL/Cable Modem or Wireless Router is not blocking your WiFi connection request from the Vizio. You can check the connection status in the modem/router or in the Vizio in the HDTV Settings - Network.
