Your set may have a defective wi fi detection circuit that is causing all the grief. I had to return a laptop for this reason.
Maybe the signal is weak - try raising the router as high as possible off the floor and also try putting a deflector behind the router to direct the signals in the direction of tv set to maximize strength.

SOURCE: I am trying to bridge a belkin n router to a d-link router

ok

the simplest way is to find some alternatives, here as some suggestions

now if you do want to attempt your solution do a few things first

first you do need to go into the belkin router's configuration page you can do this by:

  1. Open a web browser on the computer.
  2. In the address bar of the web browser, type http://192.168.2.1
  3. Click Login in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The router does not ship with a password, so just click Submit.
or if you set up a password can't remember it do this first

http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48/kw/F5D8231-4/p/312/r_id/166

now.. you need to find out if both routers support bridging.. you need to look into both router's configuration page, I couldnt find you router's manual and you did not posted you dlink router's configuration.

if you do find bridging try the directions found here

post back if you have questions after reviewing each router's configuration.
now an alternative option is to

SOURCE: Can I extend my internet range with a netgear & a Belkin router

DG834G is a modem/router, it is not a range extender that could extend the range of the wireless signal from the Belkin router.

BUSH Smart TV no internet connectivity

moved you to TELEVISION from PC
WE CAN NOT CURE THE LACK OF SUPPORT IN ANY SENIOR HOME CARE CENTER.. WHY NOT ASK THEM FOR HELP.
THE tv MUST BE RESET FIRST ... THE NETWORKING IS COVEReD
IN THE UNSTATED TV MODEL, MANUAL (how to do that)

THIS ACT ERASES THE OLD USELESS CREDENTIALS IN THE TV.
then start fresh with SSID and password used by your home admin
ask them for the credentials.
also NF will ask you , is this a new device, answer yes.
also the base NF Account only allows 2 devices at the same time
and the 3rd will be blocked or upgrade your account with more $$$$

NO TV told, so answers will be generic,
make of TV and model, and on the rear of the TV is the TAG
with full model told, never ask TV questions lacking this model #
like LG ----55LCD12345-us. (fake example)

I can't watch Internet TV channels on my AIM smart TV

what country?
what ISP?
the TV can connect to your home router 2 ways,
wifi or Ethernet wired, if not , all streaming will fail.
I guess the TV spart screen players are all dead, but you never named at least 1 that is dead. if all are even free ones
then your TV is not connected to your home network
do all TVs at home fail
do all PCs connected to your router fail wired or WIFI
does your CELL phone wifi work? or shows not connected.
we now covered the way.
next you ask for cures right, well get your routers wifi credientials.
SSID name and password
then at the TV set up that in the TV settings under wifi.
end.

My Akai tv won’t connect to the internet wirelessly

wow no TV model stated, wow ! model NUMBER.
the #1 top question about computers (besides dead ) is
wifi dead, everybody uses it and it loves to fail or run slow.
wifi is a SHARED resource that you do not own. ok?
you are just user of the radio channel, shared, switch to channel 5 yet ? at the router but I digress.
The TV must be close to the router not 50feet away. ok?>
buy a AP access point wired bridge> (ask) put it near TV ?


first off use wired Ethernet, see it works and everyday forward no PAIN.

if you must use WIFI learn to test it first. ok?
learn your credentials too. first. SSID and PW.
on a PC at home try wifi now, or on any smart cell phone
turn on wifi and turn off say 3G, does wifi work now?
if yes, then wifi is OK, testing wifi done.
now back to that TV (no model stated at all,sticker on rear words)
The TV can (most smart TVs) have a reset networking feature
RTM read the manual yet, id read it to you but no TV stated.
all do really, reset it and then it goes in to wifi setup
it asks you 2 things, really, just 2,
your SSID, that is your home wifi router name used in the PC or smart phone tests above.
my TV and all PCs show like 10 homes near by there SSID
and mine, , mine is (lie) FIDO123. so on my TV I see FIDO123.
and click that, now it asks for my password passphase,
mine is written down and is COMPLEX. (security max here)
I type that and like magic the wifi works , if not is it to far from your router , is it? TV >>>>>router???? distance is what? walls? of concrete are bad. for wifi. (dense walls bad of any kind)

Wifi is problematic for sure 801 b or g and n (geT "AC" if TV allows this) The best TVs are set up for. 801.11-/ac" features.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ac

Wifi can run slow, or 1/2 speed if one other errant device in home causes N bonding drop out, making TV show buffering delays.

http://www.pcdied.com/DevMan/internet.html#wifi


here is LG TV that does "AC"wifi spec.
  • LG 55" Class 4K (2160P) Ultra HD Smart LED HDR TV 55UK6090PUA I your router is "AC"rated the pair work very good.
    TVs 2013 and newer have this now for 6 years.

    How can I watch Netflix on a tv Sony wega that isn’t hooked to the internet. It’s wirelessly connected to Vizio ( smart tv Netflix built in) but I want to be able to watch in a different room

    netflix is a 100% internet web site , streaming site.
    thus the net in flix.
    what did you mean by hooked?\
    do you have internet at home at all?
    do other things in home work to the internet, like PC or cell phones.
    what I can not under stand is (different room) this phase
    implies some rooms do work (netflex)
    and wifi gets weak if my move any TV farther from the home router
    and will fail past 25 feet or more. wifi is super weak through walls
    for sure brick, or 2 walls.
    if home is small one wifi access point is all you need
    if huge home more.
    distance matter, TV to router.
    no TV model # told. (tells me wifi spec)


    if you said my TV works in room 1 but not room 2, wifi;.
    it be super more easy to answer.. is this true?
    if true , get a tech to upgrade your wifi.
    or go wired, Ethernet.(a better home upgrade)

    60 Panasonic Viera Plasma TV does not accept my verified ASUS Router password

    old plasma? what is full model name of TV?
    i guess wifi fails on TV.
    so is TV close to the router wrong at or 100ft away.
    do all other things work on this router wifi
    cell phones (standing near TV (distance matters)
    or any laptops
    or notebooks or pads?
    test that first. if that fails the router is set up wrong
    is it your router or the ISPs?

    learn to diagnose WIFI , hint try more devices
    on my verizon cell phone, it has wifi option
    i turn off 4g saves money doing that)
    an then turn on wifi (home wifi) and set that up
    if that works the router is ok
    if still only TV fails. the TV may be too old, no tv model told
    so if TV is very old, and does not do WPA2
    and your router is set to WPA2 only (like mine is now)
    then it can fail at the TV only.

    here in your router do this, just 3 steps.
    set the SSID first,, to like rover123 (a name you now, instantaly as yours)
    easy no?
    next set the encrytpion to what you TV can do
    if TV is WPA1 only set router to, wpa1 /2 both. dual wpa mode.
    do not use WEP it is not safe.
    now set you Pass-phrase (pw)
    to say this,. (not this , this its lastpass created do your own)
    do not use dictionary PW.
    now it works, at home. just 1 example, then write it down.!!!
    8vngIaUVaQTx


    OR DO THIS:
    connect the router with cat/5/6 cable to the TV Ethernet port assuming it has one. and bam fast easy connections
    in TV you must tell it to use what ever you have now.
    first. in INTERNET connects inside TV menus. smart screens.

    I have a Westinghouse smart TV and I have the WiFi home but it is not connecting to the internet or netflix what must I do

    Hi Samantha
    Assuming that the WiFi is working around the house with other devices like iPhone / iPad and other computers?
    The Westinghouse TV is just another device connecting to your Home Network via a WiFi Signal. Unless it uses a dedicated Ethernet Cable at the back of the set > to Modem Router Box.

    So... the problem would require setting up the Westinghouse smart TV with the necessary settings.
    Netflix is just a web site and will become available when the TV connects to your Network & External Internet GateWay.

    First, you need to know your WiFi Name & Password.
    I find it easier to use the iPhone as a test device to check the WiFi signal and set up details first. To Test Password etc.
    There is a helpful tool on the App Store called iNet - Network Scanner - See Below
    So... you must find the settings for Network on your smart tv.
    Setting the tv for DHCP is allowing it to Automatically search for an internet connection. Thats what most people do.
    Just choose your WiFi name (SSID) & Password.

    But... you can choose your own IP addresses if you like to keep all your devices on a known address.
    Eg. Your Router or Modem Box Gateway address 192.168.1.1
    Each of the other devices have a unique address.
    Computer 1 192.168.1.10
    Computer 2 192.168.1.20
    Camera 1 192.168.1.100
    SmartPhone 192.168.1.130
    You can use the end numbers between 1 & 255
    Your Gateway might also use another IP Group e.g. 10.0.0.0
    Your really only interested in making the last numbers different from each other.

    Cheers

    I was given Netflix (stream-in) for a gift, but can not get it to come onto our tv. Please help.

    Your TV must be a 'smart' TV i.e. it should have software enabling it to connect to the internet and access features such as Netflix. If you don't have a 'smart' TV then you can purchase a set top box which can be connected to your TV and will allow you to access on-line services such as Netflix. If you have a 'smart' TV then you still need to connect it to your internet router, either with an Ethernet cable or via WiFi if the TV has WiFi built in (or you can buy a WiFi adapter for the TV). If you connect with an Ethernet cable then the TV will connect to your router (and internet) with no further setup. If you use WiFi then you will need to access the WiFi settings menu on the TV and configure the settings for your router.

    The wifi range only works in the 2 closest rooms to the desktop computer that has Belkin 54G Gateway router. If we go to other rooms in house with laptops, the wifi no longer works. How can we improve...

    There are a number of Wireless Range Extenders on the market which will suit your requirements.
