Maybe your device is old and the wifi new or your device has failed. I would download a WiFi signal strength app from a reputable source and with a good reputation and see if any WiFi is detected on your device, go near the WiFi access point or router (at least in the same room). If that looks ok ie there is signal from the WIFi name you expect then look in the access point / router, usually done with a web browser, and look in wireless for a compatibility mode check box and tick it. This will lower your security as it will use older protocol but might help an older device connect. If it doesn't help go back and uncheck the box.
I hope this helps

SOURCE: wifi connecting problem .it start searching but error result

When I encountered this in the past it was attributed to faulty internal hardware (a faulty motherboard or PCB).

My Luxor (netflix) says it can't connect to internet

what is a Luxor? posted to PC computers help.
what OS does it run? XP, W10, android what?
Lexor is a game, nah not that.
I google to learn what it is and failing why?
1billion hits for a game (a game APP)
are you in N.America or USA? and we have no LEXOR PCs
here. Where in the world are you?
many places no here have endless other names for things not here.
this I know.
if confused post photo of this Lexor
or tell where you bought
or tell or show the store where you bought and a URL link to this PC.
if not a PC but is some TV then post to TELEVISION
ahhhhhhh lots of hits for Television so is off topic here.
and no model LuXOR told so answers will be wrong.(rear sticker label tells this)

vast old TV's can not run Netflix player at all now, its too old
most old TV can not even upgrade it. unless is Android TV. based.(CASE BY CASE NO TV TOLD)

the easy cure is ROKU. box. added, for sure.
cure 2 is go find Lexor web site
tell them this and ask for update.
now the diagnosis
a TV has like 20 to 100 streaming players, not just netflix
so if all Players fail that is a network (www internet) failure not related
at all to NETFLIX, (sorry not them)
lets lay real blame doing simple tests.

A TV MIGHT HAVE 2 CONNECTIONS, ETHERNET OR WIFI
SO IF USING WIFI , DO ALL THING FAIL USING your wifi and Ethernet both?
at home ( are you at home/)?
if all things wifi fail then that is the problem wifi not LEXOR
do tell and we can work that real problem.


The TV (television or tellie) has button called settings, set it to you choice of internet.
1: ethernet wired
2: wifi, using your SSID name and your wifi pass phase credentials.
and not all player work if subscribed.
a quick test is TUBI (free onces are best for testing) see/.

Followed toshiba tv wireless connection but testing connection results in endless spinning

Hi
Some older TV's test the connection by attempting to connect to a script on an old web address.
Don't worry about testing it.
Use the tv and if it works then fine.

My LG smart TV (60UH6035-UC) keeps dropping our streaming movies on Netflix. Do I need to replace the network card inside the TV? I've already replaced our router and modem.

moved you out of computers, its not.
why just do Netflix, there are like 1000 streaming sources online, now, try more, like vudu, hulu, amazon, or 1000 of free ones. endless. to try, in the LG app screen for players, see em?
did you speed test your unstated ISP connections?
did you try the TV using hard wired to router with ethernet cable.?
use wifi test last, wifi is problematic.
if wifi tv is far from router it will be slow.
if wifi is overloaded in your HOOD , then it will be slow.

own a PC, try it yet, connected wifi and for sure ethernet
see it or runs Netflix and say 5 others ok ?
run Inssider.exe program see of wifi is jammed up?

not once did you say wifi, and I bet it is.
we have a gigalan , ethernet jack in every room here.
I pulled all land line cables and switch them all to ethernet
so now if wifi goes NUTS, wired works.
btw, wired not one error in 2 years, not even that pesky buffering error, on Netflix.

gee even NEflix has speed test to see if HD mode even works.
for you.
if others in your home are tying up wifi gee, there you go.
wifi is shared resource,
good luck

Samsung tv stops streaming Netflixā€™s and freezes

I'd be looking at your internet speed. Sometimes when there are a lot of users at the same time the speed is reduced that will cause that. Have your provider test the modem to see if it is passing the speed you're paying for.
