Obviously it's good you don't have to shell out for a new TV but have you considered your house may be haunted by a mischievous ghost? 🤔 You might be right, pretty much the same time as the TV failed my WiFi connection on my laptop to the router went t*t* up, very slow speeds with pages loading frustratingly slowly. Mobile phone to router is fine, Netflix is fine. Three very long phone calls to my ISP resulted in nothing positive, all good at their end (they say)... Currently connecting the laptop to the router with an ethernet cable donated by my Son. Yes, ghosts, or poltergeists..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've tried resetting the laptop WiFi RollingJ, but I was on with the ISP support for over an hour following directions and it's all a blur. TBH you might be onto something here. I'm fairly sure the connectivity problems started around, or at the time I got a new/second hand laptop... How do I reset the laptop WiFi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who your ISP is, @Draggletail, but from my experience, most of the first-line support don't have a clue on technical stuff. To not distract this topic (too much) maybe if you started a thread on the computer board? It is a while since I used a Windows machine, so I'll have fire my old laptop up to refresh my memory, which I can't do tonight, but I'll have go tomorrow morning? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, RollingJ, I appreciate your input. I can ask my Son about resetting the laptop WiFi, he's pretty techie and has done his best to help but he's still learning. If you get the time it would be good if you could fire up your old Windows machine to refresh your memory regarding resetting the laptop WiFi. I won't get more off topic after that.

RollingJ Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) @DraggletailFirst thing to do is check for any warnings - open Control Panel>Device Manager and see if there are any yellow/red warning triangles. Which version of Windows are you running? Edited August 23 by RollingJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
