How to Connect Hisense TV to WiFi without Remote

Connecting a Hisense TV to Wi-Fi without a remote can be a bit tricky, but it’s entirely possible by using alternative methods. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get your TV connected to the internet:

• Use the Physical Buttons on the TV: Most Hisense TVs have physical buttons on the side or underneath the display. Look for a “Menu” button and arrow buttons (up, down, left, right).
• Power On the TV: Press the “Power” button to turn on the TV.

• Access the Menu: Press the “Menu” button. This should bring up the TV’s on-screen menu.

• Navigate to Network Settings: Use the arrow buttons to navigate through the menu and find the “Network” or “Settings” option. It might also be labeled as “Setup.”

• Select Wi-Fi Network: Once you’ve found the network settings, navigate to the Wi-Fi section and select it.
• Scan for Networks: Your TV will likely scan for available Wi-Fi networks. Wait for the scan to complete.
• Choose Your Wi-Fi Network: When the list of available networks appears, use the arrow buttons to select your Wi-Fi network.
• Enter Your Wi-Fi Password: If your Wi-Fi network is secured (which it should be), you’ll need to enter your Wi-Fi password. Use the on-screen keyboard to do this. It’s usually a slow process using the arrow buttons, but be patient.
• Connect to Wi-Fi: Once you’ve entered the correct Wi-Fi password, select “Connect” or “OK” to establish the connection.
• Confirm Connection: The TV should now attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you’ll typically see a confirmation message.
• Test the Connection: You can test the connection by launching an app or trying to browse the internet (if your TV has a web browser).

It’s important to note that the exact steps and terminology may vary slightly depending on the model of your Hisense TV. However, the basic process of using the TV’s physical buttons to access the menu, navigate to network settings, and connect to Wi-Fi should remain consistent across most models. Once your TV is connected to Wi-Fi, you’ll be able to access streaming apps, online content, and other smart features.
