Connect smart TV to Hub2 with LAN

[tiredsailor]

Hi All

My smart TV was connected to the Hub2 using wifi, after a house rewire i have a LAN cable, i have connected to TV and to the back of the hub but it will not work, TV says LAN not connected. LAN cable is OK, so how do I connect it to the Smart Hub2. When i enter the hub manager, i can see the TV, but it will not connect. I factory reset the TV and tried to connect it, no joy.  frustrated now, hope you guys can help

If you're connected to LAN port 4 it may be configured as a WAN port, so try another.

Otherwise you may need to manually change the TV's network settings to ethernet.

Hi, thanks for the reply, LAN is connected to the 2nd port, i have tried the tv "easy setup" in the LAN directory, "no connection".

Expert setup starts asking for IP addresses and all sorts. I assumed it would plug and play

You want the TV set to DHCP or  automatic, depending on how it's menu is worded.

For expert settings try:

• IP: 192.168.1.1
• Subnet: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 192.168.1.254

If still no joy then make a note of your TV's picture settings & factory reset it.

Last resort would be a factory reset of the Hub, but if you have DV then backup your contacts first.
