This happens every 2-3 days on my Samsung smart tv. "Connect your broadband....) TV continues to work, I can see alll programs on Sky/Terrestial and access my recorded programs.
Turn off sky > turn off router > turn both on > ok then.
TV is connected by Wifi (I did have it connected by ethernet AS WEE, but this caused problems (forgotten what).
Any ideas how to stop the above happening all the time ? Thanks

I'm confused .
Is it your sky box dropping connection ? If so is it built in WiFi or the older with a separate wireless box .
Or is it the TV dropping connectionEx forum ambassador

yeah, I don't know. TV is 8 yrs old. Had the same router/sky box for 7 years. Sky Does have a separate/small sky box called 'wireless connecter mini plugged in0

We had these type of issues with an old Sky router and when I called them about it they sent a new “Sky Q” router. It looks nicer but can’t say for sure that it works any better than the old one.Retired at age 56 after having "light bulb moment" due to reading MSE and its forums. Have been converted to the "budget to zero" concept and use YNAB for all monthly budgeting and long term goals.0
