Can't find your Samsung TV on your phone? Follow these simple troubleshooting steps to fix Wi-Fi connection and router discovery issues.

On your TV:

  • Navigate to settings
  • Select all Settings
  • Then press connections
  • Network, then Network Status


The name of the WiFi network your TV is connected to will be displayed. Ensure this is the same WiFi network your Phone is connected to. If different change the phone to be connected to the same network as the TV & repeat the steps to connect your Samsung phone to your Samsung TV. 

If the TV is still not listed, your router may be blocking discovery.

  1. Try rebooting your router by turning it off at the mains plug, wait 10 seconds & turn back on

  2. It will take a few moments for your router to reboot & allow both the TV & the phone to reconnect


Repeat the steps above to connect your Samsung phone to your Samsung TV.

Please note:

  • If the issue remains you may need to contact your router supplier (ISP) or Manufacturer for advice on how to resolve the discovery problems.
  • This should not affect the Smart View app once the connection has been established.
