Greetings,
My Samsung Smart tv will connect to a wired connection but not wireless. After troubleshooting the issue Samsung is telling me I have to get the tv serviced but it is out of warranty. I can't afford it nor do I think its fair since its only a few years old. At any rate, when I try to connect it will find a list of available networks but when I click on mine it won't ask for the password. It just sits there. Also, I have to reset and start a new set up to even get that far. So, my only option is a direct connection.
The problem is my router is located in another part of the house and I can't move it. I"m trying to figure out if I can use an old router I have. Is there a way to somehow configure it so I can plug it into the living room for a wired connection to the tv without having to run a long ethernet cord between the two.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I"m on a tight budget trying to use what I have without spending money.
Thanks
