Smart TV will not join Wi-Fi, apps will not open, or a streaming device shows no signal? We set up and troubleshoot TVs, remotes, soundbars and streaming boxes at home.
Testing happens in the room where you watch, so we can see the real Wi-Fi signal, HDMI connections and accounts you use.
If we can't fix it, you don't pay for the labour. Parts already ordered are excluded.
No fix, no fee
If we cannot complete an eligible repair, you do not pay for the visit.
We come to you
No unplugging everything or carrying your computer to a shop.
Clear, practical help
Your technician explains the issue and options before work goes ahead.

Common smart TV problems we fix
A smart TV issue can come from the TV, modem, router, app account, HDMI cable, remote, soundbar or streaming device. We check the whole setup before changing settings.
- TV cannot see the home Wi-Fi network
- TV connects to Wi-Fi but apps still say offline
- 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi names are confusing
- The TV is too far from the modem
- Apps need updates or are signed into an old account
- Activation codes or QR code logins are not working
- Wrong HDMI input selected
- Streaming device is not powered correctly
- Factory reset is needed before setup
- Remote, Bluetooth or audio settings need pairing again
What the technician does
- Checks the TV, streaming device, Wi-Fi signal and HDMI/audio connections
- Finds the correct Wi-Fi name and confirms the password where available
- Reconnects the TV or device and tests streaming apps before leaving
- Explains what changed in plain English so the setup is easier to use
How we diagnose TV Wi-Fi problems
We start by checking whether the internet works on other devices, whether the TV can see your Wi-Fi name, and whether the TV has saved an old or incorrect password.
- Check phones, laptops or tablets on the same Wi-Fi
- Open the TV network settings and review available networks
- Forget the old network and reconnect with the correct password
- Restart the modem, router, TV and streaming device where appropriate
- Check whether the TV needs 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz or Ethernet
- Review router placement, signal strength and mesh options
If the internet itself is down, we can help isolate whether the issue is the modem, NBN connection, router, password or service provider before blaming the TV.
Help finding your Wi-Fi name and password
The Wi-Fi name is also called the SSID. It may be printed on the modem, saved in a phone, or changed by an internet provider or family member.
- Telstra, Optus, Aussie Broadband, TP-Link, Netgear and other router names
- Separate HomeWiFi and HomeWiFi-5G networks
- Saved passwords on phones, tablets or computers
- Resetting saved TV network details
- Choosing the more reliable Wi-Fi band for older or distant TVs
- Explaining which network each entertainment device should use
