LG TV wifi not working. Anyway to get the free internet channels?

[Salil Surendran]

My LG tv wifi has stopped working. I used to enjoy the free internet channels . In order to fix it I will have to open the TV. I don't want to do that as yet. Is there any way to get the same channels on LG TV via the fire TV or some other module?

Your TV  should have an ethernet connection (my LG does). You have at least 2 options which just require some configuration.

1. What you need is what some people refer to as Wireless to Ethernet adapter (or bridge). The adapter send and receive wireless signal and your TV get the data through the Ethernet connection. This  should cost less than $50. (just do a google search on wireless to ethernet adapter). BTW a WIFI extender will also give you a single ethernet port. You can also configure a router in wireless bridge mode and connect your TV to one of the LAN ports. I am using the router method at home for all my wired only devices. Most people has old wireless routers  after upgrade. You may have one or get a used one really cheap or for free. If you just need that for supporting a single TV,  I don't see the need of getting the latest technology.  I think using 5G  on a dual band router will be better.

2. Use a powerline adapter between you main router and your TV. This will cost slightly more. It also can be interfered by electric noise.
