problem connecting with sony bravia tv
I have tried everything. The t.v. has a USB adaptor, which the t.v. recognises. However, the LAN and WAN are always on "fail" and the t.v. settings are always on ip address starting with 169.... w...
Thank you so much to all who contributed assistance for my internet issue.
I got so fed up with it all, I went out and purchased a wifi extender............. I now have internet t.v.!! with 5 bars!!
The t.v. obviously didn't like the distance from the router.
Have a nice day!
I have tried WPS and no joy with that either. Not sure what Powerline is?? I have only just purchased the D6200 and it was quite expensive, so I was not expecting to have this issue with a Smart t.v. I have searched through Sony Bravia forums, and googled for answers but I have tried everything they suggested there. I have emailed Netgear support, in the hope they can shed some light on the problem.
Powerline carries the internet from you router to the TV over the mains.
Put plug next to router and another one by the TV. Connect router to first plug and TV to second plug.
You then have a faster and more reliable connection than wifi.

By all means hammer away at Netgear, but the number of people using Bravia USB wifi with Netgear kit will be small. The number of people using Bravia USB wifi with all manner of network hardware will be much larger. And this is probably an issue at the Bravia end. Google confirms this. That's why I suggest talking to Bravia owners for a quicker response.
Which TV is this? There's a load of Bravia TVs out there.
You might get better advice if you explained in detail where the problem lies. Is it the TV the throws up its hands or the router?
This bit doesn't make much sense to me:
the LAN and WAN are always on "fail"
What does on "fail" mean?
Did you purchase the USB adapter model number listed in the manual? You can use any access point and plug it into the TV LAN port
regarding the USB adaptor, yes I am using the correct one, in fact the ONLY one you can use on Sony Bravia tv's. Not sure what you
mean by this: "You can use any access point and plug it into the TV LAN port"
This is what comes up when I try to connect the tv:
Wireless Device on the TV - Found
Local Access - Failed
Internet Access - Failed
then when I look at the ip settings on the tv, the ip address. is always 169:254:83:134, which I know is incorrect. I have input
the correct isp settings according to cmd: ipconfig, but still no luck connecting.
use IP of 192.168.1.99
255.255.255.0
default Gateway 192.168.1.1

Thank you, but that made no difference. I really appreciate everyone's assistance for this problem, it is doing my head in! I bought the D6200 as an upgrade from the 2200, thinking it would do a better job, so I don't want to have to spend more money on this issue if I can help it.
