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.... which is know means it is not connecting.   I have tried everything, unplugging, rebotting, doing manual settings in the setup of the t.v.     Router is at one end of the house, and t.v. at other end, but I have no trouble

getting internet access on my laptop or phone.   

  • 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!

        wireless, via USB adaptor for the Sony Bravia.   Cannot connect via ethernet, as router is at one end of house, and tv at other end, hence why I need a wireless connection.
