Lost LAN IP ? >< WIFI issue

[user0815]

Hi,
found a new strange issue with my TV 40PFL5007K/12 FW 89

This morning I was suddenly frequently app. every 2 minutes surprised with a grey popup window to setup up the WIFI Adapter (even I have a LAN cable installed since month)
Didn't think about that rubbish and always keyed No to that mad setup demand. The request stopped asking after I think 3 or 4 times.

This afternoon I had a try with Smart TV and I saw the TV had obviously lost the LAN connection, even I have'nt done anything with it since month. Beside of rejecting the WIFI setup this morning.

So I assume the TV didn't get an IP adress whyever and asked to setup the WIFI confi again and again.

I have a AVM 7270 router and connected 3 WIFI devices, a PS3, a printer and the TV by LAN to that router.
The TV MAC address is 18:8E: D5:5C:33:41

Anyone else experianced this issue ?
What needs to be done to rule out this new to me failure ?
Why doesn't that silly device show an easy clear message when it has no IP, even some major features at the TV work with active internet connection only ?

I also got this problem last month. I simply did everything from scratch and it worked. I have been using this connection for 2 weeks now without any problem.

Hi User0815.

I would advise you to update to latest software (0.90.0).

After done this please set up your network again on your TV:
1. Press menu ( house button)
2. Go to settings
3. Find Network settings , press OK
4. Choose Wired and follow the instructions on the screen.


Best Regards

Hi Benedickte,
worked it out as suggested with FW 90 and had a little confusion with issue 3 ...
Network settings showed any other short 4 row menue instead of the long one with connection choice etc. Unfortunately I was to fast and don't remember which one :/

Anyway, on second trial I used the large upper settings box with
Connect to Network (Mit Netzw. verbind.) and then choosed Wired.
Assume you wanted to say that with issue 3 ?

The TV connected (three windows 1, 2, 3) and at the end it said something about installing Mediaserver.
I keyed ready OK and then a grey box appeared reffering to the installed USB HD. It asked whether I want to install a new one
I keyed 'close', not 'new' cause I did not want to format the existing.

However, everything related to Network seams fine for me. Checked IP-EPG, SmartTV, IP address. I see no entry about network issues in the FW 90 change log. Hope they did something though.
