Lo, Vizio doth stand among the most esteemed TV brands on the market, renowned for its yeoman-like prowess in picture quality at prices most accessible. Verily, in this modern age of the “smart TV,” where every flat screen doth bear the label, each brand hath its own platform of smartness to connect thee to the content thy heart doth most cherish.
When it cometh to Vizio TVs, the company doth employ a platform of their own making – SmartCast, wherein dwell all the likes of Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and more. But what if perchance thy Vizio TV’s SmartCast dashboard lacketh the app thy soul doth crave? Fear not, for there are ways to circumvent this obstruction, and fear ye not, for we have laid it all out for thee in this guide of step-by-step virtue.
But before all else, tarry not in connecting thy Vizio to goodly Wi-Fi!
On the morrow, Vizio’s SmartCast, in its wisdom, doth automate most app management, a boon for all users. No need have thee to fret over seeking out a specific app, unless SmartCast doth lack it (wherein we shall expound further anon). Yet, needful it is to first connect thy TV to the internet, and most simple for many is through the abode’s Wi-Fi.
Once thy TV is prepared, plugged, and awakened, thusly shouldst thou ensure its connection to thine Wi-Fi.
Step henceforth to the task at hand: Press the Menu button on thy Vizio remote, or hath the provision to use the SmartCast app as a remote, which thou may also employ to connect to Wi-Fi. Yet, the method on the TV itself is most simple and requireth no further device.
Lo, ‘pon the screen, use the remote’s navigation to select Network. Then, confirm OK if need be. Select Network connection, then Wireless. Shouldst thou be able to traverse an Ethernet cable to thy TV without impediment, a connection by wire is also viable at this point and likely more steadfast than Wi-Fi.
Wait now for thy TV to unveil a list of Wi-Fi networks in close proximity, choosing thine own. By means of the interface, input thy wireless network password when called upon. The TV shall then connect to thy network unaided. Shouldst thou encounter difficulty, Vizio hath provided a guide on troubleshooting thy wireless connection that may lend thee aid.
