Your Samsung TV displays error 110 due to a connectivity problem. It’s either it keeps on disconnecting from your network or it can’t detect your Wi-Fi at all. This can be caused by a bug, weak signal, or router issue. But this may also be due to outdated Samsung TV firmware or IP and DNS settings.

To do this:

Press the “Home” button on your TV remote. (The one with the house symbol.)
Navigate to “Settings.”
Click “General.”
Select “Network.”
Choose “Open Network Settings.”
Find the name of the new network and click it.
Enter the password.
Click “Done” then select “OK.”

Note: If the error code doesn’t show up anymore, there’s a problem with your previous network.

#2: Reset the network on your TV

After tracing the possible cause, do this easy troubleshooting tip next.

This might help solve your connectivity issue. As it also worked out on many Samsung TV users.

How to reset the network on your TV:

On your remote, press the “Home” button.
Go to “Settings.”
Choose “General” and click “Network.”
Find and select the “Reset Network” option.
Click “Yes” to start the reset.

And then…

#3: Reboot your TV

Restarting is switching a device off and on to clear any bugs or errors.

This is why it may also fix your connectivity problem.

So, do this after resetting the network on your Samsung TV.

As well as if your device still gets the error code 110 even though you already performed a reset.

How to do this:

Option 1

While your TV is still on, unplug its cord from the power outlet.
Put it back in after 30 seconds.

Option 2

Get your TV remote.
Press and hold the “Power” button.
Do this until your TV turns off and on automatically.
Wait until your TV finishes restarting.
Check if the error code is still showing or not.

#4: Alter your IP and DNS settings

If your TV still can’t connect after entering your network name and password…

A message may show up telling you to change your Network or IP settings.

If you’re curious, IP means ‘Internet Protocol.’

Its function is to identify each device on the internet. And it’s composed of numbers and periods.

In some cases, this needs to be updated before your TV lets you connect to the Internet.

How to fix it:

Step 1: Know your IP address and DNS server number

You can use your mobile phone to get the info needed.

For iOS users

Go to “Settings.”
Find and select “Wi-Fi.”
Click on the “i” icon on the right side of your current network name.
Cycle down to view your IP address.
Write it down.
For the DNS server, scroll down again then click “Configure DNS.”

Note: You’ll see your DNS server number at the bottom part.

Again, write the info down.

For Android users

Navigate to “Settings.”
Click “Wi-Fi Settings.”
Select your current network.
Go to “Manage Network Settings.”
Choose “Show Advanced Options.”
Click “IP Settings.”
Set your IP settings to “Static.” (You’ll now see your network details.)
Write down both your IP address and DNS server number.

Step 2: Input the info you gathered on your TV

Press the “Menu” button on your remote.
Go to “Network.”
Select “Network Status.”
Click “IP Settings.”
Select “IP Setting.”
Choose “Enter manually” or “Manual Configuration.”
Input the IP address you listed down.
Go to “DNS setting” and do the same.
Press “OK” once you’re done.

Then see if the connection issue still persists.

#5: Look at your TV’s signal strength

If your TV can’t connect to any networks, your router might also have a weak signal.

How to check this?

Follow these easy steps:

Press your remote’s “Home” button.
Go to “Settings.”
Select “General” and click “Network.”
Choose “Open Network Settings.”
Click “Wireless.”
Count how many Wi-Fi bars are shown on the screen. (This indicates the strength of your signal.)

Note: If the bars are full, you don’t have an issue with your connection. The problem could be in your Samsung TV. But if not, try the tips below to boost your Wi-Fi signal.

#6: Move your router

Do you only have 1 to 2 bars on your Wi-Fi signal strength?

If this is the case, try relocating your router first. As well as changing its antennas’ positions.

Why?

A router’s location greatly affects the quality of the connection.

If it’s too far from your devices, they may find it hard to connect with the network.

And also, there will be many dead zones (spaces with little or no Wi-Fi signal) in your house.

Where to relocate your router?

Away from wireless devices: To prevent interference of signals.
On a high place: To improve connection as signals travel downwards.
In the middle of the house: To have a more equal signal distribution in all your rooms.

Then, if your router has an external antenna, turn it into a better position.

Where to best point your router antennas?

1 antenna: Point it upwards.
2 antennas: Point one upwards and the other one sidewards.

#7: Consider a Wi-Fi extender

If relocating your router isn’t enough to increase your signal, think of buying a Wi-Fi extender.

“What is it?”

It’s also called a Wi-Fi repeater. And its job is to expand your network’s coverage.

You only have to plug this in a power outlet. Then it’ll amplify the signals from your router and distribute them to all your devices.

How neat!

You can get this online.

But since there are many choices to choose from, here’s our best picks to help you decide:

#8: Use a wired network

This is perfect if you have another LAN cable at home. And also, if your router and TV are close to each other.

Connecting your device to a wired network will reduce your stress. As you don’t have to worry about unstable signals anymore.

Plus, you can do this in just a few minutes.

How to connect your Samsung TV to a wired network:

Get a LAN cable.
Plug one end into your router.
Insert the other end into your TV’s ethernet port.

Then that’s it.

Note: The only downside of this is that you can’t place your TV further away from your router if you have a short LAN cable.

#9: Reset Samsung Smart Hub

Now, if the tips above don’t work and your connection seems fine…

There might be something wrong with your Samsung Smart Hub.

If so, the simplest fix for it is a reset.

But before doing this, let me remind you that restart and reset are 2 different things.

The former only turns your app on and off. So no changes will be made to it.

Whereas the latter erases all saved accounts and settings on your Smart Hub.

Note: So if you opt for a reset, make sure that you have everything listed down (e.g., account names, passwords).

How to reset Samsung Smart Hub:

Press the “Home” button on your remote.
Go to “Settings.”
Choose “Service Care.” (This can be “Device Care” or “Support” in other TV models).
Select “Self Diagnosis.”
Click “Reset Smart Hub.”
Enter your TV’s PIN. (If this is unchanged, the default is ‘0000’).
Select “OK” if the reset is done.

#10: Update your firmware automatically

The next thing you need to do is make sure that your Samsung firmware is up-to-date.

“Wait. What is it?”

Firmware is said to be similar to an operating system in computers.

It’s the one controlling your TV. Plus, it also holds all the data, applications, and preferences of your device.

Now, Samsung gives occasional updates for their TV firmware. So ensure that your device is always up-to-date.

Why?

Samsung stated 3 important reasons.

You have to update your TV firmware to be equipped on any:

New features on HDMI or energy efficiency.
Current and future broadcast system changes.
Alterations in streaming app requirements. (Say, on Netflix or Youtube.)

How to update your Samsung TV firmware:

Hold your remote and press the “Home” button.
Navigate to “Settings.”
Select “Support.”
Choose “Software Update.”
Click “Update Now.”
Wait until your TV finishes scanning for available new updates.
Select “OK” once it’s done.

“Help! My update button is grayed out.”

If you can’t click “Software Update,” here’s a trick you can try.

Press the “Source” button on your remote.
Click the right arrow to switch source (e.g., HDMI1).
Then press the left arrow to go back to “TV.”
Navigate again to “Settings.”
Repeat the steps I listed above. (In ‘How to update your Samsung TV firmware.’)
Check if you can now click the update option.

#11: Upgrade your TV firmware using USB

Can’t update your firmware automatically for some reason?

Try the manual method instead.

Don’t worry. This may look complicated at first as there are many steps.

But, it’s quite easy.

Step 1: Download the software update file

Go to the Samsung website’s Manuals and Software Downloads link.
Click the “TVs & Home Theater” icon.
Type your TV model number in the search box.
Select its name when it appears on the suggestions.
Download the .zip file under “Software.”

Step 2: Verify your TV model number

Each Samsung TV has a supported file system.

This will vary per model. So make sure that your USB flash drive has a compatible format.

To verify this, check the model number of your Samsung TV

Note: It’s a code with more than 10 characters (both letters and numbers). And you can see this on the sticker located at the back of your TV.

Then look at the info below for the supported file systems.

QLED/SUHD Smart TVs: exFAT, FAT, NTFS.
Full HD Smart TVs: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS (read-only), FAT32.

Step 3: Format your USB

To do this, plug the flash drive first into your computer’s USB port. And then…

For Mac OS users

Navigate to “Applications.”
Double-click “Utilities.”
Click “Disk Utility.”
Select the name of your flash drive on the left side of the window.
Click the “Erase” tab at the upper part.
Rename your USB flash drive.
Pick a suitable file system.
Select “Erase.”
Wait until it’s finished.

For Windows users

Go to “This PC.”
Right-click the name of your flash drive.
Click “Properties.”
Go to “General” then look if the current file system is suitable with your TV or not.
If not, repeat the steps. Then select “Format.”
Click the tab under “File System.”
Choose the right type based on your model code (e.g., NTFS, FAT, FAT32, exFAT).
Select “Start” and wait for it to end.

Step 4: Extract the folder in your USB flash drive

Right-click the file of the software update.
Choose “Extract All.”
Select “Browse.”
Search your flash drive’s location.
Select it as the destination of the extracted files.
Click the “Extract” button.
Wait for it to finish.

Step 5: Install the file on your Samsung TV via USB

Switch your Samsung TV on.
Insert the flash drive into one of its USB ports.
Press the “Home” button on your remote.
Navigate to “Settings.”

Note: This is “MENU” for 2015 TV models. But if you have a 2014 one, skip to the next step.

Select “Support.”

Click “Software Update” and select “Update Now.”
Allow your TV to search the USB flash drive.
Click “Yes” to continue.

Note: If none of these works on your TV, there could be more problems in your network. For this, contact your Internet Service Provider, a.k.a. ISP. But if it seems to be a TV issue, send a report to Samsung support.
