1. Press the Google Home button to access the Android TV Home screen.
2. Select the Settings icon in the top-right.
3. Follow the steps according to the Android TV Settings menu.

Not connecting to Network via Wi-Fi
Solution 1: Ensure the Wi-Fi Password (Security Key) entered is correct.
Security keys are case sensitive. Be careful to use upper case and lower case correctly.
Examples of mistakes:
• I (capital i), l (lower case L) and 1 (number one).
• 0 (number zero) and O (capital o).
Solution 2: The Wi-Fi signal strength is too weak.
The SmartVU+ has a maximum optimal Wi-Fi range of 10 to 11 metres. If the signal is
weak, signal drops might be reduced by placing the SmartVU+ and the Modem/Router
closer together.
Solution 3: The SmartVU+ is too close to your Modem/Router.
If the SmartVU+ and Modem/Router are too close, communication may not work, as it
could have a detrimental affect on Wi-Fi performance. We recommend that you keep
the distance between the SmartVU+ and Modem/Router at more than 1 metre.
