What’s wrong with never configuring the WiFi for it?

...Not a damn thing. Makes you wonder if people on here connect their smart tv to the net just to find a complicated solution to make it dumb again.

Someone is going to run in here talking about how smart TV's randomly connect themselves to wifi, which is absolutely nonsense.

HN things I guess.

It depends on the manufacturer, but a lot of new ones show pop ups until you connect to a network

Connecting it to Wifi means you can use Airplay, Chromecast, Miracast..
