    RESOLVED: Samsung UN46ES7100 WiFi not working

    I just wanted to post this here in case anyone else ran into the same problem.

    I had a UN46ES7100 and the wired Ethernet connection worked, but WiFi did not. Any time I tried to set up WiFi it would either 1) Show the available networks for a split second and then exit the menu, OR 2) Cycle forever looking for available networks and eventually go back to the menu. I know that these WIDT20R often fail, so I bought a replacement from China, but it exhibited the same problems. I did a little more research and found the following online:
    "Problems: Ue65es8000 - while doing wifi network search it would suddenly skip out or just close the menu completely .... no connect to wifi or nothing comes up while scanning for wifi
    in secret menu: sometimes i saw wifi MAC and sometime it show fail message
    solution :
    • turn tv off
    • with tv off press the following on the remote: info > menu > mute > power ( it is secret or service menu ) >>>> on my tv i had to press Mute>1>8>2>power to enter service mode
    • **be careful, don't change other things**
      • go to: Control > sub option and change "wifi region" and chose A
      • go back
      • go to: SVC > SVC reset
    • TV will power off. Power it on and your TV will ask you to config it"

    This actually WORKED for me and now everything is working perfectly. So, this appears to be a Samsung Firmware issue and not a hardware issue.

    Hope that helps someone!

    i think with out changing region if you do hard reset (SVC > SVC reset ) any error at firmware will corrected.
