P.S. My key for the letter P came off. Is it repairable?

Could it be that you need the Passphrase, which is 8 or more characters long (I use 13 characters) for the Smart TV to start communicating through the network, rather than the admin/password combo which is used to access the router manager? Of course you would still need the admin/password to access the router manager in order to find out what was entered for the passphrase during the original router setup.

If you have a NetGear Router you should be able to access the router manager by typing 192.168.1.1 in your address bar. I don't know how to access the manager on any other brand than NetGear. Good luck!

BTW, on your P.S: if you still have it, it usually just presses back on. Carefully center it and press firmly until you hear a slight snap. Some are tricky, some are not. Now if you actually lost it physically and can't find it, try looking in Lake Sumter. Oh wait a second... there is no P in Lake Sumter. Never mind!!!
