Step-by-step setting up the Internet via cable on the Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55 inches

Connecting the Xiaomi Mi TV TV 4S 55 to the Internet via Ethernet cable is the optimal solution for stable streaming video, online games and fast downloading of content. Unlike Wi-Fi, a wired connection minimizes delays and eliminates the impact of interference from other devices. However, many users face difficulties in the first setup: the TV does not recognize the cable, does not assign IP-address or error "Network is not available".

In this article, we will look at all the steps of connection, from choosing the right cable to manually configuring network settings, DHCP failed), set up static IP-Address and check connection speed. Instructions are relevant for PatchWall firmware versions 1.5-2.3 and newer.

1. What will be required to connect

Before you start setting up, make sure you have everything you need, and not even one element can make the connection impossible.

• 🔌 Cat Cat Cat Ethernet Cable 5e Cat 5 cables may not provide speeds above 100 Mbps.
• 📡 Router (router) with free LAN-On the Xiaomi Mi. TV 4S 55 no built-in modem, so direct connection to the provider without a router will not work.
• ⚡ TV power supply – some users forget to connect the TV to the 220V network before setting up.
• 📱 Smartphone or PC to check the operability of the cable (optional).

If you are using a cable that was previously connected to another device (like a computer), reboot your router before connecting to your TV. DHCP-address.

2. Connecting the cable to the TV and router

Physically connecting the cable is the easiest step, but there are nuances here. TV 4S 55 is located on the back of the left (when viewed from the back) and it's marked with an icon. 🌐 or LAN.

1. Turn off the TV and router (not necessarily, but recommended for port cache reset).
2. Connect one end of the cable to LAN-router port (usually yellow).
3. Put the other end in the LAN connector on the TV before you click, make sure the latch on the connector locks the plug.
4. Turn on the router first, then turn on the TV. Wait 1-2 minutes for the devices to initialize the connection.

Important: Xiaomi Mi TV 4S 55 does not support PoE (Ethernet power), so do not connect the cable to ports marked PoE on the router - this can damage the network controller of the TV.

Make sure the cable is not damaged (no cracks, breaks)

Connect the cable to the correct port on the router (LAN, not WAN)

Check that the port indicator on the router is lit up in green / orange

Restart the router if the indicator is not active-->

3. Network setting in the TV menu

Once the cable is connected, the TV must automatically determine the network. If this does not happen, manually adjust:

1. On the remote, press the Settings button → select the Network and the Internet.
2. Go to Ethernet, if the option is inactive, check the physical connection of the cable.
3. Select Network Configuration → DHCP (Automatic Receiving IP).
4. Wait for the message Connected (can take up to 30 seconds).

If there is a mistake after this action, it is not possible to get IP-address, the reasons may be as follows:

• ❌ The router's offline. DHCP-server (must be enabled in router settings).
• ❌ The cable is damaged or does not conform to the standard (try replacing it with Cat 6).
• ❌ The port on the router is faulty (check by connecting the cable to another device).

💡

If the TV can't see the cable, try turning off the Ethernet Power Saving feature in the router settings, which some Xiaomi models have conflicted with the network maps of the TVs.

4. Manual tuning IP-addresses (if any) DHCP doesn't work)

Instructions for setting:

1. In the Network and Internet → Wired Network menu, select Settings manually.
2. Enter the parameters from the table above (replace the examples with your values).
3. Save the settings and restart the TV.

5. Speed check and troubleshooting

After successful connection, it is recommended to check the Internet speed and stability of the connection.

1. Open the Speedtest app (available from the PatchWall Store).
2. Run the speed test. Normal values for Mi. TV 4S 55: 📥 Download: at least 50 Mbps for Full HD-content, 100+ Mbps for 4K. 📤 Deliverance: 10+ Mbps (important for online gaming). 🕒 Ping: Less 30 ms (for) IPTV critically <20 miss).

Typical problems and solutions:

• 🐢 Low speed: check if the router is on QoS with a TV restriction. MAC-TV address in priority devices.
• 🔄 Permanent breaks: Replace the cable with the screened (STP instead UTP). Interference from household appliances can affect the connection.
• 🚫 No access to certain sites: Reset DNS-Settings or disable Parental Control on the router.

6. Optimizing the network for streaming and gaming

2. If the update is not available, download the latest firmware from the official Xiaomi website and install via USB.
