- walrus01 6y agoI have a Samsung smart TV from mid-2017 and it does not appear to be broadcasting a visible SSID, nor a hidden one. Presumably that has changed in the past couple of years? if it remains in that terribly insecure state by default until you give it a connection to a network, unfortunately the only thing to do might be to give it the password to a $20 mikrotik wifi router (in a 20MHz 2.4GHz channel) as an AP, so as to not pollute the empty radio channel spectrum in your house, that has no connection to the outside world. What an ugly hack. Or give it the password to a secondary ssid set up on your main wifi, that goes to a dead end VLAN with no route to anywhere.

- foepys 6y agoAren't Samsung's QLED TV remotes Bluetooth only? Cutting the antenna would then also disable the remote and a modern TV without a remote is pretty useless.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoIt's clear that the only solution is not to buy a TV.
- kawsper 6y agoCouldn't desoldering the antenna lead to it overheating and damaging components?
- krastanov 6y agoNot really. 10 minutes of practice with some scrap wires would give enough soldering skills to remove it safely. The sibling comment about the Bluetooth remote worries me more
