You could pay a very small amount for a used house router and convince the TV that the house router is The Internet... and The Internet is down today. Best is if the TV doesn't try wifi when an ethernet cable is plugged in. Second best is if it has credentials to the wifi running on the used router.
Note that the router should not actually be connected to any other network.
- litoE 5y agoYou don't need a separate router. If you don't give the TV the password to your WiFi it won't be able to connect.

- Nextgrid 5y agoThis gets raised all the time but I just don't see it being necessary - the vast majority is happy to voluntarily provide it with an internet connection. The ones like us who fight it is a very small minority not worth spending on including modems/Sidewalk/etc in every TV.
