Enter the router's default gateway IP address into the URL bar of any web browser to access the router settings. If the router is provided by your internet service provider (ISP), you may need to call them and ask how to change the security settings. Use a wired Ethernet connection.

If the TV has an Ethernet port, connect it directly to the router or modem with an Ethernet cable. If this fixes the problem, then the TV's wireless adapter could be broken. Reset the Vizio TV.
