My Sony 49X900F Android TV keeps dropping WiFi but other device's WiFi are just fine.
My Sony 49X900F Android TV keeps dropping WiFi but other device's WiFi are just fine. I am not using the wired LAN on the TV because it is only a 10/100 port. I have Fiber 150/150 internet. When...
The WiFi antenna on the router/booster does not transmit in a perfectly spherical pattern. It is directional and irregular to some extent in all 3 dimensions. If the TV's WiFi antenna is close to the booster it could be in the weak part of the signal because signal pattern hasn't had a chance to spread out yet. There can also be some reflective interferance being that close to the source. Moving the booster further away as Sony recommends is worth trying.
Is smart steering turned on on the router? It's possible the TV is flop-flopping between 2.4 and 5 GHz bands which will cause the drop outs. This flip-flopping may be caused or exacerbated by the poximity issue. Try turning off smart steering if moving the booster doesn't solve the issue.

I turned on WiFi on T3200 only using 5Ghz band with different SSID. And set the lowest 5GHz channel to not interfere with Boosters that seem on the higher channels for 5Ghz.
