ISP Blocking Issue

My Samsung Smart TV keeps failing the ISP blocking test. I have reset the wifi and the TV multiple times with no success. I have also tried to update the TV with nothing changing. It seems like an ISP problem. Please advise next steps.

user_76pko3 Hello and thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Community Forums. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your Samsung Smart TV. An "ISP blocking test" failure often points to a network configuration issue rather than a service-wide block from our end.

Here are a few quick steps you can try to get things running smoothly:

  1. Restart your equipment: Unplug your modem and router for about a minute, then plug them back in. This simple step can resolve many common connectivity issues..

  2. Use a wired connection: If possible, try connecting your TV to your router with an Ethernet cable. If this works, the issue is likely with your Wi-Fi signal.

If you've tried these steps and are still having trouble, please send us a direct message with your full name and address. We'd be happy to take a closer look and help you troubleshoot further!

Hello user_oxa9gd! I appreciate you taking the time to let us know what's been going on with your Samsung TV, and you're in the right place for help 👍 When you say the TV is failing specifically the ISP blocking test, is this something that's preventing your TV from connecting to your home network outright? If so, is your TV the only device impacted by this in the home?
