Connecting a Skyworth TV to a WiFi network is obligatory for streaming shows and movies online. If the remote is available, you can set up internet access on your Skyworth TV by going to its WiFi settings. But what if the Skyworth TV remote stopped working for some reason? Don’t need to fret. This article explains the alternative techniques to connect a Skyworth TV to WiFi without a remote.
Use a Keyboard or Mouse to Connect Skyworth to WiFi
You can use a keyboard with a touchpad or mouse as a remote controller for your Skyworth TV. If you own any of these devices, plug the keyboard or mouse’s dongle into the Skyworth TV’s USB port. Once you connect it and turn on the Skyworth TV, you can see a mouse pointer on the TV screen. Using an air mouse control, follow the steps below to connect your Skyworth TV to WiFi.
Skyworth Android/Google TV: Hit the Settings icon on the home screen → Select Network and Internet from the menu → Toggle the WiFi to ON → Enter the password using the on-screen keypad → Tap the tick icon (✓) to connect.
Connect the Skyworth TV to WiFi using IR Remote Apps
To use the IR-based Skyworth TV remote app, ensure your Android phone has an IR blaster. If so, install the app and choose an ideal remote. When the remote layout appears, you can use it to control your Skyworth TV. Go to WiFi settings and select a wireless network to establish an internet connection on your Skyworth TV.

Connect Skyworth TV to WiFi using TV Buttons
Fewer Skyworth TV models have Power, Volume, Menu, and channel buttons on the TV panel. When you press the Menu button on a Skyworth TV, a dialog box displays the TV settings. Press the Channel keys to navigate to Network & Internet settings, and press the Volume keys to select an open WiFi network. Once connected, use the remote app or an external keyboard to access the streaming apps on your Skyworth TV.
Connect Skyworth TV to a Wired Internet Connection via an Ethernet Cable
Skyworth TV supports LAN connectivity, so you can connect it to the wired internet through an ethernet cable. Grab the cable and connect one end to your Skyworth TV and the other end to a wireless router. Some Skyworth TVs can automatically get internet access. If not, use the remote app, go to the Network & Internet settings, and select a Wired Connection. Your Skyworth TV will detect incoming internet signals from the router.
This method is highly recommended if your Skyworth Smart TV can’t connect to WiFi due to weak signals. You don’t need to enter a password to connect the TV to the internet.
FAQ
Restart the WiFi router and Skyworth TV and check if it connects. If not, keep the router closer to the TV and connect it to a 2.4GHz WiFi network instead of 5GHz. If the problem persists, contact Skyworth customer support.
