Have this TV which, considering the price, I rate pretty highly, however it has an annoying habit of often randomly disconnecting from my WiFi network. Literally can be watching something and it just drops off or, more commonly, if I pause a streaming service for a few minutes it drops off the wifi. The only way to get it re-connected is to unplug the set and let it re-boot, putting the TV in standby or even going into the network setting, where the correct credentials are still logged, makes no difference, TV just fails to re-connect and plug has to be pulled

Wi-fi network is a mesh system, all other devices connect full strength where as the Philips TV shows 1/3 signal strength despite being only metres from two of the mesh nodes (one in the same room and one on the floor below). When I run Analti Wifi Speed Test Analyzer no issues shown and achieve full speed on my internet so figure the signal strength is a bit "guidance only". I am running current TV OS.
