KD-55XG8196 software version PKG6.6545.0255EUA

Any help really appreciated here. My Bravia won’t connect to the internet. I need to try a software update. I’ve downloaded updates onto a usb. When I plug the usb into the tv it gives me options to open with album, music, video or register for recording. How do I download the updates from a usb?

tv will connect to a hotspot but when I do a search for updates it says it’s up to date but I know it’s not.
thanks.

The new and latest Firmware is here:

If the TV wait a Video or Music File when you connect the USB is because you hasn't create correctly the USB Memory for Update.

Read Better the instruction at link...

Thanks for your reply. After 4 attempts the Tv is updated now but it’s dropping the WiFi connection every few seconds so I have another problem to fix 😏

Ok, and a simply Router's reboot?

Are the Bands 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz togeher?

If yes, can you divide?

We did the router reboot. I presumed the bands were separate because I have the option to join either one. Is that right? It won’t work with either of them.
