What it means
TCL defines error 009 as the TV connecting to the router but having no internet access. The causes it lists are a temporary ISP outage, a router that has lost its upstream connection and captive portal networks (hotel, dorm, public Wi-Fi) that require a web sign-in. The code describes the path between the router and the internet, not the TV's Wi-Fi: it does not show that the network module is faulty.
